10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y |
11st 6lb |
Second to the top-class Kargese in a Grade 1 juvenile event in 2024; fair form on the Flat year; has become regressive over jumps; failed to take to chasing last winter. |

15th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Four-time hurdle winner (2m-extended 2m4f); has returned from a break with two solid Flat seconds but disappointed over hurdles at Fakenham in May in between; player if back to his best. |
5/1 |

2nd 4 (2) |
18th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 68y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won twice over hurdles (2m/2m4f, good) and twice on the Flat in 2025; looked as good as ever when second on the Flat over C&D (AW) last month, after a break, and is respected. |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Lacks consistency but capitalised on a reduced mark when ending a near three-year drought at Ayr (extended 2m4f, soft) in April, but has failed to reproduce that effort since and the 6lb rise is not the chief concern; however, he could still go well if at his best. |
7/1 |

4th 4 |
19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Made the most of a reduced mark when justifying support and gaining a first win since 2023 when scoring at Ayr (2m4f, soft) last month; remains well treated on past form back up 6lb and likely to be in the mix again. |
11/2 |

1st 8 |
17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Without a win since 2023 but he has dropped to a dangerous mark and ran surprisingly well over 3m last time at Wincanton when all his form is over shorter; goes on soft. |

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. |

10th May 2025 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 1 |
12st 0lb |
Has won both races since the tongue-tie joined cheekpieces, latterly making all for a narrow success over C&D three weeks ago (good); a 5lb rise isn't the end of the world but dominating this bigger field with likely pressure up front could be challenging. |

12st 0lb |
Posted personal best in first-time tongue-strap five weeks ago, making all in four-runner race at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft); that was his fourth hurdles win, and with more improvement possible he should go well again. |

26th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 53y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Has patchy profile but he's feasibly treated on best form and was disputing second when he fell at the last at Taunton (2m, soft) in final run last season; returns after almost a year off but conditions are no problem and he needs a close look on first run for Olly Murphy. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Won comfortably off reduced mark at Ludlow (2m5f, good) in March and has also performed well on both outings since, more recently when fourth at Sandown (2m4f, good) nine days ago; ran poorly on only previous visit to Fakenham but still enters calculations. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 178y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Exploited reduced mark when winning quite comfortably at Ludlow last month and was one of two to pull clear of the others when second at Ascot (also 2m5f, good) ten days later; no surprise if he features. |
10/1 |

2nd 7 |
29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 146y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Won sole start here; two years without a win after that but, with tongue-tie removed and second-time cheekpieces, he then obliged comfortably at Ludlow (2m5f, good) ten days ago; back up 6lb but has returned to serious calculations. |

9th Jun 2026 Good 2m 2f 0y |
11st 4lb |
Two of her three wins over hurdles have come at Tramore; a long way below her best in a similar race to this at that course in April; hard to fancy following remote seventh behind Rich Belief at Wexford. |
8/1 |

7th 2 |
27th May 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 0y |
11st 8lb |
Two of her three wins over hurdles have come at Tramore; however, she was a long way below her best in a similar race to this at that course last month; that run was prefaced by weak form at Dundalk during the winter. |
4/1 |
