7th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 54y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Hurdle/chase winner, over 2m and 2m3f; last to finish when third over 2m3f here 21 days ago and this represents a significant hike in trip. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 48y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Early exit here last time made it two non-completions from five chase attempts; successful over C&D in December but that Class 5 race fell apart and only two finished. |

6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 48y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Comfortably beat Valirann Gold over C&D just before Christmas after being left clear three out; never really threatened to follow up off a 7lb higher mark at Wincanton but that was a Class 4; tongue-tie now added; respected. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Yet to run well at Kelso (three attempts) and well beaten at Catterick last time; however, he had an excuse (bled from the nose) and he won three times in the winter (2m1f/2m3f, soft/good to soft); not written off. |

24th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 66y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Has won over C&D (good to soft/soft) on his last two starts to make it three wins from his last four outings; did it in good style a fortnight ago and a 7lb rise may not stop this thriving 6yo. |

9th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 66y Class 4 |

Has won two of his last three races, the latest over C&D last month (good to soft); back up another 4lb (10lb rise in total); each-way contender. |

15th May 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Six-race maiden who has been beaten 40l or more in his four hurdle runs at up to 2m5f; now switches to a handicap but he's out of the weights and needs plenty of progress back up in trip. |

Very lightly raced 6yo who is related to winners and makes his handicap/stable debut off a basement mark; however, he showed very little over hurdles last spring and was pulled in a point-to-point in November. |
