26th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
His form during the opening half of last season included a Kempton win (on good) and a pretty good effort at Cheltenham, both over 3m; this year's two runs were nothing like so good but the ability is there. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 5y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Below par last time at Ascot but Kempton win in November was off only 4lb lower and then ran fairly well at Cheltenham; if back to that level of form then he wouldn't be far away. |

29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 146y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
4-17 over hurdles, the latest win when 80-1 under Freddie Mitchell at Kempton (3m, good) in November on second start for this stable; respectable seventh of ten when 40-1 at Cheltenham (3m) in December last time but his old, markedly better form may now be out of reach. |

12st 0lb |
Winning Irish pointer; off the mark on 11th hurdle start on return to this trip to win a novice handicap at Uttoxeter last time (good); tongue-tie and blinkers were back on that day and he wears them again here; 5lb higher, but a possible. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 3m 1f 10y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Only 3lb higher than for her narrow C&D win on good ground in March and was odds-on favourite for her return to fences 18 days ago only to depart mid-race; she's probably the one to beat; usual cheekpieces are replaced by an eyeshield. |

7th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Three-time chase winner (once over C&D); lost her way over fences during the winter but battled well for narrow hurdle win here (3m1f, good; front pair well clear) in March and reverts to this code on a good mark. |
5/4 |

18th Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Three front-running chase wins in 2024, including over about 3m here; second of five at Ludlow in October but her chase form has gone to pot; latest hurdle performance (four starts back) gives her a place chance. |

22nd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 2f 208y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Won two soft-ground chases (both 2m3f) in early 2025 and has posted some good efforts in defeat this season; looked laboured and was below form here (2m, soft) last month but can be dangerous off current mark if back on song in first-time cheekpieces. |

26th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 8y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won three times last season on soft/heavy ground; runner-up on first three starts this term then fifth at Exeter (2m1f, good to soft) 17 days ago when three places behind Royal Mer; today's forecast slow ground could aid her cause. |

22nd Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Three-time hurdle winner who kept on well to make winning chase debut at Exeter (2m1f, soft) last month; pulled up at Wincanton since, having made made jumping errors at consecutive fences, but still has scope to for further progress in this sphere. |

Better of two hurdling efforts when fourth at Ffos Las in February; evidently not one of the stable stars but might have prospects if maintaining the progress shown on that latest start. |

6th Apr 2023 Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |

Too green to do himself justice in a bumper last December but kept on to finish fourth; interesting to note any confidence behind him now tackling hurdles over a longer trip. |
