13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Won two in a row in February 2024 and very well treated on that form, but pulled up/tailed off on his last three starts; a visor goes on. |

Too risky when he's pulled up in four of his last five races and over two years since he last won. |

Dual C&D winner last season (soft/good to soft), and was placed off 10lb higher on the outer track here (2m1f, soft) in November; impossible to rule out but has become unreliable and was safely held here twice last month. |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |

Two wins in Ireland, both with give in the ground; has become well handicapped after being dropped 10lb for three poor runs last season; interesting back after wind surgery. |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 190y Class 5 |

Last win (in Ireland) came off a 10lb higher mark but she seems to have been going through the motions of late, beating only one home at Carlisle (2m1f, soft; 13-2) in December; needs a revival. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Has won over hurdles for three different yards, most recently at Worcester (2m7f, good) last July, but he's been pulled up in three starts for this stable and drops into a seller with masses to find at the weights. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Worcester winner for Ben Pauling last July (2m7f, good) but has been pulled up on both starts for Victor Thompson since, the first in a point, the second in a handicap hurdle at Newcastle; bit to prove. |
50/1 |

3rd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 149y Class 4 |

With Ben Pauling when taking advantage of a light weight at Worcester (2m7f, good) last July; changed hands soon after; pulled up on comeback at Friars Haugh (2m4f point; first time over fences); better to look elsewhere. |

31st May 2024 Soft 2m 1f 47y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Back off the same mark as when winning at Hamilton (1m4f, good to firm) last summer and seems to go on any ground, but is still to show that he wants this far on the Flat. |

Won this race in 2022 and was also successful at Hamilton (1m4f, good to firm) last spring; back on a good mark now but looked out of sorts on latest hurdling start in February and has become very unreliable. |

Yet to be placed after 13 starts, the last seven for this stable; only beaten about 10l when fourth in Hexham seller (2m, good to soft) this month but others have much more persuasive form. |

Made the frame in three maidens (2m-2m4f) last summer but he's failed to complete in last two starts including when back in a handicap at Plumpton (pulled up) in September; hurdling record now stands at 0-12 and has something to prove on his return; change of headgear. |

Solid record (22112) having wind surgery, proving better than ever; beaten only half a length by Chasingouttheblues at Catterick (3m1f, good to soft) most recently; firmly in the mix. |

Won in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) at Newcastle (2m7f, good to soft) in December on third chase start and followed up at Haydock (3m1f, good to soft); climbing the weights but this 8yo is clearly on the up. |
