3rd 4 |
5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Doing surprisingly well over fences as he's not bred for them; he might just be a shade high in the weights now after his hat-trick bid came up shy in a three-runner race but he must still have some sort of chance on ground he handles. |
3/1 |

2nd 4 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 149y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Not bred for fences but has collected small-field chase wins on soft ground at Plumpton (2m1f) and Fontwell (2m2f) in recent weeks, and may be even better suited by the forecast good ground on this hat-trick attempt. |

14th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 1f 165y Class 4 |

Plenty of short-priced defeats to go with his sole win over hurdles; ended a losing run when winning over fences at Plumpton (2m1f, soft) last time, off a 4lb lower mark, but needs to build on that against a couple of progressive rivals. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 8y Class 1 |
11st 6lb |
Well named as a hurdler and proving a revelation over fences, racking up six wins in his seven starts; has the canny habit of never prevailing by wide margins, with none of those wins gained by more than two lengths; unraced over this far (the same can be said for many) but he stayed on best over 3m5f at Lingfield last time (soft) and he impressed in how he moved through that race; loves the mud, so the recent rain was a major blessing. |

Launched chasing career with five consecutive wins, the latest on seasonal debut at Uttoxeter (3m2f, heavy) in November; could still have more improvement to come over this new trip but needs to bounce back from last month's disappointing run. |

Reserve; won final hurdle start last March (2m5f, heavy) and 4-4 over fences this term (heavy/soft); travelled well at Lingfield (extended 2m7f) latest and this thriving 6yo could have plenty more left in the tank; may well take a 7lb rise in his stride if handling the forecast quicker ground. |

Won on first completion over fences, at Lingfield (2m, soft) in November 2024, but he hasn't run to the same level since, pulling up at Fontwell (first-time cheekpieces, retained) in January on second run back from an absence; has it to prove at present. |
