2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Seemingly aided by new tongue-tie when winning twice at Huntingdon (2m, good to soft/soft) during the winter, and was not discredited when second to revitalised subsequent winner at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) last month; sometimes races a bit too freely but should be fine on this left-handed track; respected. |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 149y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Always the risk his reluctance to settle will temper his late effort, as it did when over 1l behind A Great Excuse at Lingfield in December; 2-2 at Huntingdon since, however, deriving the benefit of the tongue tie once again when making most there latest (soft); 5lb rise appears pretty fair. |

22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Last year wasn't all plain sailing but he delivered on previous chasing promise when scoring over C&D (good to soft; first-time tongue-tie) just before Christmas and should be fine on the slower ground today; respected. |

12th Apr 2025 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Has yet to win on the Flat or over jumps and had the run of the race up front when collared at Lingfield last time (1m4f; January); still needs respecting on the back of a positive run. |

Opened his account in similar event over C&D (good to soft) last week, scoring comfortably and taking well to Brighton at the first attempt; 5lb penalty puts him on future mark; respected. |

7th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |

16-race maiden; fared no better than fourth in 2025, hanging left-handed under pressure at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) a fortnight ago; others appear to have more to offer. |

23rd Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
0-9 over hurdles but ran his best race this season with cheekpieces added when an 11l third of six over C&D two weeks ago on his first try at this far; should be thereabouts if repeating the effort. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 5 |
9th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Still a maiden over hurdles but produced one of his best results over 2m5f, the longest distance he's tackled; modest third over 2m1f last time; combination of new trip and first-time headgear may have positive effect. |
8/1 |

30th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
0-6 over hurdles but ran well in all three handicaps last season, most recently when second (albeit well held) behind heavily backed rival at Fontwell (2m5f, soft) in February; at least each-way claims if ready to roll. |

27th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Irish bumper winner; made underwhelming start to hurdling career last season but kept on strongly to win Stratford handicap (2m2f, good to firm; second run after wind op) this month; upped in grade here but could still have more to offer. |
5/1 |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Irish bumper winner who had yet to reproduce that ability over hurdles until runner-up to a subsequent winner, when upped to around this trip at Warwick last month (back from a break following wind surgery); remains with handicap potential and one to consider. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
4th Jun 2025 Good 2m 3f 0y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Irish bumper winner, unable to reproduce that promise over hurdles and soundly beaten on handicap debut at Fakenham in January, but he returns from a break having had wind surgery and with his trainer in fine form; no surprise to see a bigger performance today. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Not beaten far at Market Rasen in July (first-time visor) and he was keeping on in second when brought down at the last here (2m2f, good to soft) in October; heavy defeat when last seen in December but it's still fairly early days and he's not dismissed on this return. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
0-4 over fences but posted a couple of respectable efforts in new visor this summer (2m1f/2m) and ran considerably better than eventual 31l defeat suggests at Stratford (2m3f, good) this month; drops back in trip here; place claims. |
