6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 219y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Capitalised on the drop back in trip to win at Huntingdon (2m, heavy) in February and followed up at Kempton (2m2f, good); he's 7lb higher than last time and in a hotter race, but did it very nicely and this 6yo novice is now 3-6 over fences; could still have more to offer and he's respected. |

14th Mar 2026 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Won on chase debut at Fakenham (2m, good to soft) in October; creditable efforts in defeats in strong novice handicaps on next three starts before resuming winning ways in a small field at Huntingdon (2m, heavy) last month; 7lb higher in a more competitive race now but further progress can't be ruled out with this yard. |

19th Feb 2026 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won on chase debut at Fakenham (2m, good to soft) in October and has run well in defeat on his three starts since, most recently at Cheltenham when not seeing out the stiff, extended 2m4f on soft ground; solid claims now back down in trip. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 211y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
In the form of his life when winning four in a row for Ben Brookhouse last summer, namely a maiden hurdle followed by three Flat handicaps over 1m2f and 1m4f (twice) on good/good to firm; better effort in Bahrain for George Baker this year when third of seven over 1m2f (good to firm) five weeks ago; returns to Britain on a career-high mark and may prove vulnerable to less-exposed sorts. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won the 2024 Ladies' Derby at Epsom and repeated the trick when romping away with this year's edition (1m4f, good to firm) in June; completed a hat-trick (first leg was over hurdles) when defying penalty under Paul Hainey at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) last month and a 4lb rise for that success looks fair; usually sets the pace and he's a big player again in his bid to make it 3-4 over C&D; cheekpieces added. |

11st 7lb |
Won the 2024 Ladies' Derby at Epsom and repeated the trick when romping away with this year's edition (1m4f, good to firm) one week ago; 2-3 under amateur riders and he's run respectably here before; 2lb well in under the penalty and rider Paul Hainey has already impressed this season. |

14th Feb 2025 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Still unexposed over hurdles and has the services of Sean Bowen today but was beaten about 21l when fourth of seven over C&D (good) on last month's handicap debut; needs to find something extra. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Disappointing Flat maiden who was well beaten when 66-1 for last month's handicap hurdle debut at Market Rasen (2m, good), where he raced too freely and jumped left throughout; blinkers added here; too risky. |

2nd Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
17-race maiden who became disappointing on the Flat and hasn't exactly hit the ground running over hurdles, going down by between 17l and 24l in his qualifying races; clearly entitled to do better now handicapping but he's unconvincing. |

Maiden hurdler who was never that threatening in handicaps but his breeding offers plenty of hope that he'll do better over fences and over this longer distance; tongue-tie added; hard to dismiss. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Mark is assuming more realistic proportions nowadays; closest finish to date when under 7l fourth at Warwick latest (2m3f, good to soft), but no obvious excuses there and likely a bit more is needed today. |

Tailed off/pulled up on his three outings over hurdles and a transformation is needed following wind surgery; cheekpieces go on. |
