12th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Strike-rate of 4-9 over hurdles and was third when favourite for last season's 3m Pertemps Final at the Cheltenham Festival; stays 3m but he made a winning return here last season in a 2m3f handicap hurdle, so he's not slow; very much built for chasing. |

13th Apr 2024 Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |
11st 8lb |
Consistent 6yo who was better than ever when winning at Haydock (3m, heavy) in February and ran another cracker when third to Monmiral in the Pertemps Final at Cheltenham (3m, soft; favourite; rallied) the following month; may still have more to offer and is high on the list once more. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 170y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Suffered a couple of heavy defeats after a long absence but then went very close to a first chase win in first-time blinkers at Southwell (3m, soft) last time, with the winner running well since; remains on a competitive mark and is one to consider if the headgear continues to have a positive effect. |

2nd Mar 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Well treated on best chase efforts; has suffered a couple of heavy defeats since returning from sizeable layoff but the fitting of blinkers may prompt a resurgence. |

16th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 6f 50y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Tailed off at Chepstow three weeks ago after an absence and this 9yo needs to prove how much ability he retains; however, he's in top hands and is on a dangerous mark; not discounted with the step back up in trip a plus. |

23rd Nov 2023 Good To Soft 2m 5f 89y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won on rules/hurdle debut here (2m4f, soft) in March and, although beaten under a penalty the next twice (2m4f, soft), those were still respectable runs; this very lightly raced point winner (3m, good to yielding) is open to improvement now over fences on his handicap debut; firmly in calculations. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Completed a hat-trick at around 3m in February/March 2025 but not seen again until refusing to race when a 20-1 shot at Kelso 24 days ago; can only watch after that. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 96y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
In excellent form in February/March 2025, winning three in a row at around 3m (good to soft/good), but has fitness to prove after 393-day absence and will need to hit the ground running to have any chance off current mark. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Creditable second behind well-handicapped rival here (2m, soft) in November and will be fine over today's longer trip but has become far too inconsistent to rely upon, and needs first-time cheekpieces to help him rebound from a poor run over fences a fortnight ago. |
7/1 |

30th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Mixed results over hurdles this term; chase record reads 24FPP; returns to this sphere looking well treated on best form but it's difficult to know what to expect from him. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Proven on deep ground and has run well here over 2m-2m4f; failed to complete on his last three starts (all here) last winter; returns on a handy mark and has won when fresh, so he could be involved if revived. |

9th Apr 2023 Heavy 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Weak in the market (20-1) and could finish only eighth of 12 in bumper at Warwick (good; wore tongue-strap) six weeks ago; far more required now hurdling. |

24th Feb 2023 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

15,000euros half-sister to four winners including Rogue Angel (2m-3m5f jumps, including Irish National), Fire In His Eyes (bumper/2m4f hurdle) and Lime Avenue (bumper/2m5f hurdle); dam unraced sister to useful jumper Caduceus; wears tongue-tie on debut but she needs a close look in market. |

24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 3y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Resumed with victory at Exeter (2m3f) in November and in good form until pulled up in 2m3f handicap chase at Fontwell ten days ago; this course winner is the sort to bounce back in a change of headgear, though. |

14th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Did well for cheekpieces going on last year, winning three times at 2m3f-2m5f, latterly off 3lb lower, and going a stone and a half up the weights; 2m7f looked to find him out at Newbury last month and this is less competitive back down in trip; holds decent claims. |
5/2 |

4th 3 |
17th Feb 2026 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
All good since the cheekpieces went on, winning three times (2m3f-2m5f, good to soft/soft); kept on well for third off today's mark at Exeter (2m3f, good to soft) last month and returning to further looks the right move. |
