18th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 110y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
He's had his ups and downs in a short chasing career and his jumping can lack fluency but he made it 2-5 in this sphere when making virtually all to win at Newbury (2m, good to soft) four weeks ago; won on soft ground over hurdles; major player if things click again today. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 92y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Unseated rider at halfway on this course last month; in and out overall but he would have a chance on his clearcut reappearance success over this distance at Chepstow and drying ground would not inconvenience him. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 187y Class 3 |

Campaigned only at about 2m; has failed to back up the form of his Chepstow reappearance win and, contrary to parts of his pedigree, doesn't shape as if he's crying out for this new trip. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 110y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Form has gone rather awry in last three outings but he has been progressive otherwise, culminating in 2m4f handicap wins at Cheltenham and Newbury in the autumn; may rebound and run a good race. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |

Largely progressive but came up short off top weight in the Lanzarote when bidding for a handicap hat-trick and needs to prove current mark isn't beyond him; unseated rider three out in 3m Grade 2 last time. |

14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Won big-field handicaps at Cheltenham (2m4f, good to soft) and Newbury (2m4f, soft) in the autumn; having gone up the weights he was merely mid-division at Kempton (2m5f, good) last month and is untested at today's trip, but this lightly raced 6yo may still have more to offer and is not discounted. |

11st 6lb |
Six-race maiden but was placed in a Listed hurdle early last season and shaped encouragingly in a good race on his reappearance; disappointing when only 13-8 for a maiden hurdle last time (after wind surgery) but reportedly bled from the nose; has something to prove on ground this dry but has to be of interest on chasing/handicap debut. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Struck in first-time cheekpieces at Perth (2m4f, soft) in October and returned to winning ways at Ayr (extended 2m4f, soft) in January; only seventh back there since and now swaps the cheekpieces for first-time blinkers; below par on his previous outing around 3m but wasn't obviously beaten for stamina. |

23rd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) at Perth (2m4f, soft) in October and returned to winning ways over this C&D (soft) last month; had 6l to spare from Eloi Du Puy last time and holds strong claims up 7lb. |

11st 0lb |
Came good in first-time cheekpieces at Perth (2m4f, soft; front pair clear) in October, but he's been well held in both subsequent runs (2m3f/2m7f); still lightly raced but has bit to prove again and he needs to rediscover his spark. |

Modest run last time but wasn't far away in his two previous runs after a wind operation and there are races in him off this mark. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
His three qualifying starts were over a trip that looked short of ideal; couldn't take a significant step forward when upped to 2m4f at Uttoxeter in June (good); returns from a break and wind surgery needing improvement to defy this mark. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Regained the winning thread at Leicester (2m6f) in January but back on the regress since, having performed below market expectations at Ffos Las (only third of four finishers) and Leicester (ran dismally). |

6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 25y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Added a second course win when back on track in cheekpieces over 2m6f (good to soft) in January but, while running creditably off 5lb higher, failed to quite match that level when third at Ffos Las (3m, heavy) last month; respected back at this venue on better ground; now tried in blinkers, with Rian Corcoran's claim a plus. |
9/4 |

3rd 3 |
20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |

Chase career started well with two wins (2m4f; heavy/soft) and got it back on track when making it 2-3 at Leicester a month ago, winning by 2.5l (2m6f, good to soft); has form claims off 5lb higher but some concerns that he pulled up on previous visit here. |

10st 12lb |
Won at Warwick (2m3f, good to soft) and then ran well behind next-time-out winner at Sedgefield (2m4f, good to soft); a chance on all that and his Ludlow run in February was too bad to be true. |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Came good over hurdles at eighth attempt on seasonal debut at Warwick (2m3f, good to soft) last month; ran well behind next-time-out winner at Sedgefield (2m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago; must be considered. |

Came good over hurdles at eighth attempt, on seasonal debut at Warwick (2m3f, good to soft) 12 days ago; 5lb rise does not look excessive and he could quite plausibly have more improvement to come. |

31st Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Hardly brings compelling form claims and heavy ground wasn't an obvious excuse when a remote fourth at Hereford on chase debut (2m5f); essentially disappointing given the promise of his point runs. |
5/1 |
|
4th 8 |
11th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Solid effort when runner-up in his second Irish point (3m, heavy) in 2024 but he couldn't land a gamble when beaten 40l in a Lingfield handicap hurdle (2m7f, soft) just under a year ago; two starts over hurdles this term have been poor but needs monitoring in the market on this chase debut under rules. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 8 |
20th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Runner-up in a point but has form figures of 0989F over hurdles and those last two runs have been at big prices in handicaps (2m/2m3f); has stamina on his dam's side but he needs to show a lot more on this switch to a staying trip. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Won a bumper for Paul Nicholls and added a 2m4f handicap at Perth in October (soft) on his first run for Olly Murphy; ran well afterwards over 2m5f, and 3m was perhaps too far when last seen three months ago; he could be handicapped on the high side but capable of having some say. |

18th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 2 |

Solid record (over 2m4f/2m5f) since joining new stable and switched to handicaps, winning at Perth then placed at Cheltenham and Kempton; has given the impression this new trip is worth exploring; in the mix. |

21st Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
0-4 over hurdles for Paul Nicholls last season but signed off for him with pretty good second in Ffos Las maiden (2m4f, soft) in April and might have more to offer in handicaps for Olly Murphy this term (same owner). |
