30th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 80y |
11st 12lb |
Dual Flat winner's sole success over hurdles came at the Cheltenham November meeting in 2024 when successful off 7lb lower (2m5f, good); beaten 31l in a quality Aintree handicap in April (2m1f, good to soft) when last seen over obstacles; run on the Flat at Chester wasn't too encouraging either. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Met with heavy defeats in his two Flat races last term and hasn't lived up to expectations as a hurdler; 2024 was much more promising, including with his second in this race off 1lb lower than today, and it may be good a pointer to see how his two stablemates get on in the Chester Cup. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 103y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Justified strong market support in 2m5f Cheltenham handicap (good) in November 2024; belatedly back to that sort of form when second of six at Newcastle (extended 2m4f, good to soft) in November but let down by his jumping when only a respectable fourth at Kempton (2m5f, good) over Christmas; drops back in trip for his first run since. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 208y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Made very good progress last season, winning twice over 3m on New course here (good to soft/good); ended up with too much to do when finishing well for close third at Haydock (3m, good) in May and probably still has more improvement to come. |

Made very good progress last season and had three of today's rivals behind when coming from off the pace for driven-out success at Cheltenham (3m, good) last month; 6lb higher today but could still have more to offer. |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Five-time hurdle winner with a good strike-rate, one she enhanced when prevailing in a classy small-field beginners' chase at Ludlow (3m, good); remote last of three in a Listed chase for mares at Warwick where soft ground was no good to her (fine on good to soft); has since had wind surgery and retains potential as a chaser. |

Point winner; no further success since Sligo maiden hurdle win in June 20024; second in a 3m1f Listed handicap hurdle at Navan in December; last month's two runs in beginners' chases were over inadequate trips; a potential dark horse over this distance; cheekpieces for the first time. |

Point-to-point winner's sole success over timber is a Sligo maiden hurdle; fine effort in Listed handicap hurdle at Navan, took a backward step on latest however in Fairyhouse beginners last week over inadequate trip; once again needs more of a stamina test than this. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 125y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Prolific winner over hurdles; just as good over fences and holding his form well, beaten off only on run-in when second at Leicester (2m6f; stays 3m1f well) four weeks ago; handles any ground; leading contender. |

6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Prolific winner over hurdles; off the mark over fences at the seventh attempt at Wincanton (3m1f, soft) when fitted with first-time cheekpieces in January, and matched that level when runner-up at Newbury the following month; can make his presence felt again but he's never won off a mark this high. |

Prolific winner over hurdles; it was in a lower grade when getting off the mark over fences at Wincanton (3m1f, soft) but that was fairly comfortable and it was his first time in cheekpieces; off 5lb higher he can make his presence felt. |

2024 EBF Final winner off 7lb higher; unseated too far out at Uttoxeter latest to say if and where he may have figured, but his poor winter up to that point tempers enthusiasm either way; overlooked. |

Very promising novice during 2023-24 season but generally very disappointing over last two campaigns; has dropped a long way in the weights but he was pulled up three times during the winter before a remote fifth at Newbury (3m, good to soft) last time; down the list. |

Pulled up over 2m5f/3m2f when moving into handicaps late last year; third in maiden over an extended 2m5f at Market Rasen last month was a step back in the right direction but others have more solid claims; tried cheekpieces then visor for last two starts. |
