11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |
11st 11lb |
Provided yet another example of his yard's prowess in top handicaps when quite comfortably justifying strong market support in the Pertemps at Cheltenham (3m, good) last month, with seven of today's rivals in behind; raised 9lb but could be capable of even better. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
No ground issues; promising late gains when third of 17 on stable debut in the Cheltenham qualifier in October; not so hot since but those runs aren't hard to forgive (the latest was over just 2m4f) and he's now 2lb lower than on that eye-catching reappearance; trainer is a dab hand in these Festival handicaps and this 8yo has been favourite for this race for some time. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 208y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Won for the Newland-Insole stable at Haydock (3m, heavy) last December and signed off for them with a pretty good third at Warwick (3m1f, good) in April; sold for £24,000 since; remains on a career-high mark but had wind surgery during summer break and it will be interesting to see what Dan Skelton can do with him. |

Won off basement mark on the AW in September but was towards rear throughout when making handicap hurdle debut in plating company last month (2m1f); goes beyond 2m4f for first time here. |

29th May 2024 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |

Low-grade Flat winner last summer; respectable second to short-odds favourite on hurdle debut in the autumn but subsequent hurdle/Flat form has been disappointing; makes handicap hurdle debut today. |

15th Jun 2024 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Belied 40-1 odds when placed in Sedgefield novice (2m4f, soft) in the autumn but ran very poorly on last month's handicap debut and is difficult to enthuse over after that performance; cheekpieces refitted. |

14th May 2024 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Didn't achieve much on the Flat for this stable last year but showed some promise in 2m4f maiden/novice hurdles in the autumn; makes handicap debut after six-month absence but could have a say if fully tuned up. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 20y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
Good second at Sandown (1m7f, soft) in January and ran well before fading into 14 third at Ayr (2m4f, soft) last month; however, his best form has come on soft/heavy ground and such conditions seem unlikely today. |

7th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 3 |

Predictably struggled in Grade 1 Ascot Chase three weeks ago but looked as good as ever when second in good Sandown handicap (1m7f, soft) two starts ago and will be fine over today's trip; good chance. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Only had six races and the latest on handicap debut was after an absence of 837 days; shaped well at Carlisle (2m3f, good to soft), finishing 14l off the winner after getting outpaced; should be all the sharper now. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Tended to race too freely and showed only minor promise in three novice hurdles (2m3f-2m4f) towards end of 2023; makes handicap debut after mammoth absence and with a hood (worn on bumper debut) refitted; market helpful. |

19th Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 66y Class 4 |

14th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Made good progress when headgear was added in the autumn, winning three times (2m7f-3m1f, good), but was given a break after disappointing run in January and made a low-key reappearance last month; needs to get back in the groove. |

6th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Headgear helped last autumn, with three wins over further, latterly off a 6lb lower mark; has been off for four months since a poor one in blinkers (goes back to cheekpieces tonight) early in the year and will want a good test over this trip. |
