16th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Triple hurdle winner who made it fourth-time lucky over fences when beating two rivals at Chepstow (2m, soft) in March; fell at the 12th at Hereford (2m5f, good) last month but he's was still travelling well at the time and he should have more to offer as a chaser; respected. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
3-13 over hurdles; only his fourth start as a chaser when too strong for two rivals over 2m at Chepstow a month ago (soft; 3lb lower); this quicker ground won't bother him at all and neither might the longer trip; good claims. |

Second of four on chase debut at Stratford (2m1f, good to firm) last July and returned to form when third of six at Kempton (2m2f, good) in October last time; won on heavy ground on the Flat in 2023 but best jumps form has come on good to soft or quicker; in with a chance if conditions suit. |

Was gaining a 12th win (five in claimers) on the Flat when taking Ballinrobe handicap last month in some style under today's rider; two days later folded quite tamely once headed over shorter trip at Naas, that race may have come too soon; veteran respected. |

An 11yo now and has pulled up in two hurdle races and a chase since returning from a lengthy break; what could help is getting away from soft ground, as good seems his preference. |

Point runner-up who is one to watch in the market in first-time blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) on his chase debut; however, this 11yo has been pulled up over hurdles on his last two runs and a major turnaround is needed. |
