18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 7f 176y Class 1 |
10st 9lb |
Three wins (wore cheekpieces for last two) and a second from his last four starts, all over about 3m/3m1f; unraced beyond that but there's a great deal about him which suggests that he won't really come into his own until handed a major test of stamina; he receives one today and, despite the step up in class, consequently makes serious appeal. |

Took well to first-time cheekpieces at Catterick, beating Paddy O'Mahler and making it two wins (3m/3m1f) from his last three starts; may improve further in the retained headgear; enters calculations. |

12st 0lb |
Won at Wetherby (3m, soft) in December on fourth chase start and bumped into useful prospect when second at Doncaster (3m, soft) last month; won on good/good to soft over hurdles; cheekpieces go on; solid claims. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Point winner who is 0-13 under rules; has some useful hurdles form to his name, with his best effort coming on good ground and over a similar trip to this; on a handy mark for this chase debut if better for a recent hurdles start; check the market for clues. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Now 0-12 under rules and beginning to look exposed; however, he brings the best form to this maiden and was going easily when falling three out at Sedgefield last time (2m1f maiden); unraced beyond 2m5f under rules but this winning pointer should stay. |

14th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
0-8 over hurdles but three times runner-up and ran well for fourth on handicap debut at Ascot (2m3f, good) before slipping up early at Aintree in April; the cheekpieces worn the last twice are left at home but he's a major player back in a novice. |

Promise on all three starts over hurdles, best effort on first go at 2m4f when runner-up here last time (soft); one to consider. |

2nd Jan 2025 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |

Fair form in two bumpers and two hurdles, last time finishing third of nine at Newcastle (2m, good; evens favourite); this stiffer test of stamina should suit; one to consider. |

28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
A three-time hurdles winner (around 2m) last season; failed to go on in three starts over fences this term and he was pulled up back in this sphere at Warwick (2m5f) last month; player in this grade if first-time cheekpieces spark a revival. |

7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 5y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Won three novice hurdles last season and was highly tried in his defeats; it's been a mixed start over fences (after wind surgery), let down by his jumping on handicap debut latest; probably worthy of this mark and he's back over hurdles. |

30th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
In good form on the Flat this time last year, following up 2m win at Newcastle by winning twice over this C&D in May (good/good to firm); not been in top form on AW this year, but better run over hurdles last time; 5lb lower than last Flat win and is one with a chance. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Easily best effort in four maiden/novice hurdles last season when second at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft); did manage back-to-back wins over 2m on the Flat at Catterick last May but more recent AW Flat efforts have been no more than respectable. |

6th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 137y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Showed nothing more than minor promise in three novice hurdles in the autumn (2m-2m4f) and seems rather harshly treated for today's handicap debut, but he's very unexposed; dangerous to ignore. |

Two wins at Carlisle in November 2024 (2m1f, soft/good to soft); mixed form since, including over fences; sound run back hurdling at Carlisle in March (2m1f, soft), but poor next time and has since had wind surgery; bit to prove. |

Fourth foal; sister to bumper/2m5f hurdle winner Choccabloc (RPR 130); dam bumper/2m1f hurdle winner (122) from talented family; top trainer does well here; one to be interested in on debut, especially if strong in betting. |

Ex-Irish; well beaten on both starts in maiden hurdles in Ireland and pulled up in a Carlisle novice (2m1f, soft) on stable debut two weeks ago; plenty to prove on handicap debut. |

Didn't show much in Ireland in the spring in a point and two bumpers; bought for £6,000 in May; watching brief advised on stable/hurdle debut. |
