9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 176y Class 1 |
10st 8lb |
Below par at Kempton (2m4f) in February last time but he's run well in defeat otherwise this season, including when fourth over C&D (good to soft) on his reappearance in a race that worked out extremely well; this front-runner could make a bold bid in first-time cheekpieces back at 2m. |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Free-going front-runner who was a little too keen for his own good when weakening into a 10l third at Cheltenham four weeks ago (2m4f, soft); the ground might not be quite so slow this afternoon and that would help him; respected. |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
10st 4lb |
Front-runner who usually jumps soundly; reappearance fourth at Aintree worked out well and he ran a cracker when second at Newbury (again 2m, good to soft) later in November; now steps up in distance and his pedigree gives real hope that the increased test of stamina will suit; interesting. |

13th Jun 2023 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
8st 7lb |
Maiden with minor form in handicaps so far, at 1m to 1m4f, and has plenty to prove in this one as well. |

Maiden under both codes who's still to get involved in a finish and who's regressed since handicapping; is some way down the pecking order. |

26th May 2023 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Didn't show a great deal in three juvenile hurdles towards the end of last year; handicap debut from a lowly mark but considered only if lively in the betting. |

13th Apr 2023 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Handicap debutant who has very weak claims on his form shown in juvenile hurdles; jumping lacked fluency here when last seen; 4lb out of the weights; needs a transformation. |
25/1 |

30th Dec 2022 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Last of three finishers on soft ground at Bangor and then finished completely tailed off on good at Doncaster; very opposable. |

20th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won a junior hurdle last season but chasing didn't go to plan in December (two attempts) and he was well beaten when switched back to hurdling last month; cheekpieces added today; needs to get career back on track. |

2nd Mar 2024 Soft 2m 0f 128y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won a junior hurdle in early 2023 and remains lightly raced but began chasing career with two very disappointing runs in December and it's hard to know what to expect from him on this handicap hurdle debut. |
