5th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Fair hurdler who made a satisfactory chasing debut here (2m, good to soft) in December and created good impression when readily winning a competitive Windsor handicap (2m6f, soft) three weeks ago; does not look harshly treated by a 6lb rise and commands respect. |
4/5 |

16th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 6f 50y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Two-time hurdle winner, the latest at Fontwell (2m1f, good to soft) in November, and ran respectably in the face of a very tough task on last month's chase debut at Lingfield (2m, good to soft); has hinted he could be suited by this sort of trip and he's not ruled out now back in a handicap. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
2-16 in handicaps, raised to 3m here (good) for last three outings; ridden by Cameron Johnstone-Baker last month on last two starts, runner-up before winning easily with a career best four weeks ago (Miss Tiara third); 8lb higher today but needs plenty of respect. |

Sole win (from 22 races) in March 2025; nearly all minor honours this term, runner-up under Cameron Johnstone-Baker over C&D (good) last time; strong each-way claims again. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Well held by Chuggy on her chase debut/reappearance at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in October but she was by no means done with when coming down at the last at Fakenham (2m5f, good to soft) three weeks ago; got a 1lb nudge for that and should be competitive if it hasn't left a mark. |

Dual 2m course winner over hurdles, most recently off 2lb lower; shaped as though her chase debut was needed this month when back from a break and her pedigree suggests she may improve for this longer trip. |

25th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
All four wins at about this trip in 2023, including over C&D; not totally clear whether she's still the same mare since back from an absence but she gave Moon Over The Sea some grief at Windsor (about 1m3f, good to firm) on her recent return to turf and has another good run in her. |

Hasn't lived up to market expectations since switched to handicap hurdles; not bred for fences but he must be thought capable of better and this isn't strong; cheekpieces tried after one run in blinkers. |

Yet to play a serious part in four handicaps, despite being a short price for the latest two; interesting to see if his supporters keep the faith now blinkers are added; 8lb wrong. |

18th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |

Struck form with two 2m hurdle wins in December (Ludlow claimer and Hereford handicap) but three lesser efforts have followed, including a well-held third of five at Ludlow last month; still 4lb higher than for his last success and something to prove on this switch to chasing; reapplied cheekpieces replace a visor. |
