11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |
11st 11lb |
Provided yet another example of his yard's prowess in top handicaps when quite comfortably justifying strong market support in the Pertemps at Cheltenham (3m, good) last month, with seven of today's rivals in behind; raised 9lb but could be capable of even better. |
4/1 |

1st 7 |
12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
No ground issues; promising late gains when third of 17 on stable debut in the Cheltenham qualifier in October; not so hot since but those runs aren't hard to forgive (the latest was over just 2m4f) and he's now 2lb lower than on that eye-catching reappearance; trainer is a dab hand in these Festival handicaps and this 8yo has been favourite for this race for some time. |

3rd 4 |
25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 208y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Won for the Newland-Insole stable at Haydock (3m, heavy) last December and signed off for them with a pretty good third at Warwick (3m1f, good) in April; sold for £24,000 since; remains on a career-high mark but had wind surgery during summer break and it will be interesting to see what Dan Skelton can do with him. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 20y Class 2 |
10st 5lb |
Disappointing on his last few starts and a major turnaround is necessary; however, he's dropped to a dangerous mark and his trainer has an excellent strike-rate at Perth; no surprise if he bounces back. |
15/2 |

4th 4 |
1st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 189y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Comes with a caution label, having failed to complete the last twice; however, reasonably consistent otherwise so a good effort can't be ruled out; on a workable mark and drops back to 2m4f for the first time this term; has gained all jumps wins at about this trip. |
11/2 |

16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Promising fourth on reappearance here (3m2f, good to soft) in November and now 4lb lower; however, soundly beaten in Becher Chase next time and pulled up at Windsor (2m6f, soft) recently; has to get back on track. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 146y Class 1 |
12st 0lb |
Won this race (good ground) last year in first-time cheekpieces off a 10lb lower mark; first and second in two small fields this season, alongside two heavy defeats in top handicaps; tried blinkers when fading right out of it at the Cheltenham Festival last time and now reverts to cheekpieces; also back on firmer ground but a new career best is needed. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Won the bet365 Gold Cup at Sandown (extended 3m4f, good) last April in first-time cheekpieces and returned to form when second at Windsor (2m6f, soft) in January; his jumping can sometimes lack fluency but, with first-time blinkers replacing the cheekpieces, he has an each-way chance if minimising the mistakes; fourth of 18 in the NH Chase here (3m6f, good to soft) last March. |
16/1 |

2nd 3 |
18th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 6f 50y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Won the bet365 Gold Cup at Sandown (3m4f, good) last April and reappeared with Listed Intermediate win at Carlisle (2m4f, good to soft); also effective on soft ground; however, soundly beaten in the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury (3m2f, good to soft) last time and has something to find today. |

22nd Apr 2024 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Eight-race maiden who has finished down the field in her four handicaps and was tailed off at Plumpton (3m1f) last time; may have had stamina issues in that race but things haven't clicked for her yet and she needs improvement back in trip. |

26th Feb 2024 Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Best run yet in handicaps when about a 10l fourth at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) but he did weaken late on and now goes up in distance; dangerous to underestimate his trainer's thinking but stamina has to be doubted. |

Pulled up when tried in today's headgear combination over 3m in June and has now been unplaced all seven starts under rules; drops back in trip here; cannot be recommended. |

3rd Jun 2025 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Well beaten over fences in his first two handicaps (3m1f/2m5f); fitted with first-time tongue-tie/blinkers for this handicap hurdle debut; huge improvement required. |
