9th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 1 |
10st 13lb |
5-14 strike-rate and steadily progressive form, gaining his latest success over this C&D (good ground; three of today's rivals behind) in convincing fashion; a 6lb rise does not look harsh, and with further improvement on the cards he has solid claims. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 144y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
6yo who has shown improved form this season, winning at Ascot (1m7f, soft) in December then runner-up at Sandown (2m, good); well-beaten fifth in the gruelling William Hill Hurdle at Newbury (2m, heavy) in February; has had a break since and could play a leading role if back to his best. |

7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
Just held on from strong-finishing All In You at Ascot (1m7f, soft) and was unable to confirm the placings, albeit far from discredited, at Sandown (2m, good); that rival has the upper hand with further progress plausible; however, this consistent sort should go well. |

11st 12lb |
Won his maiden on soft but is fine on good ground; flattered to finish only 2l off the classy Regent's Stroll last time (2m4f) but that was a fine run and he was clear of the rest; interesting off this mark. |

6th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 179y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Good-ground bumper runner-up who won here (1m7f, soft) last month on his second hurdle start; Regent's Stroll has much stronger form but this unexposed 6yo is bred to be suited by the step up in trip and is open to further improvement; can give another good account. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Raced 11 times over hurdles and plenty of experience is never a bad thing in this race; however, he's won only three of those and finished tailed off behind Doctor Steinberg when 40-1 last time; tongue-tie enlisted. |

2nd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 6f 53y |
11st 10lb |
Won a 3m Wexford handicap (good) off a modest 98 last July; beaten off 12lb higher at Listowel before making spectacular progress to achieve a mark of 135 as a result of a pair of 3m wins at Cork; those were on good/yielding, and these conditions are not certain to suit; if he handles it, stamina will not be a issue. |

Showed some promise in bumpers but hasn't fared so well in two attempts over hurdles, latest 14 months ago; however, booking of Harry Cobden suggests a bigger effort may be on the way. |

15th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 50y Class 4 |

Bumpers were a struggle and at 28-1 he brought up the rear on hurdling debut at Fontwell. |

26th Jan 2025 Soft 2m 1f 162y Class 4 |

Found some improvement in his three bumpers, helping to set the pace on last two occasions, but needs a big step forward on this hurdle debut. |

6th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Went close in Newton Abbot novice hurdle (2m5f, good) for Paul Nicholls last summer but quickly became very disappointing for him; drying ground might aid his cause on today's stable/chase debut but he has a lot more to prove than some of these. |

Well beaten on his last three starts, the last two being his first handicaps (2m5f, soft); something to prove but he was second in a good-ground 2m5f novice hurdle at Newton Abbot last June, and the return to better ground may help; stamina in pedigree and with leading yard; no forlorn hope. |

Interesting to see how he goes in the betting, having been sent off at just 4-1 for last month's debut at Bangor (2m, soft); however, he was tailed off and needs to be an entirely different proposition today. |

Completed a four-timer when winning at Worcester (2m4f, good) in September; well beaten following an 11-week absence at Wetherby (3m, soft) last month and looks a tad high in the weights. |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Front-runner who won four in a row last July-September (2m4f/2m2f, good) and his Newmarket trainer does very well here; however, he went off the boil on his final two outings last year and he's unproven on slow ground. |
16/1 |
