12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Two handicap wins here this season (3m, good) and he took the rise in grade in his stride to win the Grade 2 Cleeve Hurdle over C&D (soft) in January; the 7l runner-up Impose Toi was giving him 6lb and perhaps wasn't at his best, but this highly progressive 7yo was impressive nevertheless; his profile is not dissimilar to that of Paisley Park, who won the Cleeve for this yard in 2019 before landing this race; very much one to be interested in. |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Won big-field handicap here (3m, good) in October and bounced back from lesser run at Haydock to win handicap over this C&D (good) on New Year's Day; won a bumper on soft ground; further improvement needed now up in grade but trainer enjoyed lots of success in this race with Paisley Park and this progressive 7yo is an each-way possible at a track he obviously relishes. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
4lb out of the handicap today and his losing sequence is up to 12 races; however, he ran pretty well when outstayed in the Kim Muir at Cheltenham (3m2f, good) last month and is racing off just 2lb higher than when third of 17 over C&D (good to soft) in the Grand Sefton in November; yard has won this five times and he holds each-way possibilities back down in trip. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 70y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Very close fourth of six at Sandown last March (3m, good; albeit lost three places close home) and good third over the National fences at Aintree (2m5f, good to soft) in November; however, tailed off there (3m2f, soft) in December and there's a suspicion he'll again be lacking the necessary stamina. |

26th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Won a maiden hurdle (2m, good) in May 2024 but was well held in a Plumpton handicap (2m4f) in his final run last season; still lightly raced but this looks a tough starting point over fences and he has stamina to prove at this new trip. |

21st Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 114y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Won a 2m maiden on good ground here last May and ran another good race to be fourth on handicap debut at Windsor three months ago (2m4f, soft); he doesn't look ahead of his mark but he's not had a lot of racing. |

10st 13lb |
Sole win came over C&D (good) in May and has run well a couple of times since, but has also bled on a couple of occasions including on her chase debut back here (3m, good) last month; others more persuasive. |
