16th May 2025 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Dual chase winner last season (2m4f/2m), both times by wide margins in small fields; suited by good ground but ran poorly when last in action and still needs to prove he can cope with this career-high mark. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Has perhaps needed his two runs since a lengthy layoff, sixth to Fiercely Proud at Ascot latest; may be ready to hit top form and accordingly looks interesting off current mark when considering his back class (Grade 1 novice winner over 2m4f in December 2023). |
20/1 |

6th 3 |
14th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 63y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Seemed to need latest run when back from a lengthy layoff; interesting off current mark assuming he's still capable of peak form, which includes a success in the 2023 Challow on soft ground. |
5/1 |

18th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Absent since finishing lame at Newbury in November 2024, truncating a novice chase campaign; smart previously and has Grade 1 form, including a success in the Challow (2m4f, soft) as a novice hurdler; 2-4 in this sphere; on a workable mark provided he retains ability. |

Pulled up with respiratory issue in December and not seen again since but went close on handicap debut at Market Rasen (2m7f, good to soft) two starts ago and remains lightly raced; major player if back on song. |

2nd May 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Both wins over hurdles have been over C&D, the latest in September off 6lb lower; will have benefited from his recent pipe-opener when fourth at Market Rasen (2m,good) and should run well. |

4th 1 |
5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Dual winner on good ground at Uttoxeter last summer; still in good form when last seen in the autumn and probably still on a workable mark but has fitness to prove after four months off and recent rain reduces his appeal. |

Ten-race maiden who was an unlucky second, having been badly hampered early on, at Ascot (2m7f; belated handicap debut) most recently; raised 6lb but has clear possibilities granted better fortune. |

0-6 over hurdles but was second in Kempton maiden (2m5f, good) last spring and also ran well when fourth in novice race over that C&D in November; upped in trip for today's handicap debut; a possible. |

Showed no significant promise during five-race hurdling spell last April-July and is 8lb out of the weights for today's chasing debut; sports first-time blinkers; can't be recommended. |

24th Feb 2023 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Has some bumper winners on her dam's side but she made a low-key start when a remote fourth of six over C&D (7-1) last month; that was in mud but she needs to leave that form miles behind on this switch to quicker ground. |
25/1 |

14th Jan 2023 Heavy 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Fourth foal; dam placed 2m3f hurdle, half-sister to bumper winner Teffia Native, 3m hurdle winner Playboy Luke and bumper/2m3f hurdle/2m6f chase winner Sunrise Lady; trainer 15-97 in bumpers the last five seasons, which is more than respectable. |
4/1 |
Verdict
With eight wins from his 19 runners in bumpers this season, plus seven who finished either second or third, Paul Nicholls more than likely has a very strong candidate in the 8l Irish point winner CAPTAIN TEAGUE. The potential of Ascot seventh Samazul is preferred to the Warwick placed form of Much Too Dear among those who have run in this sphere. Dan Skelton fields the newcomers Asta La Pasta and Diamond Twin.[Richard Austen]
