21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Came good over fences with small-field win at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) in February but was not in the same form on his latest outing and ran poorly the only previous time he wore cheekpieces; others look safer. |
8/1 |

5th 4 |
28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Dual bumper and hurdle winner; mixed results in his first three runs over fences but he really got his act together when justifying favouritism at Bangor (2m5f, soft) last month; that was a four-runner race but he forged clear in the closing stages and a 6lb rise looks fair; shortlisted. |
9/4 |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Useful bumper horse and hurdler but has always struggled with consistency, a pattern that's threatening to continue over fences; however, if in the same form as when second to a sharp improver at Southwell two runs back (2m4f, good to soft; fine on soft) he'd have every chance. |

13th Feb 2024 Soft 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

No impact in bumpers or three maiden/novice hurdles at up to 2m4f; may do better now handicapping in first-time cheekpieces, but 4lb wrong. |

28th Jan 2024 Soft 2m 3f 49y Class 4 |

Has struggled to get competitive in two bumpers and two maiden hurdles (2m3f/2m4f); makes no appeal. |

16th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 3f 164y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Impressed on chase debut at Exeter (2m2f, good; first-time tongue-tie) in April and next race only six days on perhaps came too soon; ran better the following month and has had wind surgery during his break; might be on a tough mark but respected. |

12st 0lb |
Made an impressive winning chase debut at Exeter (2m2f, good; first-time tongue-tie) last month but disappointed under a 7lb penalty at Warwick (2m, good; 4-5) six days later; perhaps the race came too soon (he reportedly made a respiratory noise) and he is shortlisted, despite another 6lb rise, if back on song. |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Winning hurdler/chaser for the Moores and still fairly treated on his runner-up efforts at Southwell (2m, good to soft) and Plumpton (2m1f, good) in the spring; picked up for £16,000 last month and shortlisted on stable debut, especially if market positive. |

1-7 over fences and not the easiest to predict; still ran well last time at Plumpton (2m1f, good; first-time cheekpieces) where his jumping got ragged late on; hard to rule out. |

17th Mar 2025 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |

Not fully exposed after only eight runs but unplaced all seven hurdling starts before struggling on last month's chasing debut (bled from the nose); leap of faith is required to support him here. |

Soundly beaten, including in two handicaps over 3m and another over 2m6f; had wind surgery since latest start, with a tongue-tie also now enlisted, and they need to work wonders. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 110y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Beaten on first seven chase starts but showed improved form to win comfortably at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) in February and he bumped into a progressive winner there (2m3f, soft) last month, when clear of the third; there can be optimism that he will be fine back down in trip and he's respected. |

15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |

Fully deserved his breakthrough chase success over C&D (soft) under Toby McCain-Mitchell last month; the style of his win suggests he will be a major player again off a 7lb higher mark. |

Out of a half-sister to smart hurdlers Zamdy Man and Clyne; represents a top yard but was disappointing favourite when well-held ninth in good-ground Hereford bumper in November and stable jockey Harry Cobden has taken an outside ride in this race. |

Record of 2-7 over fences and he ran a big race in defeat at Exeter (2m3f, good to soft) last month; is also well suited by this track and he should be in the mix again after a short break. |
