18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 7f 176y Class 1 |
11st 13lb |
0-5 in this first chase campaign but pipped at Cheltenham (2m4f, soft) in January and a close third of 22 in the Ultima at the Festival there (3m1f, good to soft) on latest outing; raised 5lb for this first attempt at a marathon trip but he's relatively unexposed and kept on stoutly in that bold show last time. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
10st 10lb |
Mixed form during this novice chase campaign but he went very close in handicap here (2m4f, soft) in January and 2m was against him back in novice company at Newbury latest; best performance over hurdles came when winning at 3m at Ayr (good to soft) last April; possible improver now back up in trip. |

17th Feb 2026 2m 0f 92y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Tongue-tie has been retained since he won a 3m handicap hurdle at last season's big April meeting at Ayr; runner-up in two of his three chases and jumped well when nosed out by the likeable Jordans Cross at Cheltenham last month (2m4f, soft); surprising to see him back at 2m but at least the ground will be testing, and he'd be giving weight to all his rivals in a handicap. |

11st 10lb |
Fell at the first flight in Grade 2 Persian War at Chepstow (17-2) on penultimate start and never threatened to justify evens favouritism with an underpowered display in a maiden there (again about 2m4f on good to soft) later in October; last February's third at Ascot is the best form in this field but a lot now seems to depend on the wind surgery he had in November; also now tongue tied. |

31st Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 178y Class 3 |

Ties in with Precious Metal on Lingfield running but that rival has a better profile; failed to make a significant splash on handicap debut (2m4f, heavy) since; the only contestant who is still seeking a first win of any type. |

5th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |

Modest form in two bumpers last spring and when third of 13 at 100-1 in maiden hurdle at Chepstow (2m4f, soft) in October; needs to build on that markedly but, unlike a lot of these, she's shown she has some ability. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 3m 1f 5y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Promise in two Chepstow maiden hurdles (about 2m4f, soft and good to soft) around this time last year but only mid-division in two subsequent handicaps; wasn't beaten far in the latest of them on last month's reappearance, however, and has untapped potential at this trip; hood goes on. |

10th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |

Shaped with promise in two C&D maidens last autumn and wasn't beaten far when upped to 3m for handicap debut in March; back from another break today but remains unexposed. |

21st Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 52y Class 4 |

Plenty of promise in his bumper and a pair of 2m3f maiden hurdles (from soft to good); very interesting now raised in distance on his handicap debut as there's lots of stamina in the pedigree; absent since November so market support would be welcomed. |

11st 11lb |
Displayed significant improvement when upped in trip to make a winning handicap debut at Wetherby (3m, soft; first-time tongue-tie) just over a year ago; prominent in the market before flopping on his comeback when said to have made a respiratory noise at Market Rasen at the start of last month; subsequent wind surgery and cheekpieces might help him bounce back. |

1st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Displayed significant improvement on handicap debut at Wetherby (3m, soft; first-time tongue-tie) just under a year ago, where he was left clear at final flight to score by 13l; not seen since but could easily have more to offer if fully tuned up. |

26th Feb 2025 Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 3 |
10st 9lb |
Always behind at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) last time but it was a hot maiden and he previously kept on for a fair fifth at Chepstow (extended 2m3f, soft); made the frame in 3m points and this lightly raced 5yo is open to improvement now up in trip on handicap debut in a first-time tongue-tie; chance. |

Three runs at Chepstow look easily the best of his seven appearances over hurdles, the most recent when fifth of 17 in handicap (2m3f, good to soft; acts on heavy) in November; his dam had stamina but this 6yo was pulled up on both his attempts at this sort of trip, including latest outing. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 8y Class 1 |
10st 3lb |
Record of 2-8 over fences; his narrow defeat by Aworkinprogress at Lingfield (3m5f, soft) puts him in the mix and there were excuses last time at Exeter where he was kicked at the start, made the odd mistake and lost a shoe; can put a line through that; hard to rule out. |

20th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 6f 153y Class 3 |
10st 7lb |
Fifth in the Borders National at Kelso (4m, soft; unraced on heavy) in December was up with his best at the time; suffered an early mishap next time but raised his game when rallying strongly for a close second in the Surrey National at Lingfield (3m5f, soft; jumped to his right) on latest start, which puts him firmly in the mix despite this 5lb higher mark and going this way round could help; he should have a big shout. |

Very close third over hurdles on seasonal debut in November and not beaten far from out of the weights in Borders National at Kelso (4m, soft) when back over fences last month; suffered early mishap last time and is 1lb wrong today but, after only six chase runs, he's not fully exposed. |

Career highlight when winning a 15-runner handicap hurdle here (extended 2m7f, good) last April off 4lb lower; easily best of three runs this season was also his only one at this sort of trip (penultimate start) and he's one to keep an eye on now back up in trip on chase debut. |
