11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |
11st 6lb |
Successful over 2m4f on reappearance here (good to soft) in October and has shown better form at around 3m since, including a win at Huntingdon (good to soft) in January; only midfield behind reopposing stablemate Supremely West in the Pertemps at Cheltenham, though. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
11st 1lb |
Won two of his four starts this term and stayed on well for second to today's Grade 1 Stayers' candidate Ma Shantou here (3m, good) on New Year's Day on penultimate start; latest was a Huntingdon win (3m1f, soft) and he's now 5lb higher but this progressive 7yo has to be taken seriously. |

22nd Jan 2026 Soft 3m 1f 10y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Progressive handicapper who stayed on well for second in a Class 2 at Cheltenham three weeks ago (3m, good; effective on good to soft; unraced on slower) and the winner is due to run in this weekend's Grade 2 Cleeve Hurdle; every chance despite the 4lb rise. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Point winner who is 0-13 under rules; has some useful hurdles form to his name, with his best effort coming on good ground and over a similar trip to this; on a handy mark for this chase debut if better for a recent hurdles start; check the market for clues. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Now 0-12 under rules and beginning to look exposed; however, he brings the best form to this maiden and was going easily when falling three out at Sedgefield last time (2m1f maiden); unraced beyond 2m5f under rules but this winning pointer should stay. |

14th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
0-8 over hurdles but three times runner-up and ran well for fourth on handicap debut at Ascot (2m3f, good) before slipping up early at Aintree in April; the cheekpieces worn the last twice are left at home but he's a major player back in a novice. |

22nd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 27y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Made a winning start for this yard in a novice handicap chase at Southwell (2m4f, soft) last November; finished a long way behind Sea Of Kings at Doncaster on his return to the Flat four weeks ago; others appeal more. |

25th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 197y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Ended his time with Adrian Keatley below par last autumn but a winner over fences at Southwell for his new yard before being pulled up at Market Rasen in December; needs to bounce back after a layoff. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 45y |
12st 0lb |
Record of 1-19 over timber; three-time winner on the Flat has placed in two starts in that sphere since falling over hurdles at Leopardstown in March; recent form suggests she's fit and healthy but poor strike rate over hurdles is off-putting. |
14/1 |
|
2nd 6 (3) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 217y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Had three seasons with Andrew Balding, including three wins, and has been with this yard since July 2023, including for two wins (one over hurdles) and plenty of place returns; third over 1m4f in her only two Flat runs in the last 13 months, including under Patrick McGettigan 17 days ago, and her very solid Flat record for this trainer suggests she will be on the premises. |
