9th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 161y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Made it two wins in a row when scoring on handicap debut at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) in October and improved form in defeat the next twice, most recently third in 4yo Grade 3 at Fairyhouse (2m, yielding) in November; others may have greater potential but he might not be far away. |

held up in last but in touch with leaders, going okay when stumbled badly and lost action 3 out, soon pulled up |

30th Nov 2024 Yielding 2m 0f 0y |
11st 3lb |
Drew nicely clear to make winning handicap debut at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) last month; took a giant leap forward when splitting Givemefive and Bottler'secret at Cheltenham; had the fitness edge that day but is worth his place in the field. |

15th Jul 2026 Firm 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
Multiple winner in this code at up to 1m4f, including on fast ground; usually held up; has had four starts from 1m-1m2f since a break, running reasonably consistently in defeat; drops 2lb and back again in grade; player. |

23rd Jun 2026 Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
On a losing run but finished well to be close up in 1m2f/1m handicaps at Leicester (good to firm); she can cope with good to soft and should run well. |
4/1 |

5th 6 (8) |
9th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 53y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
On a losing sequence but she really caught the eye when a running-on third of 14 in 1m2f handicap here two weeks ago; up 2lb but very much one to consider. |

5th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Made all to win C&D (good) maiden in May, his fourth hurdling start, and was beaten only about 1l when third to Crown Of India on handicap debut at Worcester (2m, good) later that month; may still have more to offer but has shown a tendency to hang and/or race too freely (ran out three starts ago), so comes with risk. |

3rd 1 |
28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Has his quirks (ran out two runs back) but he made all to floor a subsequent Skelton winner in a 2m maiden at Market Rasen (good) and enters handicaps with an unexposed profile; respected. |
2/1 |

1st 2 |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Lightly raced and headstrong 7yo who inexplicably jinked right and ran out at fourth fight when in front at Hereford last month; however, he was second to a useful rival over C&D (good) on his penultimate appearance in March 2025 and has good form claims if he behaves himself. |

23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 0y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
0-10 over hurdles; went down fighting when second here (3m2f, good) last March but we haven't seen him since and this drop back in trip may not be ideal. |
10/1 |

2nd 7 |
27th Mar 2025 Good 3m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Continues to fall in the weights but he's had a few chances now in handicaps and is not progressing. |

21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
On a good mark now and was seemingly back in good form when close fourth of 11 at Chepstow (2m7f, soft) in February; tended to jump left and was below that level without cheekpieces at Carlisle (3m) last month but has possibilities if combination of drop back in trip, first-time blinkers and return to a left-handed track has desired effect. |
10/1 |

4th 4 |
8th Mar 2026 Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Got off the mark over fences at Wetherby (3m) in December 2024; little encouragement this term until fourth of 11 in 3m Chepstow handicap 23 days ago; this lightly raced 9yo is not out of this if able to build on that recent effort. |
5/1 |

4th 4 |
13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Yet to strike form after three runs this season (cheekpieces added two starts ago); back on a good mark now and drops in grade today but still needs to up his game; suited by soft ground; unraced on heavy. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Won two in a row in the autumn (2m2f/2m, good to soft/soft) and, after a couple of respectable fifth placings, he was a close second at Stratford (2m2f, good) last month; in the mix if seeing out this longer trip; the hood worn on his last four starts is left off. |

2nd 6 |
28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Scored twice in the autumn, including over C&D, and comes here after a respectable fifth of 14 in 2m1f Carisle handicap last month; in the mix off a 3lb lower mark. |
9/2 |

5th 3 |
16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Has progressed since wind surgery early last year, winning handicaps at Stratford (2m2f, good to soft) and Uttoxeter before decent fifth at Newbury (2m, good to soft) latest; 10lb higher than last winning mark but solid chance. |
