25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 178y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Seen only twice this season but posted career-best performance when close third of 22 at Aintree (2m4f, good to soft) a fortnight ago, despite Tom Bellamy's saddle slipping after the last; respected. |

3rd 1 |
10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
12st 0lb |
Acts on any going; successful in major handicap at Ayr two years ago; his two attempts at Aintree were good efforts in the 2023 Formby (second to highly notable rival) and this race last year (finished third); each-way claims back here with Kempton reappearance under his belt. |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 3 |
12st 2lb |
Won the Scottish Champion Hurdle (2m, soft) in April 2024 and showed he stays 2m4f when a good third of 20 at Aintree last spring; not ruled out but he'll need a career best to defy topweight after 11 months off. |

19th Aug 2024 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
1-3 over hurdles last season but has yet to make an impact in handicaps after three starts, albeit she didn't enjoy a clear passage at Ludlow latest; down another 2lb and easy to make a case for on the pick of her hurdles form; interesting on chase debut. |
8/1 |

12th May 2024 Good 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won at Warwick in October before chasing home the very classy Favour And Fortune at Hereford (2m, good), after which she didn't appear to stay 2m3f; back over 2m for handicap debut after a break at Huntingdon last month, she only lost out on the places on the run-in; might well strip fitter for that; respected. |

16th May 2025 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Launched chasing career with two wins in the autumn (2m/2m3f. good to soft/good) and generally remained in good form until end of last season; looked a non-stayer over 2m7f on latest outing and now drops back in trip with usual cheekpieces refitted; recent 3lb drop gives him a decent chance. |

21st Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 86y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Has done well since switched to this discipline (winning twice) and his blowouts have come in strong races, latterly in the 2m4f Greatwood Gold Cup here three weeks ago; more exposed than some in here and he's unraced past 2m5f, but can be competitive off this mark. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Has rather mixed record over fences this season but belied 40-1 odds when close third in valuable Windsor handicap (2m4f, soft) won by Bluey in January and last month's Cheltenham Festival defeat is easily excused; on good mark if on her mettle. |
9/1 |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Five-time hurdle winner who has shown some promise over fences this season but she was only fourth of six in a Listed mares' chase at Huntingdon last month and has bundles to find in today's company. |
100/1 |

5th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 189y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Five wins over hurdles; 0-4 since switched to fences but ran well off a handy mark in Windsor handicap (2m4f, soft) most recently; however, at the weights she has about a stone to find with the pick on ratings in this field. |

Back to near best on first start for this stable when runner-up at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) with the hood back on; remains well treated on past form after 3lb rise and holds strong claims if able to repeat the effort. |

Surprise winner of C&D novice (heavy; 25-1) in November but he hasn't gone on from that in four runs since including three handicaps; had tough task from out the weights at Haydock last time but he needs to find more back at this track. |

Half-brother to smart jumper Keeper Hill and useful hurdler Dargiannini (runs in 3.00) but well beaten when 25-1 for recent bumper debut at Hereford. |

24th Oct 2023 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |

Debutant; bought for 80,000euros as a 3yo; half-brother to three winners, including smart bumper/hurdler/chaser Keeper Hill; interesting but rather offputting that he's already undergone wind surgery and sports a tongue-strap on debut; still worth a look in the betting. |
