20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Seemed to have been aided by a wind op when placed at Ffos Las (3m, good to soft) in April, his second handicap, but was pulled up on next two outings (latter was chase debut) and has since left Ben Pauling; has tongue-tie refitted for stable debut; cheekpieces removed after one use. |

11th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Bumper winner; 0-6 over hurdles and needs to bounce back from a poor run but his third of 14 at Ffos Las (3m, good to soft) in April was a good effort; drops back in trip and sports first-time cheekpieces on chasing debut; could have a say if back on song. |

Good-ground bumper scorer; had wind surgery prior to a resurgent effort, finishing 5l third and one place behind Star Turn, over C&D (good to soft) last month in only his second handicap attempt; warrants respect off same mark, with a step forward possible. |

Won four handicap hurdles at about this trip for Donald McCain; 0-4 for current yard, though ran in the Listed chase here won by Grey Dawning before finishing third in a handicap chase at Bangor (beaten 4.5l); might be running back into form. |

18th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 137y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Irish point winner in 2023; has yet to fulfil initial bumper promise and was pulled up a year ago on handicap debut (3m, soft; first-time cheekpieces) on final start for Nicky Henderson; interesting to see what the new stable can do with him; market can guide. |

Irish maiden point winner in May 2023; with a top yard but came up short under Ben Sutton in his two bumpers and two hurdle races (both over an extended 2m4f) so he looks one of their lesser lights; unraced on soft. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Ended his time over hurdles for Dan Skelton under something of a cloud; not disgraced on yard/chasing debut with third in 2m4f handicap here but pulled up in 2m7f handicap chase back here 20 days ago; has something to prove now. |
14/1 |

11th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Very inconsistent for Dan Skelton last season but ran well from the front when third here (2m4f, good) on stable debut three weeks ago and won't mind if the ground is much slower today (has won on heavy); unexposed over this sort of trip; a possible if in the right mood again. |

3rd 8 |
22nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Heavy-ground 2m hurdle winner when with Dan Skelton; changed hands for 1,000gns since being beaten more than 16l in a Stratford seller in March; 2lb lower for chase debut but can only suggest a watching brief at present. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Hasn't won since landing a Warwick maiden hurdle in April 2024; has an inconsistent profile but ran well on his second start over fences when runner-up to Axel Bleue over C&D (good) three weeks ago; that run puts him in with a shout. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 6 |
1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won maiden hurdle in 2024; best effort for a long time when third of 11 here (2m7f, good; closely matched with Pike Road) in June but he was beaten too far in one previous chase start under rules, at Taunton last November, to have confidence now back over fences. |
12/1 |

3rd 8 |
6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Yet to add to his sole win at Warwick (2m3f, good) over two years ago and recent evidence doesn't suggest a breakthrough is imminent; not dismissed completely but needs a revival. |

Belied 33-1 odds when placed here on hurdle debut (2m, good) in November and, after a lesser effort on soft ground, again showed significant promise when fifth at Market Rasen (2m4f, good) last month; not obviously well treated for this handicap debut but may still have potential. |

Fell at eighth fence when 40-1 for last month's chase/handicap debut but showed some promise in 2m novice hurdles in the spring and remains very unexposed. |

25th Jul 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Peak effort over hurdles came when 7l fourth to a subsequent Punchestown handicap hurdle winner at Ludlow in April but has since finished a disappointing last of six back there in May (made a respiratory noise); back up in trip but faces no easy task on this switch to fences on handicap debut with a tongue-tie now added. |

Had just the four races and was beaten only 7l behind subsequent Punchestown handicap winner Daddy Long Legs in a C&D novice on good ground last month; flattered to finish so close to the easy winner but the runner-up is a capable jumper. |

Struggled in a bumper in January; ran well for a long way when sixth in 2m4f maiden point in March and may not have handled heavy ground when pulled up on latest outing but is not the most obvious answer here; swaps cheekpieces for first-time blinkers; tongue-tie added. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 125y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Suffered two flops in his last three races but the latest was in the National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham; both wins since December have been here (3m1f/3m4f), latterly in the 11-runner Grand National Trial that always takes some winning; if on a going day then he would have strong claims, for all that softer ground would be preferred. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 5f 201y Class 2 |

Impressive in a useful handicap at Haydock (extended 3m1f, soft) and, following a Doncaster flop, even better when he emerged on top in the Grand National Trial back at Haydock (extended 3m4f, good to soft); up another 6lb but little to prove regarding stamina and should have more to give. |

Impressive when winning the Tommy Whittle here (extended 3m1f, soft) in December and on that evidence today's 10lb higher mark may not be beyond this unexposed 7yo; he's a lot better than he showed at Doncaster (3m, soft) three weeks ago but has something to prove following that flop. |
