16th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
1-8 over hurdles, up in trip when winning at Lingfield (2m7f, soft) in December; with two major backward steps since, a lot seemingly depends on his subsequent wind surgery and today's first tongue-tie. |
6/1 |

8th 9 |
26th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Listed bumper runner-up who was suited by the step up in trip when winning at Lingfield (2m7f, soft) in December on his third handicap start; merely mid-division at Newbury (3m, good to soft) since but not written off in view of the promise shown on his penultimate start. |

14th Jan 2026 Good 3m 0f 57y Class 4 |

Opened his hurdles account in similar event at Lingfield (2m7f, soft) last time; remains unexposed at this sort of distance and bumper form suggests he has the potential to do better still; shortlisted. |

24th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Won a Listed bumper here last season; tends to travel too strongly for his own good (races keenly) and can finish weakly, as was the case when a beaten favourite on recent hurdling debut at Uttoxeter (2m); however, a first-time hood and the possibility of a solid gallop to chase means he can't be discounted. |
11/4 |
|
14th 4 |
12th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
It wasn't a strong Listed race that he won here in November (good; coped with softer in points) but he had loads more in hand than the narrow margin would suggest; turned over since at odds-on at Huntingdon but a blind eye can be turned to that as he was far too gassy off tepid fractions; could be seen in a different light here should they crack on at a solid pace and top trainer has been talking up his chances. |

26th Oct 2024 Good 2m 0f 87y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Narrow Uttoxeter winner (soft) who went down by only a neck when penalised on stable debut at Sedgefield (good); tongue-tie now added; this is a big step up from those two venues. |
12/1 |

2nd 1 |
23rd Sep 2024 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |

Finished well to record 16-1 success for Paul Collins at Uttoxeter (good) in July; has 7lb penalty to shoulder on this stable debut but still features prominently in calculations. |

9th Jul 2024 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |

8th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Won over hurdles at Hereford in May and followed up on the Flat over this C&D (good to firm); it's disconcerting he was pulled up on his chase debut at Stratford three weeks ago but he may well bounce back and play a leading role reverting to this code. |
10/11 |

16th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 213y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Made all over hurdles at Hereford (2m, good) last month and followed up on the Flat 17 days ago; not bred for fences but evidently in good nick; no surprise if he makes a bold bid on chasing debut. |
9/2 |
|
1st 3 (5) |
30th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Hurdle/bumper winner (won 2m novice handicap hurdle on latest outing), but perhaps not as effective on the Flat, although was beaten only 1.75l when third of seven off a 2lb higher mark at Chelmsford in February (1m6f); a possible. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Not at his best in competitive handicap hurdles at Sandown in March and Aintree in April, but he'd previously won well at Newbury (2m, good to soft; probably stays 2m4f); began his career in points (1-1) and has a jumps pedigree so there's a reasonable chance he'll make a chaser; respected in first-time headgear. |
3/1 |

14th 5 |
10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 103y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Returned to form with a bang when seeing off the reopposing Melon at Newbury (2m, good to soft) in February; has a quick turnaround as an excuse for a lesser effort in the Imperial Cup at Sandown (2m, soft) one week later, while his trainer reported to the stewards that he'll be suited by a flatter track and a quicker surface, both of which he should get today; not dismissed. |
12/1 |

8th 7 |
7th Mar 2026 Soft 1m 7f 216y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Returned to form with a bang when dropped back in trip and a well-backed winner at Newbury (2m, good to soft) last Saturday; now 8lb higher in a much hotter race but he's unexposed at this sort of distance and his stable is in tremendous form; has also won on soft ground; not ruled out. |

1st May 2026 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Ex-Gavin Cromwell; likely needed first run since April 2025 when beaten 28l on British/yard debut; middle leg of subsequent five-timer was a 6l defeat of Practice Run in a Howick intermediate (soft); untried over rules fences, but versatile as regards track and going types. |

13th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Three good runs at Lingfield this year, including a 1m4f classified win; not at her best here three weeks ago (1m6f, good to firm) but this is weak and she is one to consider. |
100/30 |

4th 8 (9) |
22nd May 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
17 races, finishing well in a 1m4f classified at Lingfield (AW) in March for her only win; second there off today's mark at same track (2m) last time was her best form under Flat rules and she has some turf form in the bumper and hurdle spheres; not entirely ruled out on Flat turf debut. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 4 |

21st Apr 2026 Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Has a tendency to race too freely and is usually held up at the back; struggled to get competitive at Chepstow in February and now 0-6 over hurdles but interesting if judged on some of his form towards the end of last year; not out of this if first-time cheekpieces have positive effect. |
14/1 |

8th 9 |
21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 3 |
10st 3lb |
0-5 over hurdles and his tendency to race too freely remains a nagging concern but his fourth of 15 on handicap debut at Cheltenham (2m, soft) in November was a good effort, and he caught the eye making a big forward move from the rear before his effort petered out at Doncaster (2m, good) in December; hood removed; tongue-tie added; shortlisted. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 33y Class 4 |

First-flight unseat on hurdle debut but showed ability in bumpers and did likewise when fourth of nine at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in May on his second hurdle start; probably needs a bigger run today but not ruled out. |

Came good in 16-runner handicap at Huntingdon (3m1f, good) in November, his eighth attempt, and returned from break with two good efforts this spring, latterly when third (just behind Jafimgoso) at Southwell (3m, good) three weeks ago; another to consider. |

Outpaced when 11l behind second-placed Getaway With You on handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, heavy) before devouring the near-2f longer distance at Ffos Las (heavy); sharper track than either of those isn't necessarily a plus, but this latest step up in trip is and a 6lb rise looks about right. |
