12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
10st 10lb |
Failed to complete a hat-trick but was far from discredited at Ascot (3m, good to soft) last time in the Reynoldstown, which was won 12 months earlier by a stablemate who subsequently finished second in the Ultima at this meeting; may have more to offer back down in distance, being 4-4 at 2m3f-2m5f; the tea leaves are signalling that he'll run well. |

14th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 185y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Record of 2-3 since switched to fences, most recently scoring at Doncaster (2m3f, soft); has form at up to 3m; open to further improvement and his stable has a good record in this contest; interesting. |

1st 3 |
23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 31y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Runner-up in Grade 2 novice hurdle last season and he left his chase debut well behind to win a three-runner beginners' chase at Haydock (2m5f, good to soft) last month; open to further improvement and could have a big say in a first-time tongue-tie; showed promise on soft ground in a bumper. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
4lb out of the handicap today and his losing sequence is up to 12 races; however, he ran pretty well when outstayed in the Kim Muir at Cheltenham (3m2f, good) last month and is racing off just 2lb higher than when third of 17 over C&D (good to soft) in the Grand Sefton in November; yard has won this five times and he holds each-way possibilities back down in trip. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 70y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Very close fourth of six at Sandown last March (3m, good; albeit lost three places close home) and good third over the National fences at Aintree (2m5f, good to soft) in November; however, tailed off there (3m2f, soft) in December and there's a suspicion he'll again be lacking the necessary stamina. |

15th Jan 2025 Heavy 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
French-trained 5yo; front-runner on last two starts, impressive at Auteuil (2m2f, heavy) in October on first occasion; better form at Ascot (2m5f, good; 8-11) one month later despite being left well behind by the first two from the second last; this drop in trip is an interesting move and he has the form to be a major player, in this race for which few can be fancied. |

23rd Nov 2024 Good 2m 5f 141y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Shaped with promise in his first two hurdle runs (including Grade 3) in France before an impressive front-running win at Auteuil (2m2f, heavy) last month; has to concede weight all round in this much tougher race but he's a half-brother to a multiple Grade 1 hurdle winner (2m2f-3m) and is open to more progress at this new trip; respected. |

6th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Point winner; made his handicap debut at Chepstow (extended 2m3f, good) 17 days ago, following wind surgery and with tongue tied, and he raised his game dramatically to justify favouritism in nine-runner race by 8l under Callum Pritchard; up 9lb but good chance to score again. |

20th Mar 2025 Good 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Won a 3m point on heavy; yet to be that competitive under rules but has been running behind some useful horses and this is his handicap debut; had wind surgery and now tries a tongue-tie; possible improver. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Seemingly aided by new tongue-tie when winning twice at Huntingdon (2m, good to soft/soft) during the winter, and was not discredited when second to revitalised subsequent winner at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) last month; sometimes races a bit too freely but should be fine on this left-handed track; respected. |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 149y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Always the risk his reluctance to settle will temper his late effort, as it did when over 1l behind A Great Excuse at Lingfield in December; 2-2 at Huntingdon since, however, deriving the benefit of the tongue tie once again when making most there latest (soft); 5lb rise appears pretty fair. |

22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Last year wasn't all plain sailing but he delivered on previous chasing promise when scoring over C&D (good to soft; first-time tongue-tie) just before Christmas and should be fine on the slower ground today; respected. |
