20th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Good bumper form (three wins, including Listed) and a novice hurdle winner (all on good); nowhere near that level in two handicaps for current yard and cheekpieces are now turned to; the prospect of softening ground is a further concern. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |

Lightly raced since Listed bumper win in February 2023; ran as though something was amiss when upped to 2m4f for handicap debut in August but battled well for narrow success in Worcester maiden hurdle (2m, good) two starts ago and remains open to further improvement if back on song here. |

Won Listed bumper in February 2023 and returned from very long absence with 19l second on hurdle debut here (2m, good) in May; won 2m maiden hurdle here (good) last month and has potential off his opening mark; player. |

12th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Flat-bred gelding who hasn't convinced on two previous attempts at 3m, the latest a Grade 1 novice at Kempton in December; however, he rallied for third at Cheltenham (nearly 2m5f, soft) in January and kept on well when filling the same position in the Plate at the Festival (extended 2m4f, good to soft); worth another go at this trip and could have a part to play. |

Found immediate improvement for the switch to fences when winning on chase debut at Newbury (2m4f, good) in November; useful, persevering efforts in two good 2m4f races since, on that track and when third to Jagwar in a well-contested C&D handicap, and a truly run race kept to this trip will suit; has win possibilities if fitting cheekpieces brisks him up. |

Came good over hurdles in low-grade Southwell handicap (2m, good) in June and has remained in good nick since (2m-2m5f) but others in this line-up have stronger form and/or more potential. |

Southwell winner in June (2m, good) but was no match for Parikarma next time and again wasn't at his best when a beaten favourite at Perth; cheekpieces are replaced by a hood that hasn't done wonders for him previously; stamina to prove over this far. |

21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Came good over fences with small-field win at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) in February but was not in the same form on his latest outing and ran poorly the only previous time he wore cheekpieces; others look safer. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Dual bumper and hurdle winner; mixed results in his first three runs over fences but he really got his act together when justifying favouritism at Bangor (2m5f, soft) last month; that was a four-runner race but he forged clear in the closing stages and a 6lb rise looks fair; shortlisted. |
9/4 |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Useful bumper horse and hurdler but has always struggled with consistency, a pattern that's threatening to continue over fences; however, if in the same form as when second to a sharp improver at Southwell two runs back (2m4f, good to soft; fine on soft) he'd have every chance. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Placed off 1lb lower at Wincanton (2m4f, soft) in January and is also suited by faster ground but weakened tamely on latest outing and has basically become a shade disappointing; sports first-time cheekpieces. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 181y Class 4 |

Won twice in his novice season (2m/2m3f, good to soft/good); yet to win a handicap but fair third at Wincanton last time (2m4f, soft); suited by drier ground. |

Won twice for Tom Ellis (2m1f/2m) towards end of last year but suffered 28l defeats on both starts for new stable in February/March (2m/2m4f) and returns from six-month break with quite a bit to prove. |

Eventually lost his form over hurdles last season, and following a revival over fences at Exeter (2m1f) in December, he was pulled up (bled) at Kempton on Boxing Day; something to prove. |

11st 11lb |
After a brief stint over fences he got back on track in beating 14 rivals over 3m at Windsor (soft) under a positive ride; however, there was a further reminder of his inconsistency when he dropped away tamely at Haydock in February; what does heighten interest is a pretty good record when fresh. |

14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |

Back to form with a bang returned to hurdles when fending off Doughmore Bay in a valuable 3m handicap at Windsor (soft) 27 days ago; allowed to bowl along at the head of affairs in that contest and there's possible competition for the lead from the likes of Red Dirt Road, Stone's Throw and Stay Away Fay here; still no surprise were he to progress again, though. |

18th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Two chase efforts this season leave a doubt over his current form; disappointing in last hurdles attempt so there are enough reasons to oppose him in this competitive race. |

Fairly useful in bumpers in 2022 but off 718 days before pulling up at Lingfield (2m3f, soft; 33-1) on hurdle debut last month; entitled to have improved for that and likely to make his mark over hurdles at some point given his bumper ability but probably best watched at present; tongue-tie added. |
