15th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 210y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Has had three wind operations and tends to go well when fresh, so might not improve markedly on his latest second at Haydock (3m4f, good) after 144 days away; still ran well though and assured stamina will come in handy. |
12/1 |

2nd 6 |
15th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 97y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Has had three wind operations, two of them last year; won four-runner race over C&D (good) when upped in trip last March and ran creditably on next two starts; not disgraced at Ascot in November when last seen; has a good record when returning from a break, so goes on the shortlist. |

24th Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 0y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Won twice (3m/3m4f) during fairly light campaign last season and signed off with creditable second of 14 on New course here (3m4f, good) in April, form that was recently boosted by the winner; had another wind op (his third) during the summer; likely contender. |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Winner at Market Rasen in June (2m5f, good; first-time hood; three ran); hasn't run as well since, having been pulled up at Newbury on latest chase run and then tailed off on the AW; bit to prove. |
9/1 |

5th 1 (5) |
5th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 23y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Fairly useful chaser who is 5-17 in that sphere, but he was a big price on Flat debut at Goodwood (1m6f maiden) two weeks ago and finished a well-held fourth of seven; that wasn't bad after a slow start but this is a daunting task in this Listed event and he has stacks to find on the figures. |

16th Dec 2023 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Current mark reads well next to his peak efforts of 2021-22 but he's often keen, as when a remote third on his switch to fences at Huntingdon (2m4f); bit risky. |
16/1 |
|
3rd 8 |
14th Nov 2023 Good 2m 3f 189y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Unimproved for the application of cheekpieces (retained) when last seen in July, albeit refusing to settle; current mark looks good next to his peak efforts of 2021-22, including at this sort of trip, and smattering of chase winners in pedigree offers hope ahead of this switch to fences. |

27th Sep 2024 Soft 2m 0f 0y |

14-race maiden but some good runs over larger obstacles since joining this yard earlier this year; others probably on better marks though. |
20/1 |
|
4th 7 |
13th Sep 2024 Good 2m 1f 55y |
11st 0lb |
Remains a maiden but has been running well in handicap chases since joining Gordon Elliott, third at Downpatrick and Tramore and sent off favourite when runner-up behind the reopposing Just Jacob last month; 7lb pull in the weights with that rival now. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 4 |
18th Aug 2024 Good 1m 7f 140y |
11st 6lb |
Maiden under all codes but two solid efforts in handicap chases, C&D third in April and only lost second late on over 2m4f at Downpatrick; faded tamely (unbalanced) at latter venue since in beginners' contest; return to handicap company to suit and one to consider. |

24th Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Lightly raced 9yo; ran respectably when third at Wincanton (2m4f, good) last month but was 9l behind Abingworth in that race and he's 2lb out of the weights this time; has some work to do. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Has continued to run well since his Huntingdon win in Februaray (2m4f, soft), last time giving everything in a narrow defeat over C&D; 2lb higher with Tom Hutsby again aboard; should have every chance. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 5 |
9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Off the mark when well clear at Huntingdon (2m4f, soft) in February but paid the handicapping price after; it's been harder since but he was unfortunate to run up against one who relished the new 3m3f test at Stratford (good) in April, although he still ran well; major player in first 3m run. |
4/1 |

2nd 4 |
19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 3f 119y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Got off the mark over fences at Huntingdon (2m4f, soft) in February with first-time visor applied (retained since); in the money in two runs since and now steps up beyond 3m for the first time; holds place claims at least. |

17th Jul 2024 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Still searching for first win (0-15) with form levels having dipped fractionally since finishing runner-up at Stratford (2m2f, good) in May; stays further than this and seems to handle soft ground; outside place claims. |
8/1 |

18th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
0-10 over hurdles but ran big race from the front before succumbing to resurgent rival here (2m2f, good) last month, and his subsequent Newton Abbot sixth was perfectly respectable; one to consider. |
4/1 |
|
6th 5 |
5th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |

Exposed maiden but gave it a good go from the front at Southwell last month (2m2f, good) against a winner who was completing a double and has run well again since; solid candidate. |

29th May 2025 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
0-11 (Flat/jumps); made most when fifth of ten at Kempton (1m4f, AW) last August but pulled up when reported to have made a respiratory noise over fences at Lingfield (2m, soft) in December; best watched on return from 171 days off. |

9th Dec 2024 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Well beaten in three maiden/novice hurdles during 2022-23 season and has not raced over jumps since he was pulled up on chase/handicap debut 13 months ago; can't be recommended on that evidence but has shown some ability on the Flat this year and remains very unexposed over fences. |
