Five wins from 43 starts, the most recent at Southwell (1m6f, AW) last January off a mark 10lb higher than today's; bounced back from a disappointing run when fourth of six at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) 17 days ago and has place claims. |

Tailed off at Hexham (2m, good) last month on final run for Ollie Pears and sold for 2,600gns since; however, he was a fair third of six at Sedgefield (2m1f, good to soft) in October; each-way shout if back on song. |

Four Flat wins but he hasn't achieved much at big prices in two handicap hurdles, at 2m1f and 2m7f; no great appeal this time, either. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Hooded when solid third over C&D (good) at the end of last year and scored at Plumpton (about 2m4f, soft) on next start in February; revised mark has seen him held in two subsequent starts but that doesn't tell the whole story as they were seriously competitive series qualifiers; cheekpieces (worn once over hurdles when second here 13 months ago) are reapplied and he needs a firm second look. |

Knocking on the door on good ground this season prior to gaining a deserved win at Plumpton (2m4f, soft) recently; 6lb higher in a more competitive race today but he did it comfortably last time and has solid claims. |

10st 7lb |
He showed very little last year on his three hurdle starts (2m/2m4f); however, he has a lowly opening mark and finished third on four occasions in 3m point-to-points, so is a possible improver now up in trip on chase debut. |

Strong form when runner-up at Kempton (1m4f, AW) in May 2024; lightly raced since and unable to get competitive, most recently in Newmarket handicap (1m1f, good); it's possible he'll still be the main threat to Empirestateofmind, however; wears a first-time visor. |
