11st 7lb |
Heavy-ground bumper winner who showed solid form in novice hurdles last season at up to an extended 2m4f, and he reappeared with a handicap debut win at Haydock (2m3f, soft) last month; goes up in trip and he could do with settling and jumping better, but he's unexposed and clearly promising. |

18th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 32y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Generally productive over hurdles but last few efforts leave a doubt over whether he'll be in top form returned to the Flat for first time since winning at Redcar (1m6f, soft) in November 2024. |

31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Has won five of his 17 races over hurdles, including at Haydock (2m3f, good to soft) and off 7lb lower at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) this season; not at his best on last two runs but could bounce back. |
5/1 |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 87y Class 2 |
11st 12lb |
Well beaten at Catterick last month but perhaps that run came too soon, just six days after he completed a double in good style at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft); third in this last year and he could be involved. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 33y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won this last year (soft) on his reappearance and ran well in the main subsequently, finishing fourth here in March when last seen (2m3f, good to soft); can have a big say if handling conditions (unraced on good ground). |

9th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |

Won over 2m1f here on his reappearance and that was off only 3lb lower; held his form after that but the wheels came off at Haydock last time; possibilities if back on song. |

26th Jan 2025 Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Left Gordon Elliott under a cloud and for £3,500; has run in three soft-ground handicaps for new yard, finishing closer on latest but still beaten 25l so he looks best watched for now despite the cheekpieces (tried once in Ireland, finished second of four) being reinstated. |

Tailed off over hurdles on both starts this winter, after a long layoff; tongue tied last four starts and now also tries cheekpieces; well down the weights but with a big question to answer. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 1 |
11st 1lb |
Not the greatest jumper and he comes from the back, which risks trouble in running, but competitive in all six of his completed handicaps over this sort of trip; won three of them, in just a four-runner race at Doncaster on latest start, though, and further improvement is needed. |

Progressive last season and has continued the good work this term, finishing second of 15 at Newbury (2m4f, soft) then third of 12 at Windsor (2m4f, good); trainer won this last year and he's a major player. |
