23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 6f 31y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Irish point/bumper scorer who made a promising start in this sphere when fourth of five in novice at Ffos Las (2m4f, good) 18 days ago, leading long way; cheekpieces added; has more to offer and rates a player. |
9/4 |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Irish point winner who went 2-3 in good-ground bumpers; absent for over a year but should pay his way over hurdles. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Placed over hurdles; only his second run over fences when doing it fairly comfortably here two weeks ago (2m5f, good; fine on softer) and he promises to stay this far; every chance off a 6lb higher mark. |
6/4 |
|
1st 1 |
5th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 110y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Placed over hurdles and again on his chase debut at Exeter when fitted in a first-time hood; that aid is missing here but stepping up from 2m3f looks favourable. |

27th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Well down the field in 15-runner Worcester handicap won by Quick Of The Night three weeks ago and now 0-7 over hurdles; needs a good boost from the first-time cheekpieces here; tongue-tie removed. |
33/1 |
|
11th 6 |
7th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Nine-race maiden who was well held in her first two handicaps and she unseated at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good) last time; still only a 5yo but she needs overall improvement to get involved. |
16/1 |
|
3 |
24th Jun 2025 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
0-5 over hurdles; arguably ran better than eventual 22l defeat suggests when fourth of six at Stratford (2m6f, good; first-time tongue-tie) last month and may benefit from this drop back in trip but others appeal more. |

8th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Useful form in handicap hurdles at about 2m4f and time might show he had a tough task trying to give plenty of weight to the first two on chase debut at Worcester (2m4f, good) in June; major player off the same mark. |
11/4 |
|
3rd 1 |
18th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
2-6 over hurdles; returned from a break with creditable fourth of 14 in competitive Cheltenham handicap (2m4f, good) in April; will be a tough nut to crack in this lower grade if he takes to fences at the first attempt. |
5/2 |
|
4th 13 |
16th Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 56y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Perhaps unsuited by soft ground when pulled up in a Grade 2 in December but it's been a progressive campaign otherwise and was a closing third over 2m6f at Kelso (handicap on good to soft) when last sighted later that month; unlikely that a lack of recent match practice will hold him back here and could be interesting. |

24th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 25y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Placed in both points; duly posted a promising effort, despite failing to justify favouritism, at Hereford (2m5f, heavy) last time on handicap/chase debut; open to progress in this sphere; respected. |
13/8 |
|
2nd 5 |
11th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Modest form when placed in Irish and British point; nothing to show for three starts in novice hurdles but unexposed and may do better on this handicap/chase debut; watch the market. |

9th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 66y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Has won two of his last three races, both over 3m1f here, the latest on soft ground; also won over C&D last March; on a career-high mark (up 4lb for his latest win) but should run well again despite dropping back in trip. |
6/1 |
|
1st 2 |
30th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 1f 71y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Made it 2-2 here with comfortable win over C&D (good to soft) last month; unproven on soft ground, and only fifth at Market Rasen (2m7f, good to soft) a fortnight ago, but that wasn't a bad performance and he has to be respected now back at Catterick. |
4/1 |
|
5th 4 |
16th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Returned to peak form when moved back up in trip at Catterick (3m1f, good to soft) last month, justifying good market support in the process; current mark probably demands a career-best performance but he's not fully exposed over staying trips. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Thorough stayer, a dual winner over 2m7f last season, latterly on soft ground at Uttoxeter in November; dropped in class at Southwell on latest start but proved unsuited by the drop to 2m4f, and this trip is likely to find him out again. |
7/1 |
|
6th 3 |
2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Thorough stayer who has won twice over 2m7f this season, the latest on soft ground at Uttoxeter in November; quite highly tried on last two starts; interesting down in grade. |

Fourth foal; dam multiple 1m-1m4f winner (RPR 86), is granddaughter of maiden sister to French 5.5f Group 3 2yo winner Doree and half-sister to French 1m4f Group 3 winner Glorify; makes his belated debut in a bumper and others are preferred. |

Yet to finish in the first six in points or under rules, so hard to recommend even though he ought to be helped by this step up in trip. |

Had jumping issues when failing to complete in all three of his points this year; out of a bumper winner but tongue-tie is now added and he looks a likely outsider on this switch to rules. |
