12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 82y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Has done well since raised to 2m4f and narrowly beaten at Ascot on his penultimate start by one who was well handicapped; beaten too far out at Uttoxeter last time to blame the longer trip (2m7f) but definite chance at this level if he's back on his game. |
100/30 |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Has a solid record (1212) since upped to about 2m4f, the wins at Uttoxeter (3-3 here overall); good effort at Ascot most recently; bred to stay this longer distance and may improve further; strong contender. |
7/1 |

14th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 63y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Second-season hurdler who has form figures of 121 since upped to 2m4f, both wins at Uttoxeter (good to soft); goes into deeper waters but may improve further at this sort of distance; respected. |

10th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Useful form when second in his first bumper and some hanging didn't help; inferior form here in March but they did go very steady; open to lots of improvement now sent over hurdles. |

16th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Hung his chance away at Uttoxeter in November but it was an encouraging debut all the same; should be more streetwise with the run behind him and he's a strong candidate. |

2nd 5 |
16th Nov 2024 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
in touch with leaders, headway over 2f out, led but hung badly left from over 1f out, headed final 110yds, no extra towards finish |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Soundly beaten in mid-division on last month's handicap debut in the EBF Final at Sandown (2m4f, soft); however, that was a hot contest and this two-time novice hurdle winner (2m4f/2m5f, soft) retains potential, with the step up in trip a possible plus. |
10/1 |

8th 7 |
7th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 178y Class 1 |
11st 8lb |
Good second to Get On George at Doncaster (2m3f, good) before landing the odds in a small field at Hereford (2m5f, soft) in January; probably needs a bit more on today's handicap debut. |
14/1 |
|
1st 1 |
26th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 5f 163y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Irish point winner; lacked the gears to win a bumper last term but made a perfect start to this discipline when successful at Huntingdon (2m4f, soft) last month; no disgrace in finishing second of six finishers to a progressive type at Doncaster (2m3f, good) subsequently and should run well. |

10th Jun 2025 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Placed in 2m Southwell maiden (good to soft) in February and also shaped with promise when sixth over that trip on handicap debut at Ffos Las (good) last month; upped in trip today; should still have a bigger run in him. |

22nd Apr 2025 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |

Hooded the last twice; went off a bit hot when beaten under 4l in a 2m novice at Ludlow (soft) the last time; needs to settle down and perhaps best watched for now. |

Improved upon sole bumper run when third on hurdle debut over C&D (good to soft) in December in a first-time hood (retained); he was no match for the front two but they look useful and this son of a Listed hurdle winner is open to further progress; respected. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Hadn't always looked straightforward so the new cheekpieces were probably a factor in his narrow defeat of an in-form rival at Plumpton (2m4f, good); still nicely treated off 3lb higher. |
9/4 |
|
1st 2 |
5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Maiden who has hinted at winning potential but last run at Taunton (3m, good) was a backward step as he didn't look straightforward; if the cheekpieces can focus his mind then the ability is there to take a hand. |
6/1 |
|
5th 1 |
9th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Still a maiden over hurdles but he came in a respectable fourth of 11 in 2m5f Kempton handicap 35 days ago; that form is working out well so he needs considering off a 2lb lower mark. |
12/1 |
