11st 7lb |
Nephew of Denman; has been a constant work in progress and pretty much lost the plot without a hood when third to Wendigo at Newbury (good to soft) in November; won a match on soft the following month but couldn't contain Miami Magic when second at Cheltenham in January; highly creditable third in the Jack Richards at Cheltenham (also about 2m4f, good; Golden Dancer second, Jordans Cross eighth) last month, however, and now goes up in trip with something deeper possibly lurking inside him. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Nephew of Denman; unraced on heavy, acts on any other ground; cost £660,000 at a dispersal sale at one point, proved a smart novice hurdler and has picked up C&D experience (latest start) en route to this prize, making him virtually a carbon copy of last year's winner Caldwell Potter for the same connections; has a broadly solid overall record to boot, including form figures of 312 since switched to fences, and likely remains capable of further progress; very strong credentials. |

5th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |

Not the easiest to settle and although 2-4 in this sphere he was turned over in an Exeter Listed race (2m, good to soft) in February before finding a soft option at Wincanton; needs improvement for the fitting of a hood but that's not impossible. |

Close third to Horaces Pearl in the Grade 2 bumper here last April; no match for Regent's Stroll on hurdle debut at Newbury and although he's been a creditable third in two Grade 1s since, on this track and at Leopardstown, he has his work cut out here and the drying ground spells danger. |

11st 9lb |
Lightly raced 6yo who looked a likely handicap prospect on his novice and maiden form at about 2m but his handicap debut in a military riders' race at Sandown (2m, soft; favourite) in January didn't go to plan; still early days though and 2m3f promises to suit on pedigree. |

12st 0lb |
Progressed again on last three starts, winning two of them (good to soft); moving up to 3m at this track proved an excellent fit three weeks ago when he mostly had a clear lead before striding on again smoothly in closing stages; up another 9lb but could also prove too hot for today's rivals. |

Low-mileage 7yo who left low-key seasonal debut behind when scoring by just over 5l at Doncaster (2m3f, good to soft) in December and again ran well when placed here (2m4f, good) later that month; open to improvement on first attempt at 3m; must be considered seriously. |

Best effort in three 2m maidens was his 28l fifth of ten runners behind the smart Regent's Stroll at Newbury in November; could be a very different proposition in this low-grade handicap and a tongue-tie is added. |

8th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 135y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Quirky customer who doesn't find much when striking the front but has won three times under well-timed Robert Dunne rides this season; unraced beyond about 2m4f under rules but well suited by good/good to soft ground and probably still on a workable mark. |
7/4 |

27th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
Has won three of his six starts over fences and perhaps found the ground too soft when a tired second behind Mon Champion over C&D recently, as he looked threatening until late on; this surface brings him into it. |
5/1 |

2nd 4 |
14th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Never travelled after swerving to avoid a faller at Wincanton in December but otherwise he's done little wrong over fences, having valid excuses at Sandown before winning at Leicester (2m, soft; has won over 2m4f); every chance he defies a 3lb rise for last year's successful yard; first-time cheekpieces. |

Dual Fontwell winner and his other victories have come on left-handed tracks; hung in that direction on last month's visits to Kempton and he duly underperformed; should run better around here and this mark isn't beyond him. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 4 |

Perhaps needed the run in C&D event nine days ago on return from break; largely productive over hurdles/fences otherwise this term, winning five times; good chance if tapping back into that progress. |

14th Mar 2026 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 3 |

Has enjoyed an excellent campaign, winning three times over hurdles in the autumn and also successful in handicaps at Lingfield (2m, good) and Plumpton (2m1f, soft) on his first two starts over fences; freshened up since a lesser run at Newbury over Christmas. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Caused 28-1 surprise in first-time hood at Huntingdon (2m3f, good to soft) in November and remained in good form until end of last season (2m-2m7f); edging back down the weights and holds each-way claims at least. |

29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 123y Class 4 |

Ridden throughout this season by 10lb claimer Dillon Butler; plenty of experience over hurdles and the one win, at Huntingdon (2m4f, good to soft) in November in a first-time hood which has been kept since; good third last time but that was over 2m, which casts doubt over this new trip. |

£140,000 3yo; half-brother to 2m6f hurdle winner Cardamon Hill; dam unraced half-sister to Champion Hurdler Binocular (also 1m1f Flat winner) and 10.5f and 1m7f Flat/2m2f-3m chase winner Assassino; big-money purchase and represents a yard that does well in bumpers; has to be respected. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |

Maiden who is 0-4 over hurdles and fences apiece (2m-2m6f); far from solid on form and chance largely depends on the effects of new trip. |

21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |

Six-race maiden whose chance of getting off the mark depends on whether a change of equipment prompts improvement; cheekpieces replace usual tongue-tie. |
