5th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 4f 0y |
11st 10lb |
Front-runner who has finished first past the post in all six attempts over 2m4f (disqualified on one occasion due to a banned substance); beat Kala Conto with plenty to spare in the Grade 1 Scilly Isles at Sandown (soft), task simplified by the exit of the Mullins-trained Kitzbuhel. |

31st Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 15y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Acts on heavy ground; well beaten at the Cheltenham Festival in both Grade 1 attempts (bumper/hurdle) but faces a more realistic task in this field and remains unexposed over fences; easily beat two rivals at Cheltenham (2m4f, good to soft) last time, taking chase record to 2-2 and looking better than ever; possibilities. |

31st Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 103y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
All four wins in the mud and the latest was from the front on heavy ground at this track (2m4f) last February; made a creditable chase/seasonal debut over 3m in December but two muted performances (chase/hurdles) have followed and a big revival is needed in the first-time headgear. |

22nd Jan 2026 Soft 3m 1f 10y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Dual hurdle/bumper winner on soft/heavy ground and could be happy to see the back of fences (last two runs); he's not handicapped out of it. |

18th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Low-mileage 6yo who scored over 2m3f as a novice last term; took his form to a new level with clear second at Chepstow most recently, proving suited by the step up to 2m7f; particularly unexposed at this sort of distance and may well improve further; big player. |

15th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
It looked unlikely for much of the race at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) but he came home strongly to lead late on; still looks raw and has plenty more to offer. |
8/1 |

1st 12 |
9th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Only 1l off a subsequent dual winner when neither could live with the smart Sixmilebridge at Leicester in December (2m4f, heavy); given the promise of that run, it was a surprisingly modest effort he delivered at Ffos Las (soft); not one to give up on yet by any means. |

8th Mar 2025 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Last of four on handicap debut at Bangor (2m7f, soft) last month but didn't run badly in what may have been a warm little race, and improvement is possible from this lightly raced 6yo; has a chance. |

7th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 7f 32y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Has shown some ability in bumpers and over hurdles, well beaten when trying 2m4f on last two occasions but he did rally; needs improvement on this handicap debut but the extra 3f could be a plus point. |

Useful novice two seasons ago, last win over 2m here in March 2025; below his best on both starts last season; cheekpieces now tried; needs to bounce back. |

Won a Wetherby novice (2m, good to soft) and a Hexham handicap off 6lb lower (2m, good to soft) last season; pulled up at Bangor in November on only start this term; unproven at this trip but an interesting contender. |

11st 12lb |
Bagged a pair of handicaps (around 2m4f) at Chepstow and Warwick before Christmas and wasn't disgraced after five months off when sixth in 2m7f handicap here 26 days ago; considered. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 25y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Signed off last season in a Graded race and has gone 2-2 switched to handicaps this term, with good-ground wins in the autumn; good value for the narrow winning margin last time (2m5f) and only went up 5lb; goes well fresh so the break is of no concern. |

26th Mar 2025 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Irish point winner; dropped from about 2m4f to 2m for his two handicaps but was pretty disappointing, favourite when tried in cheekpieces last time; now has his tongue tied as well and moves back up in trip. |

3rd Mar 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |

Irish point winner, failed to improve for the drop to 2m on handicap debut most recently; chance partly depends on how well he responds to first-time headgear. |

12th Mar 2025 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Strong late on when held by under 1l at Leicester last month (2m4f, heavy), settling far better; three flops beforehand so needs to prove able to back up that effort, but looks the part as a chaser (imposing type). |

25th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 4f 25y Class 5 |

Bumper winner; achieved nothing last time (3m; handicap/chase debut) but is bred to do better still, being from a family that has served his trainer well; not written off. |

4th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |

Won his bumper here; has failed to build on an encouraging first run over hurdles but he's bred to make a chaser and this is his first handicap. |
