26th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 162y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Scraped home in his first bumper (heavy) but impressed on soft ground in a Berkshire Winter Million event at Windsor and then ran sixth in the Champion Bumper at Cheltenham (good to soft), where he got outpaced off steady fractions before running on well up the hill; easily the best of these in that scene and could take high rank in novice hurdles. |

12th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
The dam is out of a half-sister to Gold Cup winner Lord Windermere; all out to win on heavy at Newton Abbot in October but had the runner-up further behind when decisively following up in Berkshire Winter Million event at Windsor in January (soft); impressing on typical mid-winter ground can count for nothing here but he's hugely unexposed. |

9-2, beat Supreme Malinas by a short head to make a winning debut at Newton Abbot (2m1f, heavy) in October; the runner-up was a Listed winner next time and the third has also scored since; on the shortlist. |

7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 0y Class 1 |
11st 9lb |
Listed bumper winner who is 2-2 over hurdles this season; kept on well to pip Park Princess in Haydock Listed race (2m3f, good to soft) in December but was probably second best on merit there and has to concede 5lb to her old rival here. |

8th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 216y Class 1 |
11st 6lb |
Consistent rules form features a Listed win at Huntingdon where she collared Roses All The Way near the finish; respectable third in Berkshire Winter Million event at Windsor (again on soft ground) most recently; represents last year's winning connections and has solid claims. |

12st 0lb |
Point/bumper winner who made it 2-2 over hurdles when beating subsequent Dovecote winner Klub De Reve under a penalty at Exeter (2m, good to soft); however, he was turned over at odds-on at Leicester later in December and needs to bounce back. |

29th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 122y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
All four runs have been on soft or heavy ground; Irish point winner who had form figures of 312 in bumpers last season and he was progressive in that sphere; returns after wind surgery but he could have a good future over hurdles and he's an interesting contender. |
100/30 |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |
11st 8lb |
Tongue tied the last twice; completed his hat-trick in a 2m4f Grade 2 at Cheltenham on Trials' Day (soft; fine on good) but only sixth in the Albert Bartlett; however, he ran well for a long way in fairness only to wilt up the hill and this flatter track could be a better fit; not ruled out. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Has left his bumper form behind over hurdles and completed his hat-trick in a 2m4f Grade 2 here on Trials' Day (first run in a tongue-tie; soft; fine on good); however, that was by the skin of his teeth and in a race that hasn't been that influential when it comes to the Festival; however he fares, he'll be a nice chaser next year. |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 56y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Won at Ascot (2m3f, good) in November on second hurdle start and followed up in Newbury novice (2m4f, good to soft); went close in a bumper on soft; his jumping may improve and it remains to be seen where his limitations lie, but others have a bit more substance to their form; tongue-tie added. |

11st 7lb |
Point, bumper and dual novice hurdle winner who was second in a Grade 2 at Kelso (2m2f, good to soft) in February; however, he was just over 6l behind Montemares at Kelso, so has work to do today. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 25y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Point/bumper winner who made it 2-3 over hurdles with win at Catterick (2m3f, good to soft); others have achieved more but sole defeat in this sphere came behind a classy type; could have more left in the tank. |

21st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 66y Class 4 |

3m point and heavy-ground bumper winner who scored on hurdle debut at Lingfield (2m, good to soft) in November; another good run when second of three at Haydock (1m7f, good to soft), when no match for subsequent Grade 1 runner-up; the step up in trip could be a good move; leading claims. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 170y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
0-4 over fences this term but far from disgraced on a couple of starts and ran respectably when fourth back over hurdles at Plumpton (3m1f, good) last month; yet to win in handicap company but drops in class returned to fences and warrants respect. |
7/2 |

19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Record of 0-4 switched to fences this term, albeit far from disgraced on two occasions; 2-6 over hurdles and finished a creditable second at Plumpton (2m4f) last April in most recent attempt; each-way possibilities. |
9/1 |

3rd 6 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Younger than most of these and posted a career best when second at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) in February; stiffer task in C&D non-handicap next time; unexposed over this trip and beyond, and drying ground may suit (last win came on good); definitely of interest in first-time headgear. |

6th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Point winner; made his handicap debut at Chepstow (extended 2m3f, good) 17 days ago, following wind surgery and with tongue tied, and he raised his game dramatically to justify favouritism in nine-runner race by 8l under Callum Pritchard; up 9lb but good chance to score again. |

Gently progressive in class 5 handicaps of late, again travelling well in posting a near-2l second at Taunton latest (2m3f, heavy); respected accordingly, but more needed up in class against in-form rivals. |

Runner-up in soft-ground bumper at Exeter bumper last December but down the field in three hurdle races, including when tailed off at Exeter (2m, heavy) last month; still unexposed but she needs a transformation upped in trip on handicap debut. |

Signed off for Paul Nicholls in good form, winning a 2m3f good-ground chase at Fontwell where he was in front a good way out before holding on; just 4lb higher; bought for £40,000. |

Still a maiden but looks set to make a better chaser after finishing a close second over C&D three weeks ago (good); stayed on well that day from off the pace and might well go one better. |
