11th Mar 2023 Soft 1m 7f 216y Class 1 |
10st 7lb |
Multiple Flat winner in France/Germany; in the frame all five starts over hurdles, although a well-held third of 16 when favourite at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) two months ago seemed a backward step and this is tougher. |

11st 8lb |
Multiple Flat winner in Europe who found plenty when winning at Bangor in November and ran up against a smart-looking rival on handicap debut at Wetherby since (both 2m, soft); has potential improvers against him but is strong on bare form. |

11st 2lb |
Won on his handicap debut at Southwell (2m4f, good) in November 2022 but he's 0-10 since and has not made an impact back over hurdles (2m7f/3m) in last two runs; mark continues to fall but he needs to raise his game with cheekpieces added. |

After chasing aspirations were soon aborted he didn't run too badly back over hurdles in a Class 3 at Ascot (2m7f, good to soft); of some interest on the back of that if able to build on it. |

Hasn't won since Ludlow success in November 2023 (2m5f, good to soft); two fair runs over this sort of trip at Market Rasen and Ffos Las in February and could go well again. |

|
2nd 3 |
20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |

Best effort for two years when under 4l behind Gold In The Rivers at Market Rasen latest (2m7f, soft), passing stopping rivals having lost his pitch; 2lb swing with that rival and yard back among winners in the meantime. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Good ground is the key to him; his form had nosedived but he was running much better when hampered late on at the Cheltenham Festival and then came good at Haydock (2m4f, good), prevailing only narrowly but under a confident ride in a strong race (he also won it the season before when staged at Cheltenham); a 4lb rise seems very generous. |
11/8 |
|
1st 4 |
15th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 203y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Won this race 12 months ago at Cheltenham when 1lb higher so he's dangerously handicapped for his defence; his form had nosedived after winning in a small field at Newton Abbot in October but the signs were more encouraging last time in the 2m4f Plate at the Festival as he was staying on when hampered by a faller at the last fence; has to be of interest, especially given the yard's form. |
4/1 |
|
11th 13 |
10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 44y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
He's run some of his better races at Cheltenham, including a New course win (about 2m4f, good; off this mark) from O'Moore Park last April; not much going for him on his form since beating three rivals at Newton Abbot in October but some sort of revival isn't beyond the imagination. |

Maiden; placed in his latest two chases, most recently when third to Arbennig at Worcester, where he made some unconvincing jumps; hopes of reversing those placings may depend on him being more fluent. |

1st Aug 2023 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |

Pulled up on chasing debut in April (found to have irregular heartbeat) and well held when fourth at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) last month but this low-mileage 5yo is in good hands and may yet do better. |

Has not shown a lot in three non-handicaps from 2m to 2m4f and looked a tricky ride last time; entitled to improve as he gains experience and handicaps should now be a better fit. |

Won a point bumper in January 2022; well held under rules until handicap debut 18 days ago when she won seven-runner race at Hereford (good) on step up from 2m to 2m6f; 5-4 favourite that day and plenty in that performance suggested she would stay further; raised 6lb but may well follow up. |

Dual chase winner in 2024; returned from one-year absence with low-key hurdle run for new stable in July but shaped with a lot more promise at Perth last month and should now be at concert pitch for this return to fences. |

8th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
