2nd May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 90y |
11st 12lb |
Decent sort at his best, career-best performance when close second in last season's 2m5f Topham at Aintree; very lightly raced this season, most recently running well for long way in same event before fading from last; type who could go well here if taking to the banks (won only point-to-point). |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 1 |
10st 6lb |
Well below his best on both runs this season, the latest at Leopardstown in December; however, he produced a career-best performance when a close second in this 12 months ago (good to soft), pulling clear with Gentleman De Mee, and the return to Aintree could spark a revival; on the shortlist. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 208y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Better known as a chaser now and ran big race over the big Aintree fences in April (2m5f, good to soft); 1lb lower for this first hurdle run since May 2024 but this different test may not show him in quite the same light. |

2nd Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Won two in a row last June for the O'Neill yard and put up a bold show when close second of six at Doncaster (3m, good to soft; Bugise Seagull third) five weeks ago on second run for this yard; needs extra to win this, though. |

pressed leaders, led after 5th, mistake 4 out, pushed along 3 out, not fluent 2 out, soon ridden, 4 lengths ahead last, always doing enough |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |
10st 6lb |
Made all in Grade 2 mares' hurdle at Ascot (1m7f, soft) in January and ran well for a long way when ninth of 23 in the County Hurdle at Cheltenham (2m1f, soft) last month; she's 1lb lower than when a very close third in this last year (good to soft) and could again be involved. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
10st 4lb |
Can make the running; inconsistent but returned to form with mares' Grade 2 win at Ascot (1m7f, soft) in January; runs off same mark as when close third to Cracking Rhapsody in Scottish Champion Hurdle at Ayr (2m, good to soft) last April; not ruled out each-way at likely big odds. |

2nd Jul 2024 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
2m6f novice hurdle winner for this stable last summer prior to finishing a 21l second back over fences at Fontwell (3m2f, good) in September; needs to improve on a couple of modest efforts in points this year for Hannah Lewis now back under rules over fences and returned to his former stable; likely to prove vulnerable for the win to a less exposed type. |

11th Oct 2023 Good 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Third foal; half-sister to connections' low-grade chase winner Junior Massini; dam placed in points; hooded for this belated debut and seems very unlikely to meet the required standard. |
