9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Won by a neck in this race (good) last year off 1lb lower, having been third in it the year before; 33-1 sixth at Aintree last month suggested he's working his way back to that level, so has to be considered seriously. |
8/1 |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |
11st 9lb |
Won a good prize at Haydock (3m, good) last May; pulled up on return to action there in November but better when fourth of seven to Ma Shantou at Cheltenham (3m, good) on New Year's Day; being eased another 2lb can only help this C&D scorer but he requires a big career best as a 10yo. |

10th May 2025 Good 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Pulled up (bled from the nose) at Cheltenham Festival in March but quickly bounced back with creditable second to Long Draw there (3m, good) last month; on a tough mark now but was placed in this race last year and probably won't be far away. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 5f 201y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Made a bad mistake at the fourth fence at Newbury in December and soon pulled up; clearcut winner of small-field novice handicaps at Aintree (2m4f, soft) and Windsor (3m, soft; first-time cheekpieces) in his other two chases and he shaped in the latter as if stamina was a strong suit. |

1st 2 |
16th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 60y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Made a bad mistake at the fourth fence and soon pulled up at Newbury last month; however, prior to that he won in good style on his chase debut at Aintree (2m4f, soft) and he should be fine now back up in trip; likely player if minimising the blunders in first-time cheekpieces. |

25th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 3m 2f 127y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Struggled in the Pertemps Final and his previous run was no better; however, he beat recent Cheltenham winner Long Draw at Warwick earlier this season and followed that with two excellent seconds at up to 3m; if back in that sort of form he'd be a live contender. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Runner-up off this mark at Newbury (3m, soft) last February but he's not hit the same level since and was beaten 19l back at Newbury (third of nine) last month; overall record is now 1-15 and others are more persuasive. |
7/1 |
|
3rd 5 |
27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 57y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Consistent over hurdles last season, with best effort a C&D second (soft) just over a year ago; disappointing over fences this term (three attempts; blinkers tried last time) and this switch back to hurdling needs to rekindle his enthusiasm; usual cheekpieces back on today. |
20/1 |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Consistent over hurdles last season; ran well to a point on chasing debut at Bangor (3m, heavy) in November and may have found the good ground too lively when safely held at Doncaster in December; not out of this if change of headgear gives him a boost. |

16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Narrow winner at Carlisle in April (2m3.5f, good; second had won two previous races); has not fared quite as well since, including with a visor tried at Uttoxeter last time; regular cheekpieces back on here but he needs to bounce back now back up in trip (stays 3m well). |

8th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 3 |

2m3f success at Carlisle in April (good), his fifth career win; not at his best the last twice and a visor replaces cheekpieces. |

14th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 3 |

Five-time winner, the latest over 2m3f at Carlisle in April (good); below par when last seen out a month ago and needs to bounce back. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y |
11st 6lb |
Smart dual-purpose type won a nice Flat prize over 2m a fortnight ago; came off worse in a couple of 3m clashes with Happy Jacky last year, but not by much, including when beaten a head in the corresponding race; relishes good ground. |

1st 5 (3) |
26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 76y |
9st 2lb |
Dual-purpose; signed off last season with a solid effort in the Cesarewitch at Newmarket (2m2f, gd-fm); may have needed the run over an inadequate 1m6f here last month; sharper now and moves up in trip; beaten in this last year off 8lb lower but respected nonetheless. |

Drew 8l clear in Cesarewitch trial at Newmarket in September (2m2f, good); couldn't follow up in the real thing when sixth of 19; up 10lb compared to his last win and he has never won after an absence before. |

4th May 2026 Good 3m 5f 24y Class 3 |
12st 2lb |
Well beaten all five starts last season, the last three times in valuable chases for new stable since February; plummeting down the weights and will appreciate this ease in grade but needs a revival. |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 7f 176y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Seemingly nothing like the force of old; not proven beyond 3m either, with heavy defeats on his only two attempts at 3m1f or 3m2f; the former was on latest start when beaten 46l at 150-1 in the Ultima at Cheltenham and all this season's form suggests he will be a big outsider again. |

28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |

Well handicapped on best form for previous yards but needs to stage a revival on debut for Chris Honour; resurgent efforts in January/March have not been built on; sold for £23,000 since last run; market may offer further guidance. |

9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Back with Nicky Henderson last season and showed he retained a chunk of ability on first two starts, latterly when seventh of 24 in the Pertemps Final at Cheltenham (3m, good); made the running at Aintree (22-1) four weeks ago but ended pulled up; remains well handicapped on old form but there's been no win since January 2023. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |

Back with Nicky Henderson after last season with Laura Morgan; had marks in the 140s at his peak and has shown he still retains a good chunk of that ability in his two outings after a year off, latterly finishing seventh of 24 to Supremely West in the Pertemps at Cheltenham (3m, good). |

20th Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Useful when trained in Ireland but generally very disappointing for current stable since the autumn; ought to have coped much better with the soft ground when pulled up at Cartmel last month; others preferred. |

Useful performer in Ireland back in the day but has regressed sharply and very opposable on exploits for current yard. |
