2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Bold-jumping front-runner with seven wins from 18 starts over fences; ideally served by further than 2m but won over this trip at Chepstow (good to soft) in April; ran well again when runner-up at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) last month and will be the one to catch. |

7th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 189y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Took form to another new level when winning by 10l from the front at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) last month and is now 7-17 over fences (includes course win); today's trip-and-ground combination will also suit; respected. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Record of 5-12 for current yard; campaigned mostly at longer trips but the way he shaped over a sharp 2m2f last time (ran well on return from break) suggests this galloping 2m may not be a problem; in the mix. |

Narrow chase win over 2m1f at Bangor (heavy) last February; has been off and had wind surgery since well beaten over hurdles that April; this is a warm race for the grade. |

6th Apr 2024 Heavy 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Placed in one of his two handicaps over hurdles but his improvement has come as a chaser, winning at Bangor (heavy) and second at Huntingdon (soft); off the same mark as last time and shouldn't be far away. |

7th May 2024 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Did win over fences but became disappointing, and was again below par returned to those obstacles last time; had previously finished a close fourth on his return to hurdling at Ludlow (2m, soft; stable debut) and that brings him into it; tries cheekpieces. |

Won a Ludlow novice handicap on chasing debut when with Christian Williams in February 2022 (2m, soft) but rather disappointing over fences since; close fourth in a Ludlow handicap hurdle on first run for this new yard (2m, soft) and has a chance if translating that form to fences. |

Has three wins over fences, including one over C&D; 2lb lower than for his last win at Plumpton last April but has been below his best on his last three starts, the latest when tailed off over hurdles. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

8th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 77y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Gained a third chase win last season at Plumpton (2m1f) in April but went too freely when last of three in 2m Huntingdon handicap chase the following month; it would come as no surprise to see him bounce back after a break here though. |

13yo who needs to prove he retains ability, having shown little in two outings this season; on a three-year losing spell and yet to win away from Huntingdon; 24lb out of the weights; opposed. |

Veteran whose last win was off 4lb higher in this race back in 2021 (good to soft); fair third at Hereford last April (2m, good to soft) but faces a stiff tack from 4lb out of the handicap on going softer than ideal. |
