18th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |
10st 6lb |
Just two starts this season and down the field in the County Hurdle at Cheltenham last month; however, prior to that he was a creditable third of four in the Grade 2 Kingwell Hurdle at Wincanton (1m7f, heavy) and he was a progressive handicapper last term (various ground); not discounted. |

19th 23 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
10st 5lb |
Won a valuable handicap hurdle at Windsor (2m, soft) last winter and probably would have been placed in two others but for falling at the last; showed more than enough to think he retains all of his ability when third of four to Alexei in the Grade 2 Kingwell at Wincanton (1m7f, heavy) on reappearance four weeks ago; entitled to come on for that. |

3rd 4 |
14th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 50y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Overall record of 5-12, including three wins at around 2m over hurdles (good to soft/soft); his last win was at Windsor last January but he fell at the last in a major handicap at Newbury the following month and has been on the sidelines since; has something to prove after a year off and this looks tough on the figures. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Finished fifth with cheekpieces applied at the Cheltenham Festival (2m4f, soft) for another sound effort in the Martin Pipe; broadly consistent; likely to give his running in the retained headgear. |
16/1 |
|
5th 13 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 56y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Hasn't won since November 2024 but he's a broadly consistent sort and posted a cracking effort in this race (good to soft) 12 months ago, beating all bar smart mare Wodhooh who was very well handicapped; only 1lb higher and again has each-way possibilities; wears first-time headgear. |
14/1 |
|
8th 4 |
14th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 63y Class 2 |
11st 8lb |
Acts on soft ground; on a 15-month losing spell but is a consistent sort, creditable fourth to Listentoyourheart at Windsor (2m4f) most recently; again has frame possibilities. |

6th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
From a good Flat family; positives to take from both his runs and did well to finish second at Taunton (good to soft) given how keenly he raced; must have a chance. |

2nd 11 |
20th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
From a good Flat family and shaped with significant promise when third over C&D (good) on debut 18 days ago; has a fighting chance if able to build on that performance today. |
12/1 |

7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 42y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Won four times over hurdles; little promise on his first three attempts at chasing but there was much more encouragement in a never-nearer third of ten at Newbury (2m7f, heavy) four weeks ago; has been dropped 10lb in the weights since his chasing debut and drying ground should not inconvenience him in the slightest; could be ready to strike. |

7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |

A winner over hurdles at up to 3m but yet to get anything going over fences (0-3) and this is a tough race in which to put that right. |

23rd Nov 2023 Soft 1m 7f 50y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Bought for £170,000 after comfortably making all in an Irish point (yielding); free to post and during the race when a remote fifth in a bumper at Taunton in March; now hooded and has had wind surgery; entitled to do better. |

Minor form in bumpers and now clearly flattered by his debut effort at Ascot when under 9l off the winner; others preferred. |

Half-brother to useful jumpers Jepeck and Western Jo; not beaten far when 11th of 12 at Ascot (good) in October but never really looked likely to land a telling blow there. |

11st 7lb |
Safely held when 25-1 for handicap debut at Ffos Las (2m, good to soft) just over a year ago and not seen again since but remains very unexposed and is well worth keeping an eye on in the betting; tongue-tie added. |
