10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 199y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Had a simple task when beating two stablemates at Lingfield (2m, good to soft) in December; finished behind Jax Junior and Mambonumberfive in his runs on either side of that win; bottom of the list on ratings. |

Only 1lb above his last winning mark but hasn't truly threatened this season and no better for cheekpieces the last twice, in the County Hurdle and then over 2m4f at Aintree; he wouldn't be the obvious answer here. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Finished a creditable close second of three finishers in a Grade 2 at Kempton (about 2m4f, good) in January but he's an infrequent winner and it's two years since he ran well in a Grade 1 (not far away when falling two out in the Arkle here, then touched off at Aintree); well adrift in this race last year and there's no reason to expect much better today. |

7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 92y Class 1 |
11st 8lb |
Landed this prize last year but incurs a bigger penalty this time, making him worse off with runner-up Libberty Hunter, and concedes weight to some other notable rivals that include a very promising 5yo; outgunned by 12yo Edwardstone at Kempton most recently; chance of doing the Game Spirit double partly depends on how well he responds to first-time headgear. |

26th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 1 |
11st 6lb |
Unproven at this trip but kept on well to win Grade 2 Game Spirit at Newbury (2m, soft) in February and his two subsequent defeats came in Grade 1s; likes it here, with course form figures of 122, and he's fine on good ground; from in-form yard and can play leading role if seeing out the trip. |

Best RPR of 80 on Flat; not yet a natural jumper but is getting it together over hurdles and outclassed rivals under Rob Hargreaves in recent C&D maiden (soft); good ground will suit; has more to offer on handicap debut. |

Failed to shine when tried over hurdles on last five starts; no significant impact last year on the Flat except for first time out but the handicapper is giving him a chance and he's not ruled in new headgear; both wins were in 2021 on heavy going. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |

In decent form when last seen in November, winning a seller at Huntingdon and not beaten far in a better race there subsequently; this looks a competitive race for his return to action but he is not discounted. |

20th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Well held at big prices in three novice hurdles but he rallied for a respectable third behind the two market leaders at Plumpton (2m, good to soft) three weeks ago; this is more realistic on handicap debut and this lightly raced gelding needs a close looks. |

30th Jan 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |

Bettered inauspicious hurdling debut when respectable eighth over C&D (soft) four weeks ago and can probably improve again in due course but has quite a bit to find with the principals here. |

Runner-up over C&D (good) off 2lb higher in February and reverts to hurdling after two respectable chase runs this spring; probably won't be far away but overall strike-rate now stands at 0-18 and others in this line-up appeal more. |

Yet to show any significant promise after six hurdling starts, the last twice in handicaps for current stable (2m3f/2m7f); needs to find a good chunk of improvement from somewhere; 1lb out of the handicap. |

Close third on hurdle debut for Gordon Elliott at Perth (2m4f, good) last summer but this year's form for Seamus Mullins has been very underwhelming; drops back in trip after racing too freely in two handicaps last month (3m1f/3m2f); needs to turn a corner. |
