10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 12lb |
Absent and had further wind surgery since his ready win over C&D (good to soft) on Boxing Day when proving well suited by the step up from 2m and taking record to 4-7; progressive and remains particularly unexposed at this trip; looks an ideal type for this assignment. |

9st 9lb |
Dual fast-ground 1m4f Leicester scorer in 2022-23, but longer still since he last showed sufficient on any of his occasional returns to shorter; okay last-time hurdles effort, at least. |

6th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Lowly rated on the Flat nowadays; belied 80-1 odds when second in Kelso novice hurdle (2m, soft) in February but was swallowed up after racing too freely in the lead in Perth handicap (2m, good to soft) in April. |

11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 62y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Accounted for Peckforton Hills when getting off the mark over hurdles at the 12th attempt at Doncaster (2m4f, Class 5 conditionals'; good to soft) in February; down the field (from 8lb higher) in a stronger contest at Newbury subsequently; now drops back into a more suitable looking novice. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 183y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Runner-up in nine of his first 14 races, before finally off the mark when well backed for 12-runner handicap at Doncaster (extended 2m3f, good to soft) three weeks ago in second-time cheekpieces; drew 12l clear for that breakthrough but this 8lb higher mark seems to demand another step forward. |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 88y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-14 but runner-up on nine occasions and he ran well for a long way in first-time cheekpieces (retained) here (3m, good to soft) in December before fading into fifth; could be in the mix now back down in trip. |

13th Feb 2025 Soft 1m 7f 216y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Showed promise on his first four starts (including on soft) then got off the mark when making all in a Market Rasen novice (2m, good to soft); on a line through the runner-up he's making his handicap debut off a fair mark, and this unexposed 6yo is open to improvement for his good yard. |

11st 11lb |
Two Flat wins at 1m3f/1m6f in 2023; missed most of 2024 and has needed two recent runs; open to improvement in his second handicap with Brian Hughes replacing a 10lb claimer; cheekpieces added latest, now discarded. |

1st Feb 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Two-time Flat winner who has been an encouraging third on his two hurdle starts a year apart, the latest at Market Rasen (2m, good to soft) in December; open to improvement in this code and is in with a chance on handicap hurdle debut; cheekpieces return (no positive impact on the Flat). |
