27th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Ended 2025 with two wins at Southwell (3m, soft/good to soft), looking in particularly good nick on latter occasion; struggled from just out of the weights in last week's Surrey National at Lingfield but enters calculations in this easier race. |

19th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 4f 178y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Ended 2025 with two wins at Southwell (3m, soft/good to soft); contests this much stronger race from 3lb out of the weights but he looked in particularly good nick on his latest outing and this trip should be fine. |

11th Sep 2025 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |

The last of six chase wins was at Southwell (3m2f, good to soft) in March; very mixed since then and wouldn't be the percentage call. |

16th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
1-37 and still surprisingly error-prone despite so much chasing experience, leaving his mark on several fences en route to a 8l C&D fourth latest (good); frame finish probable but hard to predict better even off this career-low mark whilst the mistakes remain; cheekpieces return. |
7/1 |

4th 5 |
31st Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Extremely hard to win with, having won only one of his 34 races over fences and runner-up on 13 of those occasions; even if he jumps better than last time (beaten 18l), he'll probably find a way to come up short; a rare run without any form of headgear. |
8/1 |

6th Mar 2026 Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 5 |

Unreliable sort; jumped sketchily when a well-held fourth of seven in 3m Sedgefield handicap chase 16 days ago so others are much preferred. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Scored off much reduced mark when back over hurdles at Southwell (3m, good) in June but all three subsequent runs were disappointing and he now has questions to answer again; new headgear tried. |

24th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Won off much reduced mark when back over hurdles at Southwell (3m, good) last month and is still well handicapped on older form, but was soundly beaten on his last two outings and now has questions to answer again. |

20th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Exploited some help from the handicapper when back over hurdles at Southwell (3m, good) this month and is still on a workable mark after going back up 5lb but needs to rebound quickly from disappointing run on Saturday. |

15th Nov 2024 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Back on track with last month's Huntingdon fourth (3m, good), but once again couldn't tease out her resources for long enough and the change of headgear looks worth a go; player if that works with mark never lower. |

8th Oct 2024 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |

Twice runner-up over fences in May, including over C&D, but she turned in a below-par seventh back hurdling at Worcester (2m7f) last month; she needs to bounce back. |

15th Nov 2024 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
Continues to operate some way below the level of early 2023's peak Doncaster hurdles form, placing but still beaten 23l on last month's return to chasing (3m); down another 2lb but not as persuasive as most. |

27th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 45y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Takes on possible improvers in this field; otherwise a solid candidate who has five chase wins on his CV, the most recent off current mark in this race 12 months ago; last two efforts show he's back in form; respected. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
11th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Scored for the fifth time over fences when taking a Wetherby handicap (3m, good) just under a year ago; made a solid return in November and he was back down to that last winning mark when bumping into an improver at Southwell (about 3m1f, soft) three weeks ago; contender. |
9/2 |

2nd 3 |
18th Feb 2026 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Scored for the fifth time over fences when taking a Wetherby handicap (3m, good) in March; back down to that mark but his last two efforts have been uninspiring; needs a revival but that's not out of the question. |
