13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
Did not fulfill his potential over hurdles for Nicky Henderson but, following a layoff, positives can be drawn from both chase runs for new stable this season; ran well until weakening into third here (2m7f, good to soft) in December and should benefit from this drop back in trip. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Impressed on hurdling debut for Nicky Henderson in November 2023 but completed only one of three subsequent hurdling starts, when fifth of eight in Kempton handicap (2m, good to soft) in December; changed hands for £22,000 in May and it's hard to know what to expect from him on stable/chase debut. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 4 |

0-9 over hurdles and has the stronger form over fences but is accordingly handicapped and didn't run badly back over hurdles last month, where lack of a recent run told late; could be involved with that outing behind him. |

0-4 over fences but placed off 4lb higher in first-time cheekpieces at Southwell (2m4f, good) last autumn; probably needed the run this month when returning from a layoff and he looks interesting both over this new trip and with that outing behind him. |

26th Nov 2024 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |

1-1 in bumpers, but his hurdles form rather regressed after returning a year ago; has finished third of five in both starts over fences and may have needed the run after six months off at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) 20 days ago; the step back up in trip may suit and he's not dismissed. |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
7-1 when early faller at the Chair in this last year; this 7yo was an eye-catching third at Ludlow in February on penultimate start, having been hampered, but needs to step up on this season's handicap form if he's to threaten. |
20/1 |

3rd 2 |
20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Returned to form when finishing third at Ludlow (2m4f, soft) recently, when back up in trip on his third start for this yard; he came clear with two progressive opponents last time, despite being hampered in the back straight, and could have a big part to play today. |
5/2 |

4th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 3 |

Won a hunter chase under former owner David Maxwell in March; sold for £90,000 in October; his quiet stable debut was at Cheltenham and he showed more at Newbury when about 11l off the winner (2m); returning to slower ground over further could be beneficial; respected. |

Point winner; didn't hang about over hurdles and has run well in all three chases over 2m4f, including here; finished his final race out strongly and stepping up to 3m should be just the ticket. |

Won Northern Irish point; lightly raced under rules; encouraging third on chasing/handicap debut at Warwick (2m4f, good) in May and produced a similar performance when third at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last month; has each-way claims at least. |

Yet to fire over fences but his best hurdle efforts would make him of interest off his reduced mark; better ground could help, as could blinkers, and he's one to watch in the market. |

23rd Feb 2025 Soft 2m 5f 135y Class 5 |

Soundly beaten in the autumn on his two chase starts but didn't run badly when fourth of six at Wincanton last time in a race that has worked out well; this lightly raced 7yo is on a handy mark on last season's best hurdle form and today's race may not take much winning; interesting. |
