Won at Ffos Las (1m2f, good to soft) and Sandown (1m2f, good) last summer, but he wasn't able to build on those victories in three subsequent starts; absent since October but has place claims on this reappearance. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Made it 2-3 for Joe Tizzard when scoring back from another break at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good; 100-30) two weeks ago; up 5lb but that was a comfortable win from off the pace and this step back up in trip should be fine (first hurdle win was over 2m4f); big player. |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
First run for Joe Tizzard when justifying market confidence at Wincanton (2m4f, good) in March last year and unlikely he gave his true running when well beaten after a 7lb rise at Taunton in November; could be given another chance, though lengthy breaks have become a feature in his profile. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Stratford (2m, good) winner in October off 4lb lower and possibly bettered that when a close third at Wincanton (2m4f, soft) last month, before appearing to find the drop back to 2m a little sharp at Taunton last time; more likely needed again. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |

Dual hurdle winner including over C&D (good); last success was off a similar mark at Plumpton in February but she's been disappointing in both runs since; hurdle record is now 2-14 and has something to prove after another break. |

28th Sep 2024 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Won three on the trot over 2m/2m1f last summer (good/good to soft); may have needed the race after a break and wind surgery when last of five at Newton Abbot (2m1f, soft) last time; better ground should suit as well. |
7/1 |

9th Sep 2024 Soft 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Completed a hat-trick when pipping Karannelle in this race a year ago and looked back in good form when close fourth over C&D (good); slightly disappointing later in June on latest outing but seems quite versatile regarding ground and features prominently in calculations; had wind op in July. |

11st 1lb |
0-9 under rules; bettered poor stable debut when respectable sixth in first-time cheekpieces at Hereford (2m, good) three weeks ago but needs to take another good step forward here; seems best on good/good to firm ground. |
25/1 |

24th May 2024 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Well beaten on chasing debut in November (only start for Laura Morgan) and also struggled when switched back to hurdling for current stable in March; needs to get career back on track but combination of first-time cheekpieces. refitted tongue-tie and return to good ground can aid his cause. |

Gained last three wins over C&D but they were on good ground; failed to beat a rival on heavy going here (race won by El Gavilan) last time; forecast conditions look unfavourable. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Dominated from the front over C&D (good) in May and has largely remained in good form since; slightly disappointing when well-held fourth in recent selling handicap at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good) but still enters calculations. |

Dominated from the front at Ffos Las (2m, good) in May and has largely remained in good form since; well held when second in selling handicap at Stratford (2m2f, good) this month but the winner has performed well in much stronger company since; probably won't be far away. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
In excellent form over fences since undergoing a second breathing operation, scoring at Wincanton (2m4f) in February before a clear second of seven over that C&D last month; up 2lb but that form is working out well so he's a big player. |
5/2 |

2nd 6 |
1st Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Pulled up in his first two starts this season but he returned after another wind operation with a win over C&D (good to soft; tongue-tie added; Hatos second) in February; up 6lb but he remains feasibly treated and has claims if he can back up that last run. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Went close here (about 2m, good to soft) in December 2024 but he's 0-9 over fences and his two runs this term have been troubling; has his first start following wind surgery, with a tongue-tie joining the cheekpieces of latest start; needs a revival. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 1f 77y Class 5 |

Hasn't got a lot going in his previous four chases but well handicapped on some of his hurdle form and didn't run too badly in that discipline last time. |

4th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |

Very opposable on this season's exploits but he has dropped to a dangerous mark and this 6yo could stage a revival at some point; worth checking the betting. |

16th Sep 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |

Yet to add to his juvenile hurdle win in 2022 and has not shown a great deal on two appearances for new stable this spring (2m4f/2mf); swaps blinkers for first-time visor here. |
