Career peak was in October 2023 on first start for Gavin Cromwell and he was well beaten when runner-up over fences last April and June; unraced beyond 2m4f under rules and now wears a hood for the first time; back with John McConnell, with whom he started his career. |

Ran well over 2m4f here in October but this is a stiffer assignment and she has shown no further progress, well-held third to notable stablemate at Navan (Listed) most recently; sole win over hurdles came in an ordinary race last summer; others preferred. |

11th Jul 2025 Good 3m 0f 0y |
11st 6lb |
Took a step back in the right direction when runner-up in four-runner race at Wexford in May, although was beaten 11l; needs either a career best or a couple of these to underperform to be in the mix; first-time cheekpieces could help. |

28th May 2025 Good To Firm 3m 0f 0y |
11st 10lb |
2-12 over hurdles, also a bumper and chase winner; best hurdles form represented by his defeat of the smart Run For Oscar over 3m at Down Royal last August; third on handicap debut at Clonmel before a winter break; big price when down the field in a Punchestown festival handicap; should be sharper now. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Made a good start over fences for new connections, winning at Carlisle (2m, good) in October and second in a Grade 2 novice at Ascot (2m3f, soft); mistakes crept in when below that level twice since and he now reverts to hurdling; sixth of 17 in this last year off an identical mark. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Made a good start over fences for new connections, winning at Carlisle (2m, good) in October and finishing second in a Grade 2 novice at Ascot (2m3f, soft); let down by his jumping in competitive handicap at Cheltenham last time but he's in shallower waters here and should be thereabouts. |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 2 |

Record of 122 switched to fences this term for new yard and the form has received a few boosts; ran well on the figures, albeit no match for winner, in Grade 2 at Ascot (2m3f, soft) most recently; brings solid claims back to handicap level. |

Record of 3-6 over rules fences features a Class 2 handicap win at Kelso (2m5f); faller in the Premier Chase there (2m7f) last time; may still have further progress in her; possibilities. |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 7f 176y Class 1 |
11st 8lb |
Made a bad mistake on penultimate outing but he won starts either side and latest was the 4m2f Midlands National at Uttoxeter (soft) in which he was always prominent and asserted by 8l on run-in, with Git Maker in third; up 7lb but his only attempt at a marathon trip brought a clear career best. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 8y Class 1 |
11st 8lb |
Beat none other than Haiti Couleurs over hurdles; their respective careers have headed in very different directions and this 8yo is only 1-7 over fences, the win coming in a small field at Exeter two runs back (3m, heavy); since then he lost his position after a bad mistake at Wincanton (3m2f); may yet have more to offer over an extreme distance such as this but he certainly needs it. |

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 |

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. |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 7f 176y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Unraced beyond 3m2f but should stay further than that; 15l winner of a major 3m handicap at Kempton last February but he's found his revised mark a bit too tough since (close second to Herakles Westwood at Cheltenham on New Year's Day) and is still 10lb higher today; others are a bit more persuasive. |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 1 |
10st 13lb |
Always wears a tongue-tie; on a sharp upward curve when taking this 12 months ago by some 15l (on good to soft); makes his defence off an 11lb higher mark but on the back of a return to form at Cheltenham (in cheekpieces; wore a visor in this last year); course form here always ticks a big box and can run well again. |

11th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
10st 13lb |
Won in January in his first two chases (3m/3m2f, soft/heavy) then lacked fluency over his fences when second at Wincanton (3m2f, good to soft); bar one small blip he jumped much better at Kempton (3m, good to soft) 17 days ago when romping home in the Ladbrokes Trophy; hit with 12lb rise but that may not stop this highly progressive 7yo, who was very impressive last time. |

12st 0lb |
Close second at Doncaster (2m3f, good to soft) in November and bounced back from Ascot blip when third at Carlisle (2m, good to soft) recently, albeit soundly beaten by the first two; the step back up in trip might help and he's a possible player if conditions suit; unproven on soft ground. |

16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 207y Class 3 |

Unproven on soft ground and tailed off at Ascot last time, although that was in a hot Class 2; went close in Class 3 at Doncaster (2m3f, good to soft) two starts ago and not ruled out now back down in grade. |
