13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 56y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Record of 321 switched to handicaps this term and the form has substance; ran well behind a notable rival on penultimate start (2m3f, good to soft) and subsequent Newbury performance (2m4f, good) took his strike-rate to 3-9; improving and remains particularly unexposed beyond 2m. |

22nd Feb 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Both wins have been here, on bumper debut (soft) and last time dominating from the front for a wide-margin maiden success; that represented a major spike in his form and he's hard to rule out. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Lightly raced 7yo who won a three-runner Sandown novice (2m, soft) last season; well beaten in two 2m4f handicap chases in the autumn (blinkered last time) and now reverts to hurdling in cheekpieces; tricky to weigh up. |

27th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Promising in bumpers and again when winning a 2m novice hurdle at Sandown (soft), after which he pulled up at Punchestown; goes chasing with an unexposed profile and he's had a wind operation. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 203y Class 1 |
11st 1lb |
Has won two of his four chases since joining Olly Murphy and impressed over C&D (soft) in February; an 8lb rise appeared to anchor him in the Jack Richards at Cheltenham, though good ground could have been another factor in him being below par (seems ideally served by softer); respected but one or two others appeal more. |
9/2 |

7th 16 |
12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
10st 8lb |
Campaigned mostly on soft/good to soft; bumper/hurdles winner for Paul Nicholls; record of 121 (over 2m4f) since joining new yard and switched to chasing, both wins gained in comfortable fashion, latest at Haydock; could make some waves in these deeper waters, being a lightly raced and improving contender. |
12/1 |
|
1st 6 |
14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
A fairly useful bumper/hurdles winner for Paul Nicholls; has looked an improved model sent chasing for his new handler this winter, scoring easily at Southwell (2m4f) before a clear second of six in 2m4f Leicester handicap 48 days ago; up 4lb but he has more to offer and merits serious consideration. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 110y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Form has gone rather awry in last three outings but he has been progressive otherwise, culminating in 2m4f handicap wins at Cheltenham and Newbury in the autumn; may rebound and run a good race. |
14/1 |

15th 1 |
14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Largely progressive but came up short off top weight in the Lanzarote when bidding for a handicap hat-trick and needs to prove current mark isn't beyond him; unseated rider three out in 3m Grade 2 last time. |
8/1 |

14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Won big-field handicaps at Cheltenham (2m4f, good to soft) and Newbury (2m4f, soft) in the autumn; having gone up the weights he was merely mid-division at Kempton (2m5f, good) last month and is untested at today's trip, but this lightly raced 6yo may still have more to offer and is not discounted. |

22nd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-7 over hurdles; ran well when third (albeit safely held) in higher-grade event at Kempton (2m5f, good) in November but two lesser efforts have followed and the ground here is likely to be slower than he prefers. |
10/1 |

4th Nov 2025 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Made inauspicious start to hurdling career in March 2024, unseating rider when trying to refuse at third flight, but his second of 14 here (2m3f, good) the following month was much more promising and he returned from long absence with perfectly respectable run last month; makes handicap debut today; further improvement possible |

10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
2025 bumper winner (2m, good) but generally a weak finisher over hurdles since, even with a tongue-tie and after wind surgery; couldn't be confident about chase/handicap debut (Flat bred) despite respected connections. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won good-ground bumper by 8l in March 2025; rather disappointing when well-held third on hurdle debut in October and has failed to complete twice since but shaped with promise before weakening and falling at Southwell (2m, good) last month, after a break. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 5y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Only stepped up to 3m in his last three races and went close in two of those; looked as though he'd win at Newbury last time (good to soft) only to get outbattled; the cheekpieces could be significant. |
2/1 |

2nd 4 |
20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 57y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Won seasonal/handicap debut at Newton Abbot (extended 2m6f, good to soft) in October; good C&D third (soft) next time but a flop as favourite at Doncaster (3m, good) in December when last seen; needs to resume improvement. |
6/1 |

1st 3 |
29th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 122y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Bumper winner who made the breakthrough over hurdles when landing a maiden at Exeter (2m5f, good) in March; had to work hard to seal the deal in that match but he's still unexposed in this sphere and should have more to offer in handicaps this season; had wind surgery since last run. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Improved to win off lowly hurdle mark at Southwell (2m4f, good) in May last year; made satisfactory chase debut when fourth over C&D (good) last September but has been off since; this looks a tough assignment on his return. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Got off the mark at Southwell in July and creditable second in two handicaps here since, all on good ground over about 2m5f; well worth a go at this longer trip and has strong each-way claims again. |

Half-brother to 2m-2m4f hurdle winner Ten Past Midnight; dam 2m6f/3m hurdle winner, out of 7.4f-1m4f winner; yard has very low strike-rate in bumpers in last five seasons. |
