26th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
He's run with credit this season on two of his three starts since returning from a long absence, returning to form when third of seven at Kelso (2m6f, good to soft) in December; his novice hurdle wins came on heavy ground and he could have more to offer now back up in trip; on the shortlist. |

1st Nov 2025 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
4-10 under rules, posting a personal best when slamming four rivals in novice hurdle at Newcastle (2m4f, heavy) in March 2024; in much deeper when down the field in Grade 1 novice at Aintree the following month, and has not been seen since; retains potential and will probably stay 3m, so he's quite an interesting candidate despite a lengthy absence. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 96y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
He's well handicapped on his 2024 chase form (won here) but his subsequent profile has been mixed and he was soundly beaten when back over fences at Carlisle two months ago; others have more pressing claims. |

3rd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Lost his way over fences last season but he kept on for an encouraging fourth of 19 over hurdles at Ayr (2m4f, soft) last month and has a handy mark to work with now back chasing, with the step back up in trip a plus. |

17th Jan 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Bumper and maiden hurdle winner (3m, soft) who ran well for a long way on last month's chase and handicap debut at Ludlow (2m4f, good to soft), which came after a 288-day break; shaped as though he needed that run and he could have a part to play now back up in trip. |

18th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Irish bumper win came over this far (made all) and he's added a 3m hurdle since, so assertive strategy likely here; chase/point scorers in pedigree (nephew of prolific Templer) augur well for a move to fences. |

21st May 2024 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Some promise in bumpers but has toiled in all four starts over hurdles, regularly pulling up; switches to handicaps from a lowly mark on much better ground which offers scope for optimism; it's impossible to have confidence though unless the market speaks favourably. |

26th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Pulled up in his first two hurdles and then tailed off over C&D three weeks ago; has weak claims, though this will be his first time away from heavy ground. |
