Form & Verdict

Very useful at up to 1m6f on the Flat and he won on his hurdle debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in September; this is a tougher test of his credentials and he may need further at some point, but he has obvious potential in this code given his Flat ability; has run well on slow ground on the Flat.

Form & Verdict

2-2, the wins coming in an Irish maiden point (3m, soft to heavy) in February and a novice hurdle at Fakenham (2m, good) last month; he could do with settling better but he won with plenty in hand last time and it remains to be seen where his limitations lie.

1	18th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 110y Class 1	13:10 Ayr Matata 12st 0lb J: J J Slevin T: Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies	Something to prove regarding current form although he didn't take to the National fences when pulled up mid-race in the Topham at Aintree last week; this is a lower grade than he's used to contesting and he's capable of playing a big role if back on song now returned to conventional fences.	14/1
2	10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 1	16:05 Aintree Matata 11st 13lb J: J J Slevin T: Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies	Better than ever when easily winning at Cheltenham (2m4f, good) on New Year's Day and on that evidence this 5lb higher mark isn't necessarily beyond him; however, two lesser runs have followed; has to get back on track.	25/1
5th 9	12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 1	16:00 Cheltenham Matata 11st 10lb J: J J Slevin T: Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies	Nearly all races at around 2m1f and the step up to 2m4f was clearly a stretch behind Jonbon in an Aintree Grade 1 last April; coped better with the trip when a convincing winner of a C&D handicap (good; has won on soft) in January but a lesser effort followed at Windsor and he aims a lot higher here.	33/1
