Off the mark over fences at third attempt, at Huntingdon (2m4f, good to soft) in December, and posted another good effort when third at Sedgefield (2m3f, good to soft) last month; respected. |

25th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 65y Class 5 |

Record of 2-5 since wearing cheekpieces, the wins over hurdles at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) last April and over fences at Huntingdon (2m4f, good to soft) latest start; may show further improvement in this sphere; respected in the retained headgear. |

Helped by cheekpieces when second and first in handicap and maiden company respectively over hurdles in the spring; drops in distance for chase debut and that's a concern. |

Winning pointer who displayed significant promise on first two of three hurdling starts for Simon Waugh in the spring (2m4f/2m); a possible improver in handicaps for new stable. |

Point winner (3m, good) who was sold for £28,000; has fared okay on first two starts for this trainer (who saddled a winner at Hexham on Saturday) without necessarily threatening to trouble the principals; others make more appeal. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Seemingly aided by new tongue-tie when gaining breakthrough win at Hereford (3m1f, soft) in December, his 13th hurdle run, and has been placed on three of his four starts since; would appeal more on ground slower than good but still enters calculations; swaps usual cheekpieces for visor. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
18th Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
The tongue-tie went on for last four starts, breaking his duck in good style at Hereford (3m2f, soft) on first occasion and creditable runner-up in two of his three starts since; the exception can be forgiven on heavy ground at Ffos Las; the tongue-tie is removed this time and he's not proven on good, but otherwise he has solid each-way claims. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 2 |
23rd Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Broke his duck in good style at Hereford (3m2f, soft) in December, fitted with a tongue-tie, and backed that up with another solid effort behind a big improver at Uttoxeter; can be forgiven recent Ffos Las run where the ground went against him and he's worth considering. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |

C&D winner in May and August (good) last year; has been in good form both over fences and on the Flat (second over 2m5f at Pontefract 11 days ago) on last four starts; conditions suit and he's a contender. |

3-4 over fences, the last two wins gained by wide margins in small fields at Doncaster (2m3f, good/good to soft); shooting up the weights but evidently in very good nick. |

1st 2 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 31y Class 4 |

Got right back on the up when making it 2-3 over fences in C&D handicap two weeks ago; hiked up 8lb but well on top at the finish there so he's a big player for stable well among the winners. |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 31y Class 4 |

Disappointing at Taunton (2m, good to soft) last month but reportedly unsuited by that tight track; prior to that he won here (2m, good to soft) on his chase debut, and his last two hurdle wins came over 2m3f; has a strong record at this course and could play a leading role now back here. |

11st 1lb |
Back in prime form when winning from the front here (2m3f, good) last month and now 2-10 over hurdles; recent 3lb rise certainly doesn't look excessive, and he ought to be right in the thick of things again. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Defied this mark at Fakenham (2m4f, good) in October 2024; only four runs since but he returned after another break with a front-running third at Huntingdon (2m5f) three weeks ago; should benefit from that run and he's not ruled out on this drop back in trip. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 145y Class 5 |

Scored at Fakenham (2m4f, good) in October 2024 off 2lb lower and should be sharper following his first run for 12 months when down the field here in December; hood is reinstated along with first-time tongue-tie; possibilities. |

Placed in all five chases, the first two over C&D in May (good to soft/good); bumped into an improver when clear second at Perth (3m, good) in August and will be a tough nut to crack here if last month's wind op makes any positive difference. |

Outran 40-1 odds when second at Uttoxeter (2m4f soft) in December but was generally very disappointing for Emma Lavelle last season; well beaten when 66-1 for stable debut six weeks ago and could be considered only if much stronger in the betting here; tongue-tie added. |
