2nd Nov 2025 Good 2m 4f 198y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Won three consecutive hurdle races (2m-2m3f) for Olly Murphy last summer/autumn and placed on first two starts for Adam Nicol (both 2m3f); pulled up with breathing issue in February (3m) but had wind op during break, and his Irish point win in spring 2024 bodes well for his chasing prospects. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Two good-ground novice wins in 2024-25 (2m, 2m5f); stamina for 2m7f still about to be put to the test when unseating at Worcester exactly a year ago, but two runs after didn't advertise his staying credentials. |

Record of 3122231 over hurdles, the first four occasions at Worcester; justified favouritism in 2m5f novice contest at Warwick most recently; likely to stay this new trip and holds solid claims. |

11st 10lb |
Showed promise in the second of his two bumpers and he started his hurdling career with a creditable third of 13 at Wetherby (2m3f, good to soft) in October; failed to build on that at Uttoxeter but this 5yo is still unexposed and he needs watching in market now upped to 3m on handicap debut. |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Progressive in handicap chases last spring for Warren Greatrex (2m2f/2m3f, good/soft) and last month's third on stable debut in a hunter chase at Carlisle (2m5f, good to soft), after an absence, can be upgraded as he hung left at that right-handed track; has plenty to find but this 7yo is very lightly raced and, now going left-handed, could go well at sizeable odds. |
25/1 |
|
3rd 1 |
8th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 198y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Low-mileage 7yo who opened account for Warren Greatrex with front-running success in Ffos Las handicap (2m3f, soft) last April; changed hands for £82,000 the following month and now makes his stable/hunter chase debut; could be hard to beat if fully tuned up. |

Still early days over fences and under rules; returning from a wind operation when runner-up at Fontwell (2m2f, good) and he stays this longer trip; in the mix. |

4th Dec 2024 Heavy 3m 0f 58y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
2m4f point winner; promising third at Cheltenham in the first of his three bumpers and he wasn't beaten far when fifth on hurdling debut at Wetherby (2m3f, good to soft) in October; that was behind a useful prospect and has each-way claims if he can build on that over this longer trip. |

2m4f point winner who was a promising third of 15 on bumper debut at Cheltenham (2m, good to soft) last October; two lesser runs followed but it's possible he'll get back on track following a break; not ruled out on hurdle debut for trainer who won this race last year. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |

6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |

Placed on consecutive starts in cheekpieces here (2m4f/2m3f) in December/January and again ran well when close second in first-time visor at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) on latest outing; contests this competitive race from a career-high mark but still enters calculations. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 125y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Suffered two flops in his last three races but the latest was in the National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham; both wins since December have been here (3m1f/3m4f), latterly in the 11-runner Grand National Trial that always takes some winning; if on a going day then he would have strong claims, for all that softer ground would be preferred. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 5f 201y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Impressive in a useful handicap at Haydock (extended 3m1f, soft) and, following a Doncaster flop, even better when he emerged on top in the Grand National Trial back at Haydock (extended 3m4f, good to soft); up another 6lb but little to prove regarding stamina and should have more to give. |

14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 4f 97y Class 1 |

Impressive when winning the Tommy Whittle here (extended 3m1f, soft) in December and on that evidence today's 10lb higher mark may not be beyond this unexposed 7yo; he's a lot better than he showed at Doncaster (3m, soft) three weeks ago but has something to prove following that flop. |
