1st 3 |
25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 6f 164y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Useful novice chaser whose form features second-place finishes in 3m Grade 2 events at Sandown and Windsor; came up rather short in Grade 1 at Aintree last time but looks one of the main contenders returned to this level. |
15/8 |
|
4th 2 |
10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 210y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Tends to lead; scored at 1-50 on his chase debut at Warwick in May and impressed when winning by 10l at Exeter (3m, also good) in November; put in his place by Salver on last two starts (good to soft/soft) but comes here fresh having skipped Cheltenham and any drying of the ground would be in his favour; could get them all at it. |
14/1 |
|
2nd 3 |
18th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 60y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Has won on soft but seems ideally suited by faster ground; record of 2-5 since switched to chasing includes a Class 2 win at Exeter (3m) on penultimate start; not disgraced at Sandown latest but was beaten 12l by Salver; 5lb pull looks insufficient in the rematch. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Won back-to-back handicaps at Taunton (2m3f, good) and Warwick (2m, heavy) during the winter but he flopped at Newbury in final run for Stuart Kittow; new headgear is now tried and he has a bit to prove on first run for new trainer. |
16/1 |
|
5th 4 |
20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
2-2 since the cheekpieces went on, winning narrowly at Taunton (2m3f, good) but easier when making all at Warwick (2m, heavy); a collective 9lb rise demands more but should give himself every chance under a positive ride. |
11/2 |
|
1st 3 |
7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Just held on to score in first-time cheekpieces at Taunton (2m3f, good) in December and now 2-11 over hurdles; only 3lb higher here but the slower ground is probably not in his favour. |

2nd Feb 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
10st 12lb |
Flat (1m4f) and hurdle winner (1m7f), but he's been out of sorts under both codes in seven runs for his current yard; has lots to prove and he needs a major revival back up in trip; first-time blinkers. |
33/1 |

16th Jan 2026 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |

Flat (1m4f) and hurdle winner (1m7f) but he's been out of sorts under both codes in six runs for his current yard; has lots to prove and he needs a major revival back on the Flat; equipment removed. |
25/1 |

5 (5) |
19th Aug 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Won a 1m4f handicap for Richard Fahey in July 2023 and was subsequently sold for 215,000gns to go jumping; won a Wincanton handicap hurdle for Paul Nicholls last December, but hasn't achieved anything of note for this yard; makes AW debut. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 125y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Four wins (2m1f-2m5f) over hurdles; made an encouraging start over fences when 3l third of six at Southwell (3m, soft) last month; solid claims if building on that run with cheekpieces now fitted. |
8/1 |

3rd 1 |
2nd Mar 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Record of 51211 in Class 4 handicap hurdles; has failed to fire in a couple of Class 3 events this term but looks interesting back down in grade on chase debut. |
7/2 |
|
15th 11 |
14th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 123y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Three wins from off the pace last season (2m3f-2m5f, good to soft/soft); managed only fifth on last month's return at Haydock (3m, good to soft) but was quite badly hampered by a mid-race faller and made good headway from the rear on the final circuit; might come on for the run; interesting. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Has proved unreliable but he resumed winning ways at Uttoxeter (2m) in July and followed up with another 2m handicap win there 30 days ago, overhauling Ocean Heights late on; not taken lightly in his current mood. |
5/1 |

1st 6 |
24th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Resumed winning ways (in a change of headgear) in C&D handicap 17 days ago; he's not always proved the most reliable so needs to back it up now from a 5lb higher mark. |
3/1 |

1st 9 |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Proven winner who had lost his way but got back on track with a near miss at Worcester (2m, good) 20 days ago; just 2lb higher but the new blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) cast some doubts. |

11st 2lb |
First past the post in the same novice handicap at Taunton (2m2f, soft/heavy) in two of his three chase attempts, last time comfortably making amends for being disqualified a year earlier (banned substance found in sample); may have more to offer over fences; shortlisted. |

3rd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 2f 40y Class 5 |

Won this race readily (soft ground) on chasing debut at year ago, only to be disqualified after testing positive for a banned substance; made low-key reappearance on good ground here in December but still features prominently in calculations. |

Irish point winner; runner-up in a Taunton maiden hurdle in January but well beaten since; travelled well for a long way on this month's reappearance when upped to around this trip on handicap/chase debut and should be all the sharper for that run; not ruled out with a tongue-tie now added. |

26th Jan 2025 Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Nine-race maiden but he returned to form when third in a first-time tongue-tie (retained) under Osian Radford at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft) on New Year's Eve; also effective on soft ground; has the same mark as last time and he's a leading player if backing up that latest run. |

Unplaced all six hurdling starts but shaped quite well before fading at Ffos Las (2m4f, soft; first run after wind op) last month, and may benefit from combination of drop back in trip and first-time tongue-tie here. |

Trailed Dunstall Rambler and Haafback on Wincanton's chasing debut, but he wasn't done with when falling two out at Sedgefield latest, despite which he's eased 2lb more; not ruled out; blinkers replace visor. |
