1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Two small-field wins around 3m on good in the autumn; went off the boil subsequently but very much back on his game when second of 11 at Chepstow 17 days ago; raised 5lb for pulling clear of the rest but it looks justified given the third was successful back at Chepstow last week. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Very useful staying hurdler who has won six of his 13 races, two of them last season, at Haydock in December (3m, good to soft) and at Warwick in March (3m2f, good to soft); not so good last time but these conditions suit and he could bounce back. |

8th 1 |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Back in good form this winter, including on last two starts (good to soft) when he prevailed narrowly over C&D in December and battled back for a clearcut win at Warwick (3m2f; from Porter In the Park) four weeks ago; raised another 4lb but the return to a sharper test is more of a worry. |

8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 0y Class 3 |
12st 1lb |
A thorough stayer who has won over fences; back in good form over hurdles following a break and seemed to do just enough when prevailing narrowly at Haydock (3m, good to soft); every chance off this 5lb higher mark. |

14th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
High-class staying chase form includes a close second in the 2024 Scottish National but he fell in that race last year and hasn't shown a glimmer of his old ability over hurdles or fences since; lots to prove. |

19th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 4f 178y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Very useful marathon chaser on his day but looked out of sorts in three hurdle races towards end of last year; given another wind operation (his third) since; well handicapped but reverts to chasing with lots to prove. |
25/1 |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 208y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Very useful marathon chaser on his day; didn't run anything like as badly as 61l defeat might suggest when making seasonal debut in recent 2m7f hurdle race at Uttoxeter but needs that outing to have brought him on. |

9th Nov 2023 Good To Soft 3m 1f 125y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Started off for Gary Hanmer with two respectable runs in this month last year, latterly when fifth in a good-quality Uttoxeter chase (2m6f, soft); has fitness to prove after 354-day absence but the handicapper has given him a good chance. |

10th Jan 2023 Good 3m 2f 1y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Pulled up on his fencing debut for Paul Nicholls in June but he's performed with credit on both subsequent runs for current yard, fifth in 2m6f Uttoxeter handicap chase in November; no forlorn hope from a 5lb lower mark. |

5th 8 |
20th Nov 2022 Soft 2m 6f 108y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Won a maiden hurdle at Hexham in May 2021 on debut for Paul Nicholls but failed to go on from that; pulled up this June on sole chase start and was a soundly beaten fourth over hurdles at Worcester on recent stable debut; 3lb out of the handicap now back over fences and others are preferred. |

20th Nov 2022 Soft 2m 6f 108y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Made it 3-3 over hurdles when winning on his handicap debut here (2m7f, soft) in March and he wasn't disgraced in a competitive handicap at Aintree next time; his trainer has high hopes for him over fences and this very lightly raced point winner could be an improver on today's chase debut. |

26th Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 5f 56y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Point winner who looked promising when landing a novice hurdle at Warwick (2m5f, soft) in February 2021; first-fence faller at Uttoxeter last month when back from a long absence and he may have needed the run when back over hurdles at Chepstow three weeks ago (tailed off); in top hands and has a first-time tongue-tie, but nevertheless has plenty to prove. |
25/1 |

3rd Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Looked very promising during two-race novice hurdle campaign in 2020-21 but wasn't seen again until falling at first fence on last month's chase/handicap debut; quickly switched back to hurdling here and remains unexposed but not an easy horse to weigh up at present. |
