29th Mar 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 3f 100y |
11st 12lb |
Winner of his last two handicap hurdle races seven months apart, at Uttoxeter for Nicky Henderson in May 2024 and on first run for Willie Mullins at Limerick in December that year; ought to be capable of much better than at Leopardstown on chasing; far too keen then, and dropped away very quickly before the last; tongue-tie now in addition to hood. |

Absent since finishing 5l behind Caprelo here in May; may put up a better fight in the rematch, having been fresh when gamely making all over C&D earlier in the spring. |

Having his second start back from wind surgery when making all and just holding on over C&D last month (first two clear); has since finished fourth of eight in a slightly better race at Ascot (2m, good to firm); respected, especially if again allowed an uncontested lead. |

12lb lower when winning over fences in February but has posted three good runs on the bounce now, the last two over hurdles (2m, good to soft); sure to be involved if holding his form. |

25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Had some fair form for Michael Wigham but well held in 2m handicaps at Uttoxeter and Fakenham this term after a long absence; hard to make a case for in his bid to gain a maiden success. |

20th Jul 2024 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Improved to win comfortably on handicap debut at Kempton (2m, good; first-time tongue-tie) in April and bettered that performance when close/clear second at Fontwell (2m1f, good) in May; had wind surgery last month and now moves up in trip again; may still have potential. |

2nd 1 |
26th May 2024 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Did it well when making a successful handicap debut at Kempton (2m, good; first-time tongue-tie) last month after a year off; up 10lb when only fifth of 11 at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft) eight days ago, but only two flights were jumped so it's probably best to forgive that; shortlisted. |

No better for cheekpieces or this headgear combination in his last three races and he's now 0-15; unconvincing. |

9th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Kept on well for second on chase debut at Hereford (2m, good) in November but was pulled up on next outing and made low-key reappearance when third of five (probably only fourth best on merit) at Worcester (2m, good) last month; needs to up his game here. |
12/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
22nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Won a 2m handicap hurdle here (good) in September 2024; pulled up in two of his four starts since but he was runner-up over fences at Hereford (2m, good) on his penultimate run; that form puts him in the picture and this unexposed chaser is not ruled out after another break. |

10st 8lb |
Placed off today's lowly mark on handicap hurdle debut at Kempton (2m, good) in April and didn't run badly in a somewhat unsatisfactory race at Uttoxeter last month; back up in trip for today's chasing debut and has possibilities if he takes well to fences. |
10/1 |

18th May 2024 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |

Runner up in a good ground maiden bumper this time last year; hasn't built on that over hurdles but took a step in the right direction at Kempton (2m, good) latest; could be involved if able to build on that. |

11st 11lb |
C&D winner last November (good to soft; held up), when 15lb lower; also held up when showing marginal improvement to score at Wincanton (3m, good) latest; up another 6lb but looks a leading player. |
11/8 |

1st 6 |
1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 150y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Made the breakthrough at Exeter (2m5f, good to soft) in November and he had a near-miss at Taunton (3m, good) the following month; looks interesting on that form but he was laboured at Exeter last month and that took his hurdling record to 1-18. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |

Came good here (2m5f, good to soft) in November, his 14th hurdling start, and has performed well over 3m at Taunton on all three starts since; ought to be right in the thick of things again. |

Won a good-ground Fakenham bumper for Milton Harris in 2022 before a long absence; beaten only 10l in a 1m7f Wincanton maiden in April but well held on both starts since switched to handicaps; needs to improve for the big step back up in trip with cheekpieces and a tongue-tie now added. |
