7th Mar 2026 Soft 1m 7f 216y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
Ran okay when seventh in this last year and he reappeared with a win at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good to soft) in October; however, his subsequent form has been mixed (fences/hurdles) and Top Jimmy looks the yard's chief hope. |
33/1 |

7th 4 |
12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 104y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Made a winning reappearance in Newton Abbot handicap hurdle (2m1f, good to soft) in October; switched to fences subsequently, matching his peak RPR over timber when fourth in 2m3f Exeter novice handicap (good to soft) five weeks ago; won his previous outing on heavy. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 0f 54y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Two wins during his novice campaign included a handicap (2m, soft); 0-5 last season but ran well at the weights behind Constitution Hill at Cheltenham in January and comfortably regained the winning thread on his reappearance at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good to soft) three weeks ago; up 4lb but he's bred for fences and looks a player on debut in this sphere. |

2nd May 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 104y |
10st 2lb |
Last win came in 3m Kempton handicap in Christmas of 2024; third to Bill Baxter in this race last year but not at best this season, chasing home a clear winner at Ludlow last time (only two finishers); 7lb lower than last year so don't rule out. |
14/1 |

2nd 6 |
30th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Appeared to get his campaign back on track when third over hurdles at Musselburgh (3m, good to soft) and, when a 10l fifth over C&D since, he was softened up by getting competitive a good way out; he doesn't have a convincing profile but his pure ability is respected. |
7/1 |

26th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 3 |
12st 1lb |
Out of form over fences this season but turned things around with creditable third over hurdles at Musselburgh (3m good to soft) last month and it will be interesting to see whether he can build on that performance on this return to chasing. |

19th Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Last win was over 2m3f here in May of last year off 6lb higher; not quite hit the same heights this year and has been finishing his races rather tamely. |

6th Jun 2025 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Not really firing on all cylinders since returning from a break in the autumn and has developed a tendency to finish rather weakly but comes here after two respectable 2m4f thirds this spring (cheekpieces added last time) and continues to edge down the weights. |
3/1 |

13th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Dual chase winner who was ridden much closer to the pace than is often the case when very respectable third behind Abingworth at Warwick (2m4f, good) last month; remains on a workable mark and features prominently in calculations; cheekpieces (tried once in early 2024) refitted. |

8th Oct 2024 Good 2m 3f 137y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Flat bred; built on a promising debut when winning a fair Kempton bumper in February 2023 but has not been sighted since; goes up in trip on hurdle debut but probably best watched returning from such a long absence, unless strong in the market; has been gelded. |
8/1 |

in touch with leaders, pushed along over 3f out, ridden over 2f out, steady headway from over 1f out, made strong challenge inside final furlong, led but hard pressed final 110yds, kept on strongly, just prevailed |

23rd Apr 2024 Good To Soft 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Struggled to cope with heavy ground when upped to 2m5f for recent handicap debut but was placed in a 2m novice on good to soft in the autumn and remains unexposed; swaps cheekpieces for blinkers here. |

25th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 5f 137y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Bought for 155,000gns after winning Irish maiden point (3m) in May 2022; his rules form has been patchy but he was a fair third in a Lingfield novice hurdle (2m, good to soft) last November and is open to improvement now up in trip in first-time cheekpieces on handicap debut; watch the betting. |

12th Nov 2024 Good 2m 5f 163y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Showed her first piece of worthwhile form for a while when fourth at Huntingdon (near 2m4f, good) last month, albeit beaten 20l; failed to build on that when soundly beaten behind Karakoram 19 days ago; 6lb out of the handicap and difficult to recommend. |

10st 5lb |
This month's Huntingdon fourth (2m4f, good) broke a sequence of non-completions; shaped there as if ready for this longer trip now, though that's not wholly backed up by the pedigree (two point winners aside). |

17th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 2m 2f 110y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Began career with two very disappointing runs (bumper/hurdle) but, following a wind op, fared considerably better when third at Ffos Las (2m, good) last month; that form already makes him a leading contender here, and he has plenty of scope for further progress. |
15/8 |

8th Jun 2023 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |

Disappointing favourite in bumper and pulled up in juvenile hurdle; however, had wind surgery since last run and now goes in tongue-tie; those factors may prompt a much better effort. |

21st Mar 2023 Soft 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |

French-bred; sent off 2-1 favourite for Fontwell bumper in January but disappointed, finishing only eighth of 14, beaten 53l; stable in good form; should do better on hurdles debut. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 210y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Novice chaser who has several pieces of sound form at up to 2m4f this season, including a second at Aintree; however, below that level in major handicaps in two of his last three starts, seeming a non-stayer at Doncaster (soft) in the sole 3m attempt; stamina to prove back up in trip. |
16/1 |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 187y Class 1 |
10st 12lb |
Fairly useful novice chaser who scored easily at Doncaster in November and has performed creditably off current mark twice since, albeit failed to justify favouritism when sent up to Newcastle (2m4f) last time; goes into deeper waters at this level. |
11/1 |
|
2nd 5 |
21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 19y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Always ridden by Jamie Neild; walked over on his second chase assignment and easily made all in four-runner handicap at Doncaster (2m3f, soft) in November; another big run from the front when second of five at Aintree (2m4f) next time, before his first attempt at 3m did not work out in a Grade 3 handicap four weeks ago; he should be of renewed interest back at 2m4f. |
4/1 |
Verdict
Six-figure purchase ROYAL DEFENDER could well improve on his Chepstow effort and take advantage of the 7lb he receives from Spirits Bay, who commands respect all the same and is a leading form contender as things stand. Killarney Mountain has clear place possibilities on bare figures, while a couple of the others are open to improvement. The two newcomers need a market check.[Steve Boow]
