One of three for yard; 3m2f handicap chase winner for Paul Nicholls off 5lb lower at Newton Abbott in May (3m2f, good); never travelled when pulled up at Fontwell in June (3m2f, good); preferred by Kennedy and goes on any ground; market can guide on debut for new yard. |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 176y Class 1 |
11st 1lb |
Won on chase debut at Worcester (2m, good) in October and runner-up on next two starts (including C&D) before narrow win at Windsor (2m, soft) in January; he's 6lb higher than last time and in a hotter race today, but this progressive 7yo may be able to find the necessary further improvement. |

18th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 37y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Solid record (122) switched to fences this term and his penultimate effort has worked out particularly well; ran creditably when favourite at Newbury (2m, good to soft) latest; may be capable of better still; strong contender. |

22nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 4 |

Competitive off this sort of mark over hurdles and seems to go well after a break; however, lacks chasing experience and probably wants further than this trip. |

17th Feb 2024 Soft 1m 7f 50y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Showed some useful form in bumpers and might well have been placed in a Listed hurdle won by the smart Luccia had she not suffered a heavy fall late on; has a long absence to overcome and all her form is on good or good to soft, but her ability is respected in this company. |
5/1 |

26th Nov 2022 Good 2m 0f 69y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Hasn't quite gone on as expected after a promising beginning in bumpers; beaten favourite on her last two outings, including when third on her hurdling debut at Wincanton (1m7f, good; raced freely and lost a shoe) nine days ago; this higher grade demands improvement but that's certainly possible. |
14/1 |
|
3rd 9 |
17th Nov 2022 Good 1m 7f 50y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Looked smart in her first two bumpers (second in a Listed event) but didn't match that level in final two starts; wind surgery ahead of hurdling debut and strong claims if she transfers most of her ability. |

Sole success came at Exeter off 7lb higher in April last year; has slipped down the weights but placed for the first time since when second of six finishers at Ffos Las (2m5f, good) 15 days ago; cannot dismiss. |

Safely held when 25-1 for handicap debut at Ffos Las (2m, good to soft) just over a year ago and not seen again since but remains very unexposed and is well worth keeping an eye on in the betting; tongue-tie added. |

18th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Dual hurdle winner who made it second time lucky over fences when beating seven rivals in a Bangor handicap (2m2f, soft) last month; up 5lb but he turned things around with that comfortable success and should have more to offer in this sphere; key player. |

Two wins over hurdles; showed nothing in that discipline on his return from a break and unseated mid-race on chase debut three weeks ago; too risky. |

9th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 12y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
A three-time 2m chase winner last season but he's offered precious little this term, tried in blinkers when pulled up on his last two runs at Ludlow and Exeter either side of Christmas; his mark is plummeting but it's still easy to look elsewhere. |
14/1 |

3-8 over fences, the latest win gained gamely from the front at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) in March; ended last season with two lesser efforts, though, and current mark probably demands a career best. |

5th Jun 2025 Standard 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Pulled up over fences latest; good start to her Flat career when second in an admittedly weak novice (9.5f) in January and it was her best run when third on handicap debut (also Wolverhampton, 1m4f) having been ridden prominently; new trip could eke out a bit more. |

Placed on the Flat since winning over hurdles in first-time cheekpieces at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) in December and ran quite well when back over hurdles last month; has headgear refitted for this chasing debut but others have more pressing claims. |

Took a while to get the hang of hurdling but he's thriving now and he won comfortably at Fakenham (2m4f, good) last month; up 7lb but he still has untapped potential and could follow up. |

20th Jul 2025 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Irish point winner; a bumpy road in Britain but he went close over C&D in June and came well clear at Stratford (2m6f, good to firm) last weekend; probably not straightforward and he has hung away from the whip but likely has an easier task under a penalty than when reassessed. |

4th Jul 2025 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |

Low-mileage 7yo; made inauspicious start to chasing career last summer but returned from layoff with creditable second over C&D (good) last month and has scope to build on that performance; must be considered. |

Failed to build upon quite encouraging handicap hurdle debut (2m4f) when safely held over 3m last month but might be perked up by blinkers here, and his Irish point third in 2023 bodes well for his chasing prospects. |
