12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
10st 13lb |
Has the same strike-rate as Jordans Cross, being 5-8 overall; struggled in the Game Spirit when bidding to take chase record to 3-3; faces a more suitable assignment in this contest and although he has raced mainly at about 2m, the return to 2m4f promises to suit; good third in major novice handicap hurdle at Sandown (good to soft) in sole attempt over this distance; major contender, with further improvement still plausible. |

7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 92y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Good effort in notable novice handicap on last hurdles attempt; unbeaten otherwise under rules and has taken well to fences, last time defying a penalty at Ayr (2m, heavy); has the worst chance at the weights upped in class but current rating isn't necessarily his ceiling; progressive and could go well. |

8th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 173y Class 1 |
11st 13lb |
Promising sort who is 3-3 under rules, all in 2m events over hurdles, and beat The Kemble Brewery at Ludlow on penultimate occasion; likely to be as effective at this longer distance, being a 3m point runner-up, and represents last year's winning yard; respected. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 2 |
11st 12lb |
Low-mileage 7yo who looked better than ever (in first-time cheekpieces) when readily making all in five-runner handicap at Chepstow (2m) 30 days ago; hiked up 9lb but still not taken lightly with headgear retained. |
2/1 |

1st 1 |
24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Endured a sobering chase debut here in November (sole start on good) but firmly back on track on sole start since when finding only an even less exposed handicapper too good over C&D a fortnight ago (good to soft; pair 9l clear); cheekpieces added; retains plenty of upside. |
15/8 |

2nd 1 |
11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 3 |
12st 2lb |
Failed to complete over hurdles (pulled up) and fences (fell) in his last two starts but this lightly raced 7yo is still unexposed in handicaps and he won twice during his novice hurdle campaign; returns after 157 days off and he needs checking in market back in this sphere. |

Hooded the last twice; went off a bit hot when beaten under 4l in a 2m novice at Ludlow (soft) the last time; needs to settle down and perhaps best watched for now. |

27th Feb 2025 Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Improved upon sole bumper run when third on hurdle debut over C&D (good to soft) in December in a first-time hood (retained); he was no match for the front two but they look useful and this son of a Listed hurdle winner is open to further progress; respected. |

24th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |
10st 9lb |
Improved with experience over hurdles last season and won Lingfield maiden (2m3f, soft) by 9l in February; makes handicap debut after eight-month absence and in a much tougher race; further progress required. |

20th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 110y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Well-held fourth in sole Irish point last spring; same outcome on hurdling debut at Ludlow in December but he found improvement with his rallying third at Taunton (2m, soft) last month; that was an eyecatching effort and he could have a big role to play over this longer trip. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Won handicaps at Musselburgh (hurdle; 2m4f, soft) and Catterick (chase; 2m3f, good to soft) on first two outings for this yard; beaten at short odds but advanced his RPR again when stepped up to around 3m under rules for the first time in a Newcastle chase four weeks ago, going down by a neck to a next-time-out winner with the pair 16l clear; another 6lb higher back hurdling but it may not stop him, particularly if reacting well to the new cheekpieces (added to the tongue-tie he's worn since joining this stable). |
7/4 |

2nd 1 |
3rd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 4 |

Two out of two for current yard, winning handicap hurdle at Musselburgh (2m4f, soft) and handicap chase at Catterick (2m3f, good to soft); up 9lb; tongue-tie, tried on last two starts, is back on again; stable going well and he's one to take seriously. |

17th Jun 2025 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Chased home short-odds favourite in Ludlow novice (2m, good to soft) in February but safely held in both subsequent handicaps (2m3f/2m); needs a boost from the new cheekpieces here. |

10th Apr 2025 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |

Best of the rest behind a long odds-on winner in Ludlow novice (2m, good to soft) in February; disappointing second favourite on handicap debut at Taunton (2m3f, good) one month ago but the trip might have stretched him. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Won off this mark on his chasing debut at Ffos Las (2m, good to soft) last June and has been consistent in four runs since, albeit not confirming his stamina over an extended 3m at Warwick in January. |

23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 100y Class 4 |

Beat three rivals to win on chase debut at Ffos Las (2m, good to soft) last June and returned from break with three respectable runs in the autumn (2m6f-2m7f; cheekpieces added last time); has the services of Sean Bowen for first venture beyond 3m but this race looks more competitive and he'll have something to prove if the ground turns soft. |
