5th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 4 |

Inconsistent last season but wasn't beaten too far on his stable debut here before sent over 4m at Hexham; likes the mud so could do with some rain. |

Very inconsistent this season but he ran okay when fifth on his stable debut at Ffos Las (3m, soft) last Monday, in the process shaping as though this marathon trip would be worth exploring; not ruled out. |

Seemingly back in good form when 33-1 second over C&D (heavy; first-time cheekpieces) in January but failed to complete his next two races for Debra Hamer (latest was over hurdles); far too inconsistent to rely upon; headgear left off today on debut for new yard. |

0-5 over fences and 0-24 overall but has posted two pretty good efforts to finish third in a visor this month, latterly at Perth (2m, good to soft) a fortnight ago; major player if judged on that evidence. |

Ex-Irish, longstanding maiden who fared better at Sedgefield last Friday (first-time visor; has worn cheekpieces) despite again not jumping well; this mark should be within range when she puts in a decent round. |

21st Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 7f 150y |
11st 9lb |
2m5f maiden hurdle winner ran well upped to 3m for his handicap chase debut here when third (3m, soft to heavy); built on that to comfortably score at Punchestown (2m7f, soft to heavy) and took advantage of his lower hurdles mark here last time, winning by 4l (2m4f, heavy); he's 10lb higher than his Punchestown win but is towards the top of the shortlist. |

28th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 0y |

Not bred for stamina tests but ran well upped to 3m here on handicap chase debut when a 9l third; comfortably won over fences at Punchestown last month (2m7f, soft to heavy) and now rated 126 in that discipline; 2m5f maiden winner over hurdles and ran respectably only handicap start last year; leading contender in modest contest. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 5f 201y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Fifth in last year's Pertemps Final here as a staying hurdler and also ran well here when he had no answer to Wade Out after the final fence in November (3m1f, soft) on chase debut; readily beat a useful rival in a match at Southwell (3m, good to soft) next time and 2m3f offers an excuse for latest start, so he might be capable of better, which is needed. |

23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 31y Class 3 |

Talented staying hurdler who was a good Listed second on his chase debut at Cheltenham (3m1f, soft) in November, and readily beat a useful rival in a match at Southwell (3m, good to soft) last month; drops back in trip today but there can be optimism he'll cope and he's a leading contender. |

25th Nov 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 1 |
10st 12lb |
Half-brother to very smart Chatham Street Lad; odds-on when unbeaten for Emmet Mullins in a maiden at Cartmel (2m6f, good to soft), novice handicap at Bangor (2m7f, good) and eight-runner handicap at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good to soft); the jockey moved a little more last time but this 5yo has basically been breezing through those races before winning with great authority and even today's 14lb rise might not have his measure. |

First reserve; three-time hurdles winner has been beaten a long way in five chase starts this season, including in novice handicaps the last twice; unseated at the fourth at Wexford last time; 10lb lower mark in this sphere and has won on good ground, so there are positives if returning to form. |
