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 |
12st 0lb |
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. |

11th Jan 2025 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Useful mare who completed the full jumps set with her commanding performance in Listed novice event at Warwick (2m4f, good to soft; second chase attempt) last month, adding to her point, bumper and hurdle wins; acts on soft; major contender even with 5lb penalty back against males. |

12th Dec 2024 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Ran well in defeat in Graded novice hurdles on final two starts last season (2m4f/3m, soft) and reappeared with respectable third of three against males on chase debut at Carlisle (2m4f, good to soft) in October; the return to a left-handed track could suit and she's one to consider. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Career has had its ups and downs but he won two chases (3m1f and 3m6f) in March 2025 and he's been placed at Stratford (second of five) and Worcester (third of 11) in his last two runs; remains well treated off 10lb lower than his last success and he's in the mix back up in trip. |

3rd 3 |
1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Career has had its ups and downs but he won two chases (3m1f and 3m6f) in March 2025 and ran one of his better races of the year when second of five at Stratford (3m4f, good to firm; blinkers replaced cheekpieces) in May; capable of going well over this lesser test if holding his form. |
7/2 |

2nd 3 |
30th May 2026 Good To Firm 3m 3f 119y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Both wins over fences came in March 2025; his season never took off last term and he arrives here on a career-low mark (11lb below last win); first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces; needs to show more. |

27th Jan 2024 Good 3m 0f 84y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Likely that he failed to give his true running when a remote fourth at Warwick (2m5f, soft) having previously looked good in winning on good ground at Exeter (2m2f); remains a horse of interest and his dam won over this far. |

15th May 2024 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Always behind when switched to fences and fitted with cheekpieces for handicap debut at Exeter (2m1f, good) last month; not bred to benefit from today's hike up in trip and clearly needs to take a big step forward but he represents a respected stable and remains very unexposed. |

Hasn't shown much in a bumper and three hurdles at up to 2m5f; cheekpieces now added to tongue-tie for chase debut; in good hands and on a workable mark but need to see more from him. |

Finished last on bumper debut at Uttoxeter (2m, soft) in March 2022 then absent until Warwick (2m5f, soft) last month, when down the field over hurdles; may be one for further down the line. |
