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 |
11st 7lb |
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. |

25th Mar 2025 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
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. |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 57y Class 3 |

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. |

19th Oct 2026 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Won five times (three hurdles, two chases) in second half of last year but was out of form when last seen in the spring; back on a good mark now and might have been refreshed by six-month break but others in this line-up have much less to prove. |
7/1 |

18th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |

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. |

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. |
