22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Defied much higher marks twice, including over C&D, a couple of years ago; has failed to repeat the form since and ran particularly poorly last time. |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 88y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Five-time hurdle winner who continues to drop down the weights; however, it's a long time since this 11yo has been competitive. |

3rd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Five-time winner, including over 2m3f here; hasn't been at his best in two runs this season and probably best watched in what looks a competitive event. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
5lb higher than when a 6l winner of this last year, beating Ike Sport; returns on the back of two solid efforts at Newcastle; chance. |

31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
This race was one of the three he won last season, all of them on good or good to soft at this trip; on his last winning mark and, after his running-on second over 2m1f here last time, should go well again. |
2/1 |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 190y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Won back to back at Aintree & Hexham (both 2m4f) last summer, rising to a career-high mark of 134; kicked off 2026 with a solid effort at Doncaster (2m4f, soft; runner-up) and he's capable of bouncing back from a lesser effort at Kelso since. |

1st Nov 2025 Good 2m 3f 85y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Made it 2-4 over fences when making all at Perth (2m4f, good) in July when last seen; won on testing ground over hurdles early in career; open to further improvement in this sphere and he's respected up 6lb. |

3rd Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 20y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Hasn't had much racing and he came back from a spell pointing to win a four-runner hunter chase at this track in May; found life tougher back in handicap company when fourth of nine here (also 3m, good) the following month; this drop back in trip isn't an obvious plus. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 1 |
10st 7lb |
Held by Madara and Will The Wise but running well when falling at final fence in the Plate at Cheltenham (2m4f, good to soft) last month; two wins during a progressive 2025 (2m4f/2m6f, soft/good to soft); each-way shout. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 44y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Has a useful jumps strike-rate and a Newbury chase win (about 2m6f, good to soft) in November showed he was still improving; a 9lb rise appeared beyond him on the New course since but he travelled strongly for a long way and may yet show he hasn't exhausted the handicapping options. |
14/1 |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
Tends to finish strongly from off the pace and posted another personal best when winning at Newbury (2m6f, good to soft) at the end of November; a 9lb rise means he'll need another leap forward but he keeps progressing and it's certainly possible. |
