24th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 199y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Point runner-up and bumper winner who won two novice hurdles last season (2m/2m1f, good to soft), including here, and also ran well on soft ground; beaten just under 4l by Alnilam when second of three on his recent chase and seasonal debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good) but he's 5lb better off with the winner today and could improve for that latest run; firmly in calculations. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 55y |
11st 8lb |
One of two for trainer; yet to win over fences after five starts, but some positive efforts behind quality opposition, including when 0.75l behind Funiculi Funicula at Cork last time (2m1f, yielding) under this rider; place chance. |

2nd 7 |
5th Apr 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 45y |
11st 12lb |
Has won a point, two bumpers and a maiden hurdle plus placed in two Grade 1 novice hurdles last year; solid in defeat in his first three chase runs but below that form in a classy Cheltenham handicap last time; looks the better of the Elliott pair and a big player even down in trip. |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 110y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
He's had his ups and downs in a short chasing career and his jumping can lack fluency but he made it 2-5 in this sphere when making virtually all to win at Newbury (2m, good to soft) four weeks ago; won on soft ground over hurdles; major player if things click again today. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 92y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Unseated rider at halfway on this course last month; in and out overall but he would have a chance on his clearcut reappearance success over this distance at Chepstow and drying ground would not inconvenience him. |
9/2 |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 187y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Campaigned only at about 2m; has failed to back up the form of his Chepstow reappearance win and, contrary to parts of his pedigree, doesn't shape as if he's crying out for this new trip. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Irish point winner who won two of her three novice hurdles (both 2m3f, good to soft) but she's made a shaky transition to fences; ran well to a point when runner-up at Newbury in February but she was pulled up after making a bad mistake at Hereford (first run after surgery) last month; that took her chase record to 0-4 and others are more convincing. |
7/1 |

6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Won sole Irish point and two of three novice hurdles (both 2m3f, good to soft); shaky transition to fences but she jumped soundly in a five-runner Newbury race in February before stopping to nothing under pressure; wind surgery since could have helped; retains potential. |
