19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 2 |
11st 13lb |
Has faced a couple of difficult tasks since returned to hurdles but was beaten when taking a late fall returned to handicap level most recently; can be opposed off current mark in this deeper field. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
Second in two small-field chases this season before reverting to hurdles at big odds for two Cheltenham Grade 2s, soundly beaten on latest occasion; runner-up off the same mark in this race last term; 5lb claimer takes over and they are considered each-way. |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Some progressive form in handicap hurdles last season at up to 3m and, after two defeats over fences, he reverted to hurdles and finished fifth of six in the Grade 2 Relkeel Hurdle (2m4f) here on New Year's Day; that was a respectable performance but he faces another tough task today. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 176y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Smart form but has won only twice (runner-up seven times); rallied when beaten 1l by No Questions Asked in Grade 2 novice at Windsor (2m, soft; handles good) in January; raced freely and faded in Grand Annual Handicap at Cheltenham last time; the hood is back on today, a tongue-strap is fitted and he may well bounce back to form; if so, he has each-way possibilities. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 199y Class 1 |
11st 6lb |
Improved form when winning on chase debut at Stratford (2m3f, good to soft) in October and strong performances when runner-up in Graded races on his three starts since, including over C&D (soft); this lightly raced 7yo is in top hands and has the potential to be better than this mark now back in a handicap; the hood is left off today, but he ran well without it in December. |

16th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 37y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Won on chase debut at Stratford (2m3f, good to soft) in October and runner-up in hot races on next two starts, namely the Grade 2 Arkle Trial at Cheltenham (2m, soft) and the Grade 1 Henry VIII at Sandown (1m7f, good to soft); this will take less winning than last time; leading claims. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Seemed to be travelling well before falling four out at Southwell (2m4f, good; first run after wind op) last month and remains well handicapped but has not been firing on all cylinders for new stable this season; swaps visor for first-time cheekpieces; others have more pressing claims. |

24th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |

Won a novice hurdle and two handicap chases for Alan King; no closer than 13l in five runs for this yard, the last two over hurdles; had a wind operation. |

9th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 66y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won two three-runner handicap chases at Plumpton (2m3f, good) for Alan King in 2024; mainly disappointing for present yard, including in today's headgear back over hurdles at Uttoxeter last time (2m4f, good to soft); first hurdle/chase run on slower than good to soft ground. |

16th Mar 2024 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Promising sort who is two from two, having justified favouritism in British point (2m4f, good) and Wincanton novice hurdle (2m5f, soft); readily beat a subsequent dual scorer in latter four months ago; open to any amount of further progress and commands respect on return from another break. |

Joined this top yard after winning a 2m4f British point on good ground last December; described as a "lovely individual" by his trainer and has to be of major interest. |

16th Mar 2024 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Placed twice in December for Anthony Charlton; returns from an 11-week layoff and makes debut for new stable (remains with same owner); has proved largely consistent but slow ground would be a negative, having registered his wins on good/good to firm. |

29th Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 88y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
His hurdle win came in a match (2m3f, good to firm) and he carries a 6lb penalty against some interesting rivals; however, he was second behind an exciting winner at Hereford (2m3f, good) last time and can give another good account if the ground suits (ran well in a point on yielding to soft). |

16th Dec 2023 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won Stratford bumper in the spring and easily followed up in C&D match race on hurdling debut in October; beaten only about 11l when last of seven finishers in Cheltenham Grade 2 (2m, good) later that month and needs to be taken very seriously in these much calmer waters. |

Poor form in five Flat runs and she's been tailed off in her only completed start over hurdles this year; now makes her handicap hurdle debut but she needs to show a lot more back up in trip. |

Saddle slipped when pulled up on hurdle debut but there were no such excuses when also failing to complete last time at Kempton; Flat form was of little account. |
