11th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Last won when scoring by 12l off this mark at Ludlow (2m5f, soft) in February 2024; only one start last term and he finished eighth of 13 on his comeback at Lingfield three weeks ago; that run wasn't devoid of promise, though; could step forward. |

Dual hurdle winner in 2023-24 season (2m3f/2m5f); absent since respectable fourth at Newton Abbot (2m5f, heavy) in October 2024 but resumes on a good mark; market may guide. |

31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Some good runs in plating hurdles in the spring but soundly beaten back in handicaps on his last four starts, most recently when reverting to fences; lots to prove. |

Won a selling hurdle for James Owen in March but was safely held in two handicap hurdles for new stable last month (2m/2m4f) and needs to raise his game on this first chasing start since January 2024. |

10st 10lb |
Absent since chase defeat (let down by jumping) in May 2022; defied a 5lb higher mark over hurdles at Huntingdon (3m1f, soft) two starts earlier; tongue-tie now added; well handicapped assuming he retains ability, and market support should be heeded. |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 7f 176y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Second-season chaser who took his form to new levels over about 3m1f-3m2f at Cheltenham initially this season but, after wind surgery, faded badly from three out when 10-1 for the Kim Muir there last month; needs to bounce back with another career best and he has more to prove on this third attempt at a marathon trip. |
20/1 |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 70y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Second-season chaser who has run well here on his last three starts, finishing second of 16 under Finian Maguire (3m1f, heavy) then fourth over this C&D (good to soft; lost a shoe) before winning here (3m1f, good) on New Year's Day; has had wind surgery since and he's a solid contender. |

C&D winner last October and followed up on heavy ground at Newmarket; returns to the Flat off a 6lb higher mark and after pulling up over hurdles in February; will need to be approaching his best. |

11st 12lb |
Gained his Flat wins in the autumn over 2m/2m2f; subsequent hurdles efforts at about 3m; veteran who may not be crying out for this drop back to sharp 2m5f under this code. |

3rd Oct 2024 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
0-10 and aside from his third at Bangor (2m3f, good) in June, there has been little to enthuse over. |

23rd Sep 2024 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
No threat to the front two when third at Bangor in June (2m3f, good) and then tailed off at Worcester; remains a maiden and needs to find extra. |

26th Jun 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Placed for first time in seven-race hurdling career when keeping-on third at Bangor (2m3f, good) this month but was no threat to the front pair there and needs to make further progress here. |
