3rd 7 |
10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 210y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Can take a while to warm up but he impressed when slamming Doyen Quest in December Grade 2 at Sandown (good to soft) and again dispatched that rival at Windsor (also about 3m, soft; first-time cheekpieces) the following month; 25-1 but ran a scorcher, despite little going right, when flying from the rear to grab third in the Grade 1 Brown Advisory (3m1f) at Cheltenham last month; there's potential for a good gallop here, which will suit, and he holds leading claims. |

3rd 12 |
11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Dual Grade 2 winner at about 3m over fences, at Sandown (good to soft) and Windsor (soft) in December/January; jumping again not fluent last time, despite added cheekpieces (retained), and he has his work cut out in this. |

1st 1 |
18th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 60y Class 1 |
11st 9lb |
Very useful over hurdles and comfortably bagged Grade 2 honours at Sandown (3m, good to soft) on second attempt over fences; ran creditably, despite the ground possibly being faster than ideal, in Grade 1 at Kempton since; leading player, provided he takes to first-time headgear. |

2nd 4 |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Scored with a tongue-tie added at Plumpton (2m4f, good to soft) last month and he ran to a similar level when a 2l third at Wincanton (2m4f, good) last time; has been as good as ever in those last two runs and he won this race last year; respected. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 8 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 179y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Back in prime form when scoring in first-time tongue-tie at Plumpton (2m4f, good to soft; front pair clear) a fortnight ago and now 4-10 over hurdles; recent 4lb rise does not look excessive and he should be fine on the faster ground here; likely contender. |
4/1 |

1st 2 |
9th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Pulled up on seasonal debut but fared better when fourth (albeit tired and well held in the end) at Wincanton (2m4f, soft) in January and is now only 1lb higher than for last spring's Fontwell win (2m5f, good); contender if aided by new tongue-tie. |

29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 172y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Only three runs over fences but already a better chaser than hurdler; well on top to win at Wincanton in November (1m7f, good; 5lb lower) and the softer surface at Ludlow (good to soft) was a feasible excuse next time; absent since December but likely to go well. |
4/1 |

2nd 3 |
18th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Returned from one-year absence with low-key run in 2m4f maiden hurdle last month (raced too freely) and is now 0-7 in that sphere; entitled to have benefited from that outing but needs this switch to chasing to enable improvement. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Looked as good as ever when winning readily by 7l at favourite track Taunton (2m3f, good) three weeks ago and is now 3-19 over hurdles; 7lb higher here but still respected in current mood. |

1st 8 |
22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Landed a 'hands and heels' event over C&D in March and respectable efforts in two subsequent starts, latterly when second off this mark at Exeter (about 2m2f, also good; Green Sky tailed off) on Friday; on the premises again if this doesn't come too soon. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 7 |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 111y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Multiple Flat winner at up to 1m6f and dual hurdles winner at up to 2m3f; goes well on a sound surface; 6lb higher than when scoring at Taunton on his penultimate start; beaten more than 9l when unpenalised at Plumpton latest, but should be competitive. |

10th Apr 2025 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Made a winning handicap debut at Taunton (about 2m3f, soft) 13 months ago but the wheels have come off on a variety of ground since, pulled up in four of those five starts and tailed off in the other; blinkers (one sibling wore them for her two wins) are now given a go, replacing recent cheekpieces. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
2-5 for new stable this year; gained the wins on heavy and good to soft ground but coped perfectly well with good ground when close third at Kelso (2m5f; first-time tongue-tie) last month; hood (worn for three of her last four races) is discarded; likely contender again. |
9/4 |

3rd 8 |
2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |

Won when the hood went back on at Newcastle (2m4f, heavy) in January and followed up at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft); disappointing at Carlisle (2m3f, soft) last time but she was missing the hood, which returns today along with a first-time tongue-tie; could have a part to play. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |

Longstanding maiden who didn't run badly on first two starts back from a mammoth absence; out of the weights but not hard to see him hitting the frame in a weak contest, if bouncing back from a poor effort last time. |

Ordinary nine-race maiden (at 7f-1m) on Flat for Andrew Balding; sold for £7,000 since last run; has a stamina doubt, at least outside of sharp scenarios, now hurdling. |

Yet to really do it in handicaps and finished down the field over a furlong further here last week; much safer elsewhere; more severe headgear (blinkers) replace cheekpieces. |
