15th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
It's been a struggle in some competitive handicaps but he ran well enough here at the National meeting (behind Ike Sport) to merit some attention; others still preferred. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 12lb |
Landed a notable handicap at Chepstow (2m3f, good; off just 1lb lower) in the autumn; not in anything like the same form since, always behind at the Cheltenham Festival (2m5f) most recently; other preferred. |
66/1 |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 1 |
10st 13lb |
Landed a notable prize at Chepstow (near 2m4f, good; 3lb higher today) in October but failed to show his form in his three starts since; Sean Bowen rides him for the first time since Chepstow; he'd still be a surprise winner. |

24th Feb 2026 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Very much enjoyed the run of the race when making all over 1m6f here 13 days ago; may not have the same luxury this time, but is just 3lb higher and remains unexposed in staying handicaps on the AW. |

1st 2 (2) |
11th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Useful jumper; 25lb higher when joining this yard and, after five defeats at big prices, he's run well to finish third at Southwell (1m4f) and Wolverhampton (1m6f) in last two starts; should go well again and he could be a big factor if he gets a good pace. |
9/2 |

3rd 5 (7) |
3rd Feb 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Useful jumper; 25lb higher when joining this yard and, after five defeats at big prices, the money came for him at Southwell 17 days ago (1m4f); fared better in third on that occasion and he's handicapped to go well. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Ex-Nicky Henderson; just 1-10 over hurdles and has struggled with consistency but he ran well to finish third at Hereford (3m2f; first-time blinkers) last month; ties in with Dwight K Schrute on that form and has claims if he can back that up. |
9/2 |

3rd 3 |
18th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Ex-Nicky Henderson inmate who struggles with consistency; disappointing in his two runs for this yard but he's on a good mark should blinkers trigger something (he ran one good race when cheekpieces were tried). |
12/1 |

14th Jan 2026 Good 3m 0f 57y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Proved unable to sustain early progress for previous yard but ran creditably over C&D last spring; dropped away on stable/seasonal debut, perhaps needing the run; check the market signals. |
