14th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 63y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Acts on any ground; had very little to spare at Sandown (2m4f) most recently but the runner-up has franked the form since; still competitively treated back up 2lb, assuming he takes to first-time headgear. |

30th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Did not make any significant further progress after making all for clearcut success at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) last November but is still quite lightly raced over fences and makes his seasonal debut from a workable mark; can make a bold bid. |

9th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Failed to offer much in two chase runs last season and again struggled back over hurdles; steadied the ship when back over fences at Haydock (3m1f, soft) but not many completed and her jumping became iffy in the closing stages; others preferred. |

30th Dec 2024 Heavy 3m 1f 125y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Failed to shine on her two chase starts last season and pulled up on reappearance over hurdles; however, this lightly raced 8yo looked good when winning a novice hurdle at Uttoxeter (2m6f, heavy) last December and she may be the latest Venetia Williams runner to excel on testing ground at Haydock. |

15th May 2024 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Seven-race maiden but he ran his best race so far when fifth of 14 in a Chepstow handicap (2m7f, good) last month; was only beaten around 6l in that race and he's unexposed at staying trips; in the mix for top yard. |

Runner-up in a Chepstow maiden (2m3f, soft) in November but he's not gone on from that and was tailed off on his handicap debut at Kempton (2m5f, soft) in February; still early days in this sphere but he now steps up to 2m7f and has something to prove after another break; stablemate of Florencethemachine. |

18th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Odds-on winner of a Warwick maiden (2m, good) in May 2024 and he returned after a long absence with an encouraging third on handicap debut at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft) last month; that was behind a major improver and he's a player if he can build on that. |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 118y Class 4 |

Justified odds-on favouritism in run-of-the-mill Warwick maiden (2m, good) in May 2024 but this handicap debut comes after a mammoth absence and he'll be of interest only if lively in the betting. |

27th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Made light of a lengthy absence when winning over C&D (good to soft; made most) from Locked Down Lad and Highbury Hill in November but he couldn't repeat the form at Fontwell (about 2m1f, heavy; has form on that surface) last month; well worth another chance back over C&D. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Commenced chase career with two wins; 0-7 since and has failed to back up reappearance effort in a light current campaign; however, this combination of a drop back in class and return to forecast faster ground may prompt a resurgence. |

16th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Won two chases last season and gave good account when third on reappearance outing at Ascot (3m, good) in November; subsequent defeat on heavy ground can probably be overlooked and he'll be dangerous here if the first-time blinkers have any positive effect. |

Fared okay in a Newbury bumper (fifth of 13, beaten 11l) in November; has shown next to nothing since switching to hurdles (0-3); wind surgery could assist, but it's simply a case of watch this space for the time being. |

0-6 over fences when trained by Keiran Burke and absent since modest third in first-time blinkers (now removed) at Fontwell (3m2f, good to soft) last September; 7lb lower for this stable debut but others look safer. |

Very lightly raced 7yo who, relative to this lowly mark, ran okay when 28l fourth in maiden hurdle here (2m2f, heavy) in January; however, he's since been pulled up at Leicester (2m4f, soft) on his handicap debut and has something to prove on this first chase start. |
