5th 3 |
2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 96y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won in January on first two chase starts (2m4f/2m3f, good to soft/soft) and bounced back from a lesser run when second here (2m5f, good to soft) 12 days ago in a first-time tongue-tie (retained); won a 3m point in 2024 and there's every chance he'll stay this far under rules; high on the list. |

2nd 8 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Won in January on first two chase starts (2m4f/2m3f, good to soft/soft), shaping each time as though he had more left in the tank; soundly beaten at Newcastle (2m, good to soft) since but that maybe shouldn't be taken as a sign that his current mark is beyond him; cheekpieces go on. |
8/1 |

5th 4 |
21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Progressed well over hurdles; didn't appear to be doing a lot in front when just holding on to make it 2-2 over fences at Catterick (2m3f, soft; second run in cheekpieces); has another 6lb to contend with but very much heading the right way. |

1st 5 |
30th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 51y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Progressive over hurdles towards the end of last year (including on soft ground) and won in first-time cheekpieces (retained) on chase debut at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) a fortnight ago; he appeared to idle when in front last time and a 5lb rise may not be enough to stop him today. |
6/4 |

1st 4 |
15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 19y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Ended 2025 in good form over hurdles, scoring at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) before going close at Carlisle (2m3f, soft), and this Irish point winner is open to more progress on his chase debut; cheekpieces added. |
4/1 |
