18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Good form when winning a two-runner novice chase at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) in December on his second run over fences; however, he hasn't kicked on since and needs to raise his game if he's to win this. |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Not fully exposed over fences and has winning form in a match, downing a 1-3 shot at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) in December; has jumping frailties, however, which again came to the fore when an 18l second of two finishers over this sort of trip at Chepstow (soft) three weeks ago; tongue-tie added and maybe this race won't be a stern examination of his jumping technique. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Won a match race at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) in December, his second chase, and certainly didn't run badly when last of five in Windsor handicap (3m, soft) last month, where a last-fence error magnified his margin of defeat; not sure to benefit from this drop back in trip but still enters calculations. |

7th Apr 2024 Heavy 2m 1f 0y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Fifth foal; from a family that has done well for connections, with him being a half-brother to winners Nells Son (bumper and useful hurdle/chase), Amberose (hurdle; RPR 112) and Rubytwo (bumper/hurdle; 105); trainer does well in bumpers and he's one to be interested in on debut. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
0-8 over hurdles; sound run from the front when third to a pair of dead-heaters over C&D last time (good); one with a chance. |

3rd 7 |
6th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Exposed; fair fourth at Ayr in November (3m, soft) and may have needed the race after a break when well beaten at Newcastle last time (2m4f, good to soft). |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Fell on chase debut at Hexham (2m4f; 3-1) in October; failed to stay 3m (ran respectably) back over hurdles at Ayr the following month; off since but 8lb lower than when first introduced to handicapping 14 months ago; stablemate of Snow Dragon. |

2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Ran his best race for nearly two years when a close fourth over C&D last time (good) on his third start over fences; each-way chance on that form. |
7/1 |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Bumped into progressive winner when runner-up over C&D (soft) last month on his second chase start but beaten 31l and only two completed, so it wasn't a good advertisement for his claims this afternoon. |
14/1 |
|
2nd 6 |
25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Modest maiden hurdler who made mistakes when pulled up on chasing debut in 3m Ayr handicap last month; he needs to take a major step forward. |
