13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Lurks on dangerous mark and is very well suited by slow ground but did not achieve a great deal when remote second in four-runner race at Hereford (2m5f, soft) last month and has not run to form since December 2024. |

26th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 194y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Mixes hurdling and chasing but yet to win in this sphere; has dropped to a career-low mark but has his work cut out against more progressive rivals. |

26th Feb 2025 Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Pulled up over fences on two of his last three starts, jumping poorly most recently; however, in between he was a good second in a chase at Ffos Las (2m5f, heavy) and he's been effective at 3m and over hurdles in the past; no surprise to see a big performance now back over hurdles. |

No impact in bumpers and same story in two novice hurdles this spring, most recently when seventh of eight at Carlisle (2m3f, good to soft); has good pedigree and it's still early days but handicaps look the way forward after this. |

10st 7lb |
Best form when 5l second over 2m7f here in June (good) when last seen; should go well despite running over a shorter trip. |

31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Only win in 17 runs over hurdles was at Carlisle in November 2024 (3m, good to soft); back on the same mark and two good runs over C&D on last two starts so could go well. |
7/1 |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Sole win from a similar mark at Carlisle (3m) in November 2024; runner-up over C&D latest, one of many solid efforts at this track (22242P2); still in front - looking the likeliest winner - in void race over C&D two-years ago; entitled to respect. |
5/1 |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Only previous win was over 3m but off this mark; stopped the rot when beaten 5l in first-time cheekpieces at Wetherby and he's effective at this trip. |
