13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) at Wetherby (2m, soft) in December and has continued in good form, finishing second on his last two starts (1m7f/2m1f, good to soft); very solid claims. |
4/1 |

Record of 212 since switched back to hurdles from chasing, the win at Wetherby (2m, soft) in first-time cheekpieces; Musselburgh effort (1m7f, good to soft) last time resulted in a career-best RPR; should go well in the retained headgear. |

Both his wins have been over 1m7f at Catterick, the latest off this mark in February 2024 (soft); several fair efforts since, including after a 325-day break last time; each-way chance. |

0-18 over hurdles but has largely been consistent since the spring; made most of the running when third behind Prince Nino over C&D this month and has the same mark today; probably won't be far away. |

Fair on the Flat but yet to make an impact over hurdles; brushed aside fairly easily after leading on final circuit at Plumpton (2m, good; refitted blinkers) this month; will need to show more tenacity here. |

Three French Flat wins and he's 0-30 in Britain, though placed on many occasions; shaped quite well on hurdling debut but twice tailed off since; risky but opening mark of 83 would look lenient if showing his best. |

12st 0lb |
Irish point winner but he's 0-10 over hurdles and has finished tailed off at Perth (2m4f/2m) in last two runs; went close off this mark three runs back but he needs a major revival on this switch to chasing; all runs have been on good or slower. |

Perth regular (form figures 323327); narrowly beaten over 2m4f (soft) here last September but fluffed her lines next time (trainer was unable to offer an explanation); runner-up in this race last year, so no major surprise if she bounces back to form after a 232-day absence. |

5lb out of the weights when romping home on recent stable debut at Hexham (3m, good); now 8lb higher and all wins have been gained at Newcastle or Hexham so still has some convincing to do around a sharp track. |
