14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 8y Class 1 |
10st 10lb |
Lightly raced chaser for whom the cheekpieces are making a difference as he won going away at Windsor (soft) and came from the clouds to be third in Haydock's Grand National Trial (again 3m4f; good to soft; 1lb lower) when ahead of Deafening Silence, Git Maker and Grand Albert; unlikely to be anywhere near the front at the start here but he could be in the finish; stays 4m and he'll surely get this far. |
9/1 |

3rd 11 |
14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 4f 97y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
Built upon previous chasing promise to get off the mark at the seventh attempt over fences in first-time cheekpieces at Windsor last month (extended 3m4f, soft; from Holokea); from out of the handicap he's 9lb higher today but is unexposed in the headgear and further improvement is possible. |

18th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 4f 162y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
0-9 under rules (0-6 over fences) but runner-up three times in a row (3m3f-3m6f, various ground) before beaten about 10l when sixth of 11 in the Borders National at Kelso (4m, soft), where his jumping help him back; it's possible he'll find greater fluency today in first-time cheekpieces; chance. |

3rd Jun 2025 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Former Irish pointer/hunter chaser; looked badly out of sorts in handicap chases for new stable last season (four starts) and it takes a big leap of faith to support him on this hurdle debut; had wind op last month; swaps visor for refitted blinkers. |

Rules record of 1-69 is a glaring negative but this veteran did run well to be fourth at Limerick nine days ago, finishing behind Cullenwaine. |

10st 0lb |
Just the one success from 68 starts under rules when landing the Bishopscourt Cup at Punchestown in 2023; good fourth in that race last month when sent off 100-1 but up against it here. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 55y |
11st 11lb |
Sprang a 25-1 surprise in this race in 2023, his only success from 67 appearances on the track, placed eight times; moderate fifth here in 2024 and pulled up in last year's edition; should be better for a recent point run, but up against it at the age of 13. |
