26th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Having dropped back down to his last winning mark he returned to form when third in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Wincanton (3m1f, good to soft) three weeks ago; he's a contender if backing up that effort. |

3rd 1 |
5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Back on his last winning mark of Christmas 2024 but too little about either start this term suggests he'll capitalise, and not obviously crying out for this new trip of late either; cheekpieces added. |
5/1 |

26th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 116y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Let down by his jumping over fences at times but still a capable performer in that sphere, although his reappearance last month was laboured; needs to be forgiven that effort but reverts to hurdles on a fair mark and is 2-7 in this discipline. |

1st Feb 2025 Heavy 2m 7f 98y Class 1 |
10st 3lb |
Unraced on heavy under rules; given wind surgery in September and has had three races since, creditable third on soft over 2m7f/3m on last two occasions and he passed four rivals in the closing stages at Cheltenham latest (finished just behind Idefix De Ciergues); tongue tied that day and now tries cheekpieces as well; they need to prompt a career best. |

1st Jan 2025 Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
Had wind surgery before penultimate start; due to have this tongue-tie first time at Market Rasen (near 3m, soft) five weeks ago but ran without it and was back to form in a close third of seven; in the mix. |

16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Multiple hurdle winner who is rated 12lb lower over fences and he rediscovered some form when beaten 2l at Cartmel three weeks ago (2m5f, good); should be bang there if repeating that effort. |
3/1 |

3rd 1 |
26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won three on the bounce over hurdles in February (2m-2m4f, good to soft/soft) but has lost his form in the blink of an eye and finished last on his recent return to chasing (0-8). |
10/1 |

4th 3 |
9th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Returned to form and completed quick hat-trick over hurdles in February (2m-2m4f, good to soft/soft) but quickly went off the boil towards end of last season (pulled up on two of last three appearances); competes off his lower chase mark here and might be allowed an uncontested lead but has a poor completion rate over fences; risky. |

25th May 2025 Good To Firm 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
2-42 when trained in Ireland; respectable fourth under Ben Smith at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) in February was easily the best of her four races for new yard; 7lb lower today but she probably can't be relied upon. |

12st 0lb |
Held on gamely to win heavy-ground maiden at Carlisle (2m1f) in February but was soundly beaten in both handicaps since, the latter his seasonal/chase debut last month; reverts to hurdling with a point to prove. |
