14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 8y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
Won twice as a novice last season and ended up in the National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham (tailed off after racing freely); this campaign is going well and he should stay okay as he wasn't stopping when runner-up over Exeter's super-stiff 3m6f in December (soft); the race he won at Wincanton last time (3m1f, heavy; cheekpieces returned) rather fell apart but he did hack up and the 6lb rise could been a whole lot worse; it's a nagging concern that all five wins have been on right-handed tracks but there's lots to like otherwise about this 7yo. |

29th Jan 2026 Heavy 3m 1f 30y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Dual chase winner who goes well in the mud and he could have done with slower ground when a 6l third over C&D on Boxing Day (good to soft); entitled to step up on that effort here and enters the reckoning. |

11th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 5f 201y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Scored at Exeter (3m, good to soft) in October on second attempt over fences and brushed two lesser efforts aside with a game, front-running win in first-time cheekpieces at Taunton (2m7f, soft) five weeks ago; up 4lb but stays 3m well and could have more to offer. |

16th Apr 2025 Good 3m 4f 21y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Returned to form with hurdle win at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) last month and is now 2-8 in that sphere; set a daunting task on this chasing debut but has some pointing experience to call upon and is evidently in good nick. |

13th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Bought for £3,000 out of Tom Lacey's yard at Doncaster last May having won two Catterick handicaps over 1m7f earlier in the year; this ground fine and not disgraced when tried over 2m4f/3m; probably best watched on stable debut having been off since April. |

23rd Apr 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Displayed sudden jolt of improvement to win twice at Catterick (1m7f, soft) in early part of this year and the form of his subsequent Newcaslte second (2m1f, heavy) reads well; unexposed over this sort of trip but needs to bounce back from a poor performance four weeks ago. |

Dual winning hurdler over about 2m5f; beaten 17l at this track (2m3f) last month following a six-month break and not sure that the drop back in trip will be in his favour. |

26th Jan 2025 Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Three runs at Chepstow look easily the best of his seven appearances over hurdles, the most recent when fifth of 17 in handicap (2m3f, good to soft; acts on heavy) in November; his dam had stamina but this 6yo was pulled up on both his attempts at this sort of trip, including latest outing. |

12st 0lb |
Struggled to cope with heavy ground when upped to 2m5f for recent handicap debut but was placed in a 2m novice on good to soft in the autumn and remains unexposed; swaps cheekpieces for blinkers here. |

11st 6lb |
Bought for 155,000gns after winning Irish maiden point (3m) in May 2022; his rules form has been patchy but he was a fair third in a Lingfield novice hurdle (2m, good to soft) last November and is open to improvement now up in trip in first-time cheekpieces on handicap debut; watch the betting. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Has a patchy profile but she made it 2-6 over fences when justifying favouritism here (2m4f, good) last month; up 6lb but that was a personal best last time and her other chase win came over this C&D; key player. |
2/1 |

30th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 11y Class 5 |

Making stable debut when scoring comfortably over 3m here in January (good to soft) but has to get back on track after three lesser efforts (the latest in a first-time visor). |

15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won easily over fences at Ludlow (3m) in January on debut for this yard but nothing since, latterly with cheekpieces back on; now tries a visor; risky enough. |
