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. |

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 |

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. |

9th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won three times over hurdles and got off the mark in this sphere in a match at Plumpton (2m4f, soft) four weeks ago; up 4lb and difficult to evaluate but on an upward curve and one to be interested in. |

Three-time hurdle winner (2m-2m5f; all on right-handed tracks); respectable efforts in both runs over fences, last time runner-up at Wincanton; won't mind returning to further or getting back on softer ground. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Productive spell from August 2024 to April 2025 over hurdles and on the Flat; has had some struggles in a light campaign this season but he showed signs of a revival at Stratford (2m6f, good) last month and has possibilities if he can build on that. |

28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |

Productive spell from August 2024 to April 2025 over hurdles and on the Flat; Fontwell win over nearly 2m6f started that sequence but this season's three runs over hurdles were heavy defeats. |

Productive campaign last season over hurdles and on the Flat; however, tailed off towards the end of last year on last two hurdle starts and he wasn't at his best back on the Flat early this month. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Bumper/hurdle winner who won on only his second run over fences at Southwell (3m, good), cosily by 3l; good chance off 6lb higher but might not appreciate too much rain (good to soft would be acceptable). |
2/1 |
|
1st 4 |
1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Successful in a bumper (good) and course maiden hurdle (good to soft) in the first half of 2024; bettered that winning course form when twice reaching the frame over hurdles much later that year; pulled up when switched to fences for his comeback run at Taunton seven weeks ago but it's possible the heavy ground was against him given his form has come under less testing conditions. |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 7f 176y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Unraced beyond 3m2f but should stay further than that; 15l winner of a major 3m handicap at Kempton last February but he's found his revised mark a bit too tough since (close second to Herakles Westwood at Cheltenham on New Year's Day) and is still 10lb higher today; others are a bit more persuasive. |
25/1 |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 1 |
10st 13lb |
Always wears a tongue-tie; on a sharp upward curve when taking this 12 months ago by some 15l (on good to soft); makes his defence off an 11lb higher mark but on the back of a return to form at Cheltenham (in cheekpieces; wore a visor in this last year); course form here always ticks a big box and can run well again. |
5/1 |

11th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
10st 13lb |
Won in January in his first two chases (3m/3m2f, soft/heavy) then lacked fluency over his fences when second at Wincanton (3m2f, good to soft); bar one small blip he jumped much better at Kempton (3m, good to soft) 17 days ago when romping home in the Ladbrokes Trophy; hit with 12lb rise but that may not stop this highly progressive 7yo, who was very impressive last time. |
