13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
One-time Formby Hurdle third who didn't kick on switched to fences; forfeited all chance at the start in a debuted hood (discarded) on sole sighting since December 2024, and present ability level conjectural. |

Hasn't appeared to fancy fences this season but he was a good novice hurdler last campaign and a revival would come as no surprise now back in this discipline; cheekpieces may also assist. |

24th Nov 2024 Good To Soft 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Won 2m4f novice at Sedgefield (good to soft) after Christmas and fair efforts in defeat in the spring; however he didn't run much of a race on his handicap debut at Warwick (2m5f, good) so no strong case this time. |
9/1 |

Won Sedgefield novice (2m4f, good to soft) on Boxing Day and probably bettered that form when placed on final two starts last season; makes handicap debut after a break but further progress is possible. |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 7f 176y Class 1 |
11st 12lb |
Won two small-field handicaps at Kelso (soft/heavy) over the extended 2m7f, easily on penultimate start (made most) despite the odd jumping indiscretion; wore cheekpieces that day and again when an excellent second of 17, coming from out the back, in the NH Chase at Cheltenham (3m6f, good to soft); his jumping can be a bit sticky but he's a prime candidate for 4m. |
11/2 |

2nd 3 |
10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 5f 201y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Twice successful in small-field handicaps at Kelso (soft/heavy) over the extended 2m7f, easily on latest start (made most) despite the odd jumping indiscretion; wore first-time cheekpieces that day, in response to his Windsor run (3m, soft) in which he got going a good deal later even than the winner Guard The Moon; up 10lb since last time but he now looks a prime candidate for serious stamina tests such as this if his jumping holds up. |
12/1 |

1st 6 |
13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 96y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Won over C&D (soft) in December on second chase start; got detached before keeping on for fourth of five, beaten just over 5l, at Windsor (3m, soft) four weeks ago; this lightly raced 7yo might be just the type to benefit from the cheekpieces and he retains potential for his good yard. |

Showed promise on his bumper debut last August, but regressive since and finished a long way behind a couple of these at Lingfield (1m4f, Polytrack) last month; look elsewhere. |

Well related, being a brother to Group 2 Yorkshire Cup winner Dartmouth among others; didn't build on a fair bumper debut last time, thanks to pulling hard on soft ground, and retains some potential switched to the Flat. |

31st Jan 2025 Soft 1m 7f 145y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Maiden who showed patchy form over hurdles and was well beaten last time, but he was a good second at Ludlow (2m, good to soft) two starts ago in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) and his trainer's horses often make better chasers; this 6yo is not ruled out. |

Nine-race maiden who ran well in first-time cheekpieces at Ludlow most recently, finishing 1l second to El Vigaro; may build on that effort; possibilities in the retained headgear. |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Bits of promise before he won a seven-runner novice contest at Bangor (2m, good) six weeks ago in his fourth handicap, in clearcut style despite interference and being 4lb out of the handicap proper; had wind surgery one week later; up 7lb today but the chief concern is that he was soundly beaten in all five starts on softer than good. |

6th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 5 |

Shaped well before fading into fifth in two Market Rasen handicaps (both 2m4f, good) last summer and may not have been suited by the soft ground when a disappointing favourite at Sedgefield in January; returns from another break and is 4lb wrong today but still considered. |

Showed nothing more than minor promise in her three qualifying races (all 2m) but is open to improvement in handicaps and her pedigree suggests today's step up in trip will suit. |
