17th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Very well handicapped on staying form as recent as last March and it's possible the step back up in trip will be a positive; however, unable to pose a threat across his six runs this season and has to raise his game. |

26th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 116y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Has had a disappointing season so far, beaten 26l+ on first four starts before a more encouraging front-running effort in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Ascot (2m3.5f, soft) nine days ago; 6lb lower than latest win last March and eased in class so hard to dismiss completely. |

In good form last spring but woeful in three runs this season, beaten at least 34l each time; perhaps cheekpieces will rekindle his enthusiasm but he's difficult to recommend unless strong in the market. |

11st 12lb |
Not wholly straightforward, but appreciated the return to hurdling sufficiently to record a new personal best in victory at Uttoxeter latest (2m7f, good to soft); blinkers debuted there will need to work at least as well now returned to his previous highest mark; has won on good. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Completed a double over hurdles at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) in November 2024 but he's been up and down since and was pulled up over fences at Chepstow (11-4 favourite) last month; new headgear is now tried and he comes with risks attached back in this sphere. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Won over C&D (good) last season and has made the frame all three hurdling starts this term, the latest here (2m7f, good to soft) in December; seems versatile ground-wise and, from a workable mark, probably won't be far away. |

Three-time point winner; unplaced in four hurdle races since switched to racing under rules in February, most recently when never-dangerous sixth on handicap debut at Southwell (3m, good) this month, but might be seen in a better light on today's chasing debut. |

Bought for £60,000 soon after winning Irish point debut in February 2022 (yielding to soft); that form has not turned out to be anything out of the ordinary and this rules debut has been a long time coming; nevertheless, it will be interesting to see how he fares. |

Returns to the AW after another modest effort over hurdles, but was twice runner-up on Polytrack before that; both wins have come on that surface, but he ran well to finish a close third behind Payment Plan over this C&D in November 2024; each-way claims again. |

Hasn't been seen over hurdles since February last year but was only beaten a head at Plumpton in December 2024 when 11-8 favourite; runner-up on the Flat twice recently so fitness will not be an issue and he must be of interest. |

Ran well in fourth at Chelmsford (2m, Polytrack) in January when back from some time off and built on that to go close there (1m6f) four weeks ago; there's every chance he'll be bang there once more. |

Winning pointer; only modest form on handicap/chase debut, beaten 44l at Stratford (2m1f, good) in June; should be suited by the step back up in trip with cheekpieces returning; others have more pressing claims. |

Became disappointing for Harry Fry; competitive form over hurdles and fences for current yard but he bled three runs back and couldn't hang in there at Exeter (2m3f, good) last time; continues to drop down the weights but he's now 0-8 over fences and is untried at this trip. |
