7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Failed to complete his final two starts for Paul Nicholls but won narrowly after a wind operation on stable debut at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft); 17-2 to defy this 5lb higher mark at Exeter but he unseated at the start in a race won by Silver Thorn. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Has a patchy profile but she made it 2-6 over fences when justifying favouritism here (2m4f, good) last month; up 6lb but that was a personal best last time and her other chase win came over this C&D; key player. |

30th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 11y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Making stable debut when scoring comfortably over 3m here in January (good to soft) but has to get back on track after three lesser efforts (the latest in a first-time visor). |

15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won easily over fences at Ludlow (3m) in January on debut for this yard but nothing since, latterly with cheekpieces back on; now tries a visor; risky enough. |

25th Apr 2024 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Placed on handicap hurdle debut at Fontwell (2m5f soft) in January but his subsequent chasing debut was underwhelming and he was pulled up when switched back to hurdles and tried in cheekpieces this month; now back over fences with blinkers fitted; remains unexposed but has a point to prove. |

7th Apr 2024 Heavy 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Lightly raced 6yo who was placed on handicap debut at Fontwell (2m5f, soft) in January; rather disappointing when upped to 3m1f for chasing debut the following month and now sports cheekpieces but could still have potential. |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 57y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Good fourth over C&D (soft) in November and outstayed next-time-out winner Jalisco Star when scoring at Fontwell (3m2f, good to soft) on Boxing Day; still on workable mark after latest 2lb rise; likely contender again. |

19th Apr 2025 Soft 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Took a hiding at the weights for Newbury win (2m4f, heavy) last March; he's run to a similar level in defeat twice since but was pulled up at Fontwell in February and 3m2f may be further than he wants to go. |

22nd Oct 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 25y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Displayed huge improvement to finish first in Chepstow maiden (2m3f, heavy) in January, only to be demoted to second for causing interference; gained compensation in match race here (2m5f, heavy) the following month and might have more to offer in handicaps this term. |

23rd Feb 2024 Soft 2m 5f 137y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Left previous form behind when first past the post at 100-1 at Chepstow (2m3f, heavy) last month, only to be demoted due to interference; needs to confirm that promise today, but leading claims if he can. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Form of October 2024's Hereford chase debut win (3m1f, good) has been consolidated rather than improved upon; fair record after long absences but realistically needs the wind surgery since last seen to elicit improvement. |

5th Jun 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Scored at Hereford (3m1f, good) in October and ended last season with a pretty good third over that C&D; not always one to rely upon heavily but enters calculations. |
