Unexposed 5yo who beat four rivals fairly comfortably to make winning seasonal/chase debut at Leicester (2m, soft) this month; 7lb higher in a much stronger race here but the limit of his ability remains hard to gauge. |

4th Jul 2025 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Three-time point winner; 12l third to Keel Strand in C&D novice last month (good) and enjoys a huge weights turnaround with that rival now back in a handicap; however, the winner has improved again since whereas this 9yo is now 0-13 under rules and could be vulnerable once more. |

16th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 3f 164y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Impressed on chase debut at Exeter (2m2f, good; first-time tongue-tie) in April and next race only six days on perhaps came too soon; ran better the following month and has had wind surgery during his break; might be on a tough mark but respected. |

26th May 2024 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Made an impressive winning chase debut at Exeter (2m2f, good; first-time tongue-tie) last month but disappointed under a 7lb penalty at Warwick (2m, good; 4-5) six days later; perhaps the race came too soon (he reportedly made a respiratory noise) and he is shortlisted, despite another 6lb rise, if back on song. |

Winless since his 3yo days but has gone close a few times over C&D; patchy since returning from an absence, cracking late in first-time cheekpieces latest having made a lot of the running. |

Won two C&D handicaps at the end of 2022, but 0-25 since; fourth in a couple of similar contest last month including over C&D and holds frame possibiltities again with cheekpieces given a go. |

Mixed results (U15) since wearing cheekpieces and switched to chasing; disappointing favourite on good ground last time; rebound needed in the retained headgear. |

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. |

22nd Sep 2024 Good 2m 4f 114y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Looked beaten when falling on chasing debut in July but ran quite well when fourth over hurdles at Fontwell (2m3f, good) two starts ago and remains lightly raced; could have a say, even from 3lb out of the weights. |

8th Jul 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Unexposed 6yo; well beaten on handicap debut in May but last month's fourth at Fontwell (2m3f, good) was much more encouraging, and further progress is possible on this chasing debut; 3lb wrong. |

12th Jun 2024 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |

Showed only glimmers of promise in three novice/maiden hurdles (2m-2m1f) during the winter and finished a well-held seventh of 12 on last month's handicap debut here (2m5f, good); down 4lb and back in trip but hard to warm to. |

Fell in his first two handicaps but got off the mark with clearcut success in first-time blinkers at Uttoxeter (2m, soft) last month; might not be ideally suited by the forecast faster ground here but may still have potential; tongue-tie fitted for first time. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 149y Class 5 |

18th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Struck form with two 2m hurdle wins in December (Ludlow claimer and Hereford handicap) but three lesser efforts have followed, including a well-held third of five at Ludlow last month; still 4lb higher than for his last success and something to prove on this switch to chasing; reapplied cheekpieces replace a visor. |

17th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 23y Class 4 |

Useful in his younger days but nothing like as good for Alan King this year back from around 18 months off; perhaps the return to his old yard will do the trick and a reproduction of his Newbury third (1m2f, good) in May would give him a fair chance at this lower level. |

Third foal; half-sister to fair staying hurdler Langley Hundred and a point winner; dam fair hurdle winner, half-sister to smart chaser Herecomesthetruth; makes debut in race lacking strength in depth but probably best watched all the same. |

Ex-Irish maiden who's struggled badly under both codes for this yard; would be a shock winner of a competitive handicap in first-time headgear (tongue-tie comes off again). |

6th May 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 37y Class 5 |

Poor under both codes since joining from Joseph O'Brien for 10,000gns last autumn; needs a lot of improvement now handicapping and Celebrating Ethel looks her yard's best shout. |
