22nd Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Very lightly raced 7yo who comfortably won Wetherby novice hurdle (2m, soft) in December; just a respectable fourth of six on recent chase/handicap debut at Carlisle (2m, soft) but today's longer trip is likely to suit him and he probably still has potential. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
This is a workable mark on the best of his hurdle form (maiden) and, although disappointing on his chase debut, he did go off favourite; respected in the new cheekpieces. |

26th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
0-10 over hurdles, having ended 2025 with 38l defeat at Uttoxeter; makes chasing debut from a workable mark but has more to prove than some of these; visor (worn for last two races) is removed. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Completed hurdle double when winning here (2m6f, soft) in December and tapped back into that promise when runner-up at Sandown (2m4f, soft) a fortnight ago on his third run over fences; won on good to soft going over hurdles; that latest form reads well and he's high on the list this afternoon. |

2nd 7 |
7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 15y Class 3 |
10st 9lb |
Highly progressive over hurdles in 2025, winning four times (2m4f-2m7f, good to soft/soft), but he's performed below that level switched to fences in recent months; still early days in this sphere but difficult to make a case for him here. |
25/1 |

4th 1 |
19th Feb 2026 2m 0f 77y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Highly progressive over hurdles last year, winning four times (2m4f-2m7f, good to soft/soft); weakened quickly when soundly beaten sixth on last month's chase debut at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) but that's unlikely to be the limit of his ability over fences; no surprise to see a bold show. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Winning pointer on soft/heavy; off the mark on chase debut at Ayr in January (3m, heavy) but pulled up at Kelso last time; could go well but drier ground a slight concern. |
11/2 |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 2f 39y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Point winner who improved upon his hurdle form to win by nearly 3l on last month's chase debut at Ayr (3m, heavy); this lightly raced 7yo could have plenty more to offer over fences and is firmly in calculations up 6lb. |
13/8 |

21st Jan 2025 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won an Irish point last February (3m, soft to heavy) and subsequently bought for £160,000; send off favourite when fourth at Wetherby on hurdles debut (2m, soft); should improve for this marked step up in trip. |

27th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |

No wins in 11 but was close up over C&D (soft) in January and 3m3f perhaps stretched him next time; possible. |
8/1 |

4th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 3f 9y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
0-10 but he achieved his closest finish yet when third at Wetherby (3m, soft) recently; wears first-time cheekpieces and might not be far away. |
11/2 |

3rd 9 |
22nd Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Well held in two starts since a break but he is beginning to slip to a more workable mark now; if handling softer ground than of late, he may be able to get more competitive. |

6th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 137y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Showed nothing more than minor promise in three novice hurdles in the autumn (2m-2m4f) and seems rather harshly treated for today's handicap debut, but he's very unexposed; dangerous to ignore. |

27th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Runner-up over C&D in November on soft (effective on good) but hasn't kicked on from there and not sure the latest Sedgefield run (3m3f) was that much of a step back in the right direction. |

18th Feb 2026 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |

Runner-up at Wetherby (3m, soft) in November and ran pretty well when fourth of 12 at Catterick (3m1f, good to soft) next time; of interest on those performances but two lacklustre efforts have followed. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Front-runner who has won his last three starts (2m7f-3m2f, good to soft/good), the latest at Carlisle nine days ago; clearly thriving and could be tough to beat for a stable that is in fantastic form. |
15/8 |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Held on gamely to make all in four-runner Doncaster chase (3m2f, good to soft) last month and is now 2-4 for current stable; has more on his plate here and needs to prove himself on a right-handed track but still respected in current form. |
11/4 |

1st 3 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 3m 2f 1y Class 5 |

Won a C&D chase for Sam England in February 2025 (good); doubled his tally in this sphere when scoring at Newcastle ten days ago (good to soft); penalised 7lb; major contender. |
