18th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 60y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Winner of the EBF Final on last hurdles attempt and followed up, easily beating sole opponent, at Uttoxeter (3m, good) switched to chasing; subsequent effort, behind Salver and Doyen Quest at Sandown, leaves him with something to find. |

17th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
2-5 over hurdles last season, the latter success gained from a long way off the pace on handicap debut in valuable EBF Final at Sandown (2m4f, good to soft) in March; moves up in trip for this seasonal/chase debut; looks a very good prospect. |

11st 8lb |
Solid record at up to 2m1f on sharp/flat tracks under rules; unplaced favourite over 2m5f at stiff Ascot last time, leaving him with something to prove in this similar scenario. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
11st 1lb |
Soundly beaten here in the Martin Pipe 12 months ago but second of 17 to today's Grade 1 Stayers' hopeful Ma Shantou back here (3m, good) in October; improved to win valuable race in another big field at Haydock (3m, good to soft) in November and should be raring to go today, with major chance. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 208y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
Dual winner at Fontwell (2m1f/2m3f) as a novice hurdler last season; unable to land any sort of blow when making handicap debut at the Festival here (2m4f) in March and raced rather lazily when seventh (not beaten that far) at Sandown in April but this step up to 3m may unlock improvement; not ruled out. |

29th Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Well beaten on both hurdling starts last season but his two runs in the spring were much more encouraging; kept on for respectable third here (2m1f, good) on handicap debut on latter occasion and could quite plausibly improve again over today's longer trip; sports first-time tongue-tie; seemed to handle soft ground in a bumper. |

10th Jun 2025 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Placed in big-field Kempton bumper in March 2024; launched hurdling career with two very disappointing runs this year but last month's keeping-on third here (2m3f, good) was much more encouraging and he could easily have further improvement to come in handicaps. |

25th May 2025 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Placed in big-field Kempton bumper (good to soft) in March 2024 but both hurdle runs this year were very disappointing and he comes here with a lot to prove. |

10st 8lb |
Showed no significant promise when a big-priced outsider for three novice/maiden hurdles (2m-2m3f); significant improvement required on handicap debut. |
