11st 13lb |
Made all to win novice handicaps at Exeter (2m2f, good) and Ffos Las in April (2m, good); pulled up after early error on chase debut at Ffos Las last time; up 14lb (raised 7lb for each win); could go well but may find others better treated. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Won a Class 3 handicap at Haydock last season off this mark so wouldn't be too dismissive about his chances despite failing to reach anything like the same level in two of his three races this campaign. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
On a handy mark on last winter's form and he was an encouraging fourth of nine over C&D recently on his second start back from a long absence; however, this is a higher grade than he's used to; could be vulnerable. |
33/1 |

4th 1 |
13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Others have less to prove regarding current form but he shaped at Haydock last month as though he may have needed that comeback run; on a competitive mark and he's well suited by testing ground; not discounted. |

2nd Nov 2024 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Displayed promise in bumpers in the 2022-23 season and defied a long absence to win on last month's hurdle debut at Kelso (2m, good); further improvement is needed if he's to win under a penalty today but he's not ruled out. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Course record of 3-8 includes the odd flop, but also two C&D successes, the latest off 1lb lower last August; hasn't offered anything elsewhere since, and much depends on this place inspiring him again. |
12/1 |

3rd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Two wins at Cartmel last summer (3m1f/2m5f, good to soft/good); however, pulled up/well beaten at Ayr and Catterick on his last two starts and a big turnaround is necessary today. |
25/1 |

1st Nov 2025 Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Hit some form at Cartmel in the summer, winning over 3m1f and 2m5f; up 8lb for the last success, which will make things much tougher, especially away from his local course. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Finished alone in a match race on chase debut in October; not beaten far when last of four at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft) in February but ran poorly over that C&D last month and needs a boost from the new cheekpieces. |
8/1 |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Dual course winner over hurdles; finished alone in a match race on seasonal/chase debut in October then wasn't beaten far when last of four over C&D (good to soft) in February; eased in grade today and could still have potential over fences. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |

0-10 and has been off for 14 months since coming in a below-par sixth in 3m Southwell handicap hurdle; not easy to warm to. |

17th Mar 2025 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Launched handicap career with two close seconds at Market Rasen (2m4f, good to soft/heavy) last spring but has not been in the same form on his three outings this season, most recently when upped to 3m in January; needs to up his game. |

6th Feb 2023 Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Closely related to bumper/hurdle winner Mr Grey Sky, half-sister to five winners notably useful pair Lastbutnotleast (bumper/hurdle/chase) and Danny Whizzbang (hurdle/chase); dam bumper/hurdle/chase winner; likely type on breeding and her trainer is 6-15 in bumpers here in last five seasons, including a success in this race 12 months ago; very appealing newcomer. |

18th Nov 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 100y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
0-10; runner-up at Sedgefield (2m4f, soft) in March 2024 but has failed to better that, beaten when falling late on at Hexham (2m) last time; a guessing game as to how he'll fare after wind surgery and 521 days off. |

15th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Placed in similar company at Carlisle (2m3f, good to soft) and Sedgefield (2m4f, soft); less productive on his last two appearances, with plenty of work to do in order to reverse course form with Huit Reflets; this drop back to 2m is certainly worth exploring; 5lb 'wrong'. |
18/1 |

5th 6 |
1st Jun 2024 Heavy 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |

Second to one who went on to complete a four-timer at Sedgefield in March (2m4f, soft); below that back at 2m last time (good, hung left); chance on that Sedgefield form. |

0-5 over hurdles and has sometimes raced a bit too freely but looked suited by switch to patient tactics when third at Sedgefield (2m4f, soft) in March; further progress is possible if forecast faster ground suits here. |
