Second runner for yard; won five times over hurdles and once over fences when trained in UK; three chase starts for this yard with best run coming when fifth at Limerick; needs a fair bit more. |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 120y |
10st 10lb |
Useful performer for Henry Daly, winning six races, including an Ascot handicap chase; modest form in two starts for this stable, albeit trip and testing ground probably not ideal on latest; new cheekpieces need to spark. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 1f 77y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Very lightly raced 9yo who has won a bumper and a 2m4f maiden hurdle; he was in last throughout in a three-runner novice chase last week at Newbury when returning from 13 months off; as was the case then, these terms aren't favourable. |

17th Feb 2026 2m 0f 92y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Bumper and 2m4f maiden hurdle winner; very lightly raced 9yo who seems to enjoy the mud but has a long absence to overcome on his chasing debut and he's the lowest rated of these by some margin. |

18th Jan 2025 Heavy 2m 5f 50y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Bumper and 2m4f maiden winner, whose best form in light career was registered on heavy; never dangerous when well beaten on seasonal/handicap debut (2m4f, heavy) early last month, whereas he won last season when returning from a much longer break. |

Had two wind ops on either side of winning a 2m4f maiden hurdle at Market Rasen in April 2023; lightly raced since and it wasn't his first scruffy jump when falling on chase debut in November; others safer. |

2nd Mar 2025 Good 2m 3f 31y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Point runner-up who won a novice hurdle here (2m3f, good) in March 2023; however, he struggled on his two chase starts in late 2023 and it's been the same story over hurdles this winter, following an absence. |

12th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |

Well beaten in two chases in his only races last season and no show when he reverted to hurdling last month after a 406-day absence; hard to latch on to unless he's been strong in the market. |

12th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Struggled last season on final three runs for the Newland/Insole yard; however, he won off 4lb higher at Bangor (2m4f, good) last April so has a handy mark to work with if a change of scenery has prompted a revival; new yard is enjoying a good month; remains in the same ownership. |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won off 1lb lower at Bangor (2m4f, good; also suited by soft) last Apri but has suffered three non-completions since then and was well beaten when he did get round; clearly capable of a big run but comes with a good few risks. |
12/1 |

27th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |

Pulled up in two of his four chases but first and second in the other two, with the win coming in a small field over C&D (good); this looks a better race. |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 4f 97y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Scored at Chepstow (3m2f) in October but he turned in a rare poor effort when pulled up in 3m5f Fakenham handicap chase in December; cheekpieces are reached for now and he's the sort to bounce back. |

19th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 4 |

26th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 3m 2f 34y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Two wins this season from his first three chase starts (3m, good to soft) and another good run when second at Worcester (2m7f, good) in August last time out; takes on some unexposed rivals and it's likely he'll need further improvement, but his chasing experience is a positive. |

29th Aug 2023 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Just three runs over hurdles and now 2-3 over fences; didn't have much in hand last time at Uttoxeter (3m, good to soft; 5lb lower) but dug deep when it mattered and runner-up Miss Antipova should go well in the opening race. |

Yet to be placed after ten starts under rules but ran well when ninth of 15 over C&D (good; beaten under 9l) in first-time visor last month and has possibilities off a 3lb lower mark today; tongue-tie refitted. |

27th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 210y Class 1 |
12st 0lb |
Landed the bumper on this card in 2022; justified market support in major handicap at Kempton (good to soft; first attempt at 3m under rules) most recently, taking chase record to 3-5 and overall strike-rate to 9-20; remains particularly unexposed over this sort of distance and commands respect returned to Aintree, with further progress plausible. |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
A front-runner and not the only one; however, he was a Grade 2-winning hurdler and very much heading the right way over fences, as his third at Newbury (2m, good to soft) has worked out well and he then won by 24l over 2m4f here last month (left clear two out) despite being taken on by Leader In The Park; looks well in off only 4lb higher and, although unraced over this far, he's always looked a strong stayer at 2m4f. |
