18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 7f 176y Class 1 |
11st 13lb |
0-5 in this first chase campaign but pipped at Cheltenham (2m4f, soft) in January and a close third of 22 in the Ultima at the Festival there (3m1f, good to soft) on latest outing; raised 5lb for this first attempt at a marathon trip but he's relatively unexposed and kept on stoutly in that bold show last time. |

3rd 16 |
10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
10st 10lb |
Mixed form during this novice chase campaign but he went very close in handicap here (2m4f, soft) in January and 2m was against him back in novice company at Newbury latest; best performance over hurdles came when winning at 3m at Ayr (good to soft) last April; possible improver now back up in trip. |
9/1 |

2nd 4 |
17th Feb 2026 2m 0f 92y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Tongue-tie has been retained since he won a 3m handicap hurdle at last season's big April meeting at Ayr; runner-up in two of his three chases and jumped well when nosed out by the likeable Jordans Cross at Cheltenham last month (2m4f, soft); surprising to see him back at 2m but at least the ground will be testing, and he'd be giving weight to all his rivals in a handicap. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 82y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Returned from two-year absence with some promising runs during the winter including when fifth of 18 in a maiden here (1m7f, good to soft; tongue tied) in February; now goes handicapping off what looks a fair mark and she has a high-class 2m5f winner on her dam's side; respected at this new trip. |
4/1 |

5th 10 |
25th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 50y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Came back from two-year absence with encouraging third in Chepstow novice (good to soft) in December; 7-4 from 3-1 but he took a big step backwards when tailed-off last of five finishers at Lingfield (also about 2m3f, heavy) three weeks ago; new tongue-tie/drop in trip might help and he's not confidently ruled out. |

14th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 149y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
0-7 but he ran his best race so far when front-running second in a chase handicap at Taunton (2m, good to soft; cheekpieces added) last month; that was only his second run over fences and he's a big player if he can build on that. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 4 |
17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 12y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Lightly raced 6yo who has had two races since returning from a year out and his handicap/chase debut at Bangor last time was forgettable; now in cheekpieces and others look safer. |

6th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Not solid on his hurdling exploits (0-7) and he ran no race on chase debut last time (2m4f); this longer trip is probably a better fit for him so may leave that latest run behind. |
20/1 |

26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Mixed form over hurdles this season but runner-up at Plumpton (3m1f, good) two starts ago and stable has much better strike-rate with chasers than hurdlers nowadays; not ruled out on first run over fences. |
10/1 |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Did not show a great deal in his qualifying races last season (2m3f-2m5f) and unseated rider at third flight when upped to 3m2f for handicap debut in March (race subsequently declared void); returns from six-month break. |

3rd Dec 2024 Good To Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
From a very good jumping family but was soundly beaten in two bumpers last season and made just a mildly encouraging hurdle debut when well-held third (fourth best on merit) at Ffos Las (2m, good to soft) last month. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Course winner who was in good form until pulled up in 3m Chepstow handicap 19 days ago; he may have found that run coming too quickly so is worth another chance in refitted cheekpieces. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Not always one to rely upon heavily but won at Exeter (2m5f, heavy) last month and stayed on for third (just behind Blue In The West) in big field there (2m7f, good to soft) nine days ago; could have a say. |

Returned to form with 4l win here (2m5f, heavy) last month but was safely held when fourth over C&D (good to soft) 11 days ago and is not one to rely upon; others preferred. |

21st Jul 2024 Good To Soft 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Pulled up here (2m5f, good) when 40-1 for recent handicap debut, having racing too freely; may benefit from combination of drop back in trip and first-time hood today but huge improvement is needed. |

5th Jul 2024 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 5 |

Shown no worthwhile form in her bumpers or in three starts over hurdles; goes up in trip on handicap debut but hard to make a case. |

12th Jan 2024 Soft 1m 7f 50y Class 4 |

38,000euros 2yo; fourth foal; out of half-sister to 2m5f-4m3f hurdle/high-class chase winner L'Ami and useful 2m1f-3m hurdle/chase winner Kelami; 7-1, came home well behind on bumper debut at Exeter before Christmas; looks as though he may need time. |

38,000euros 2yo; fourth foal; brother to 2m2f hurdle winner Hokelami, half-brother to 2m5f hurdle winner Fierami; dam unraced half-sister to high-class chaser L'Ami and useful jumper Kelami; market support will bring him into the equation. |

Second foal; dam low-grade 3m hurdle winner, half-sister to useful 2m7f-3m1f hurdle/chase winner Whataknight; will probably need a stiffer stamina test to be seen to best effect; others appeal more. |
