24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Productive spell from August 2024 to April 2025 over hurdles and on the Flat; has had some struggles in a light campaign this season but he showed signs of a revival at Stratford (2m6f, good) last month and has possibilities if he can build on that. |

Productive spell from August 2024 to April 2025 over hurdles and on the Flat; Fontwell win over nearly 2m6f started that sequence but this season's three runs over hurdles were heavy defeats. |

Productive campaign last season over hurdles and on the Flat; however, tailed off towards the end of last year on last two hurdle starts and he wasn't at his best back on the Flat early this month. |

3rd Apr 2025 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Has shown ability on good ground over hurdles and fences but was disappointing when last seen here in November; has since had a wind op but needs to step up if he's to win this. |

Yet to win after nine attempts over hurdles and could do with settling better, which was again evident when pulled up last time over 2m3f; not at all badly treated on his placed efforts should he give himself a chance. |

10st 9lb |
Yet to win after eight attempts over hurdles but frequently placed and made a most encouraging return from a long absence when a staying-on third at Fontwell (2m5f, good) in August; has been given plenty of time to get over that run and he's one of the likelier ones off the same mark back down in distance. |

Ready winner at Bath (2m1f, good to firm) on reappearance and good second under Mason Paetel over C&D (good) eight days later; another bold bid looks on its way. |

10th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 59y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Multiple hurdles winner at up to 3m2f, including on a sound surface; 0-6 over fences but went very close having looked the likely winner at Doncaster (3m2f, good to soft) latest; big player from an unchanged mark, if repeating that effort. |
13/8 |
|
2nd 2 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 3m 2f 1y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Two wins over hurdles last season (3m/3m2f, good/good to soft); has failed to finish in three of his five starts over fences, best run when second at Taunton in December (2m7f, good); could go well but a bit risky. |
13/2 |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 150y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Four-time hurdle winner but he's 0-4 over fences, and he jumped left throughout and was beaten when he fell here (2m7f, heavy) two weeks ago; that was his second non-completion as a chaser and others are preferred. |

Unimproved for the switch to handicaps this year, already backpedalling when the mistakes started to creep in late at Fontwell latest (2m6f, good); insufficiently appealing from 2lb out of the handicap. |

17th Mar 2025 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |

Bumper winner who came good at the fourth attempt in handicaps but pulled up in a Class 4 at Wincanton from out of the weights last time; she was progressing well prior to that and could easily resume progress if back on song. |

Bumper winner; second to Sweet Caryline at Fontwell and went one better when getting up in the nick of time at Plumpton (2m4f, good to soft); up 4lb and add another 1lb for being out of the weights; clearly a contender. |
