11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |
11st 6lb |
Successful over 2m4f on reappearance here (good to soft) in October and has shown better form at around 3m since, including a win at Huntingdon (good to soft) in January; only midfield behind reopposing stablemate Supremely West in the Pertemps at Cheltenham, though. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
11st 1lb |
Won two of his four starts this term and stayed on well for second to today's Grade 1 Stayers' candidate Ma Shantou here (3m, good) on New Year's Day on penultimate start; latest was a Huntingdon win (3m1f, soft) and he's now 5lb higher but this progressive 7yo has to be taken seriously. |

22nd Jan 2026 Soft 3m 1f 10y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Progressive handicapper who stayed on well for second in a Class 2 at Cheltenham three weeks ago (3m, good; effective on good to soft; unraced on slower) and the winner is due to run in this weekend's Grade 2 Cleeve Hurdle; every chance despite the 4lb rise. |

22nd Nov 2024 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Won a British point in 2022 and an Irish point last year; should have a future under rules but this hurdling debut comes after a 543-day layoff and he has a fair standard to reach. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 96y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won in January on first two chase starts (2m4f/2m3f, good to soft/soft) and bounced back from a lesser run when second here (2m5f, good to soft) 12 days ago in a first-time tongue-tie (retained); won a 3m point in 2024 and there's every chance he'll stay this far under rules; high on the list. |

2nd 8 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Won in January on first two chase starts (2m4f/2m3f, good to soft/soft), shaping each time as though he had more left in the tank; soundly beaten at Newcastle (2m, good to soft) since but that maybe shouldn't be taken as a sign that his current mark is beyond him; cheekpieces go on. |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Progressed well over hurdles; didn't appear to be doing a lot in front when just holding on to make it 2-2 over fences at Catterick (2m3f, soft; second run in cheekpieces); has another 6lb to contend with but very much heading the right way. |

27th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Doubled his hurdle tally over nearly 3m at Hexham this month and that was on the back of good runs in defeat; raised 6lb but has placed form under the returning Rebekah Duffy who claims 7lb. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |

1-16 over hurdles (sole win was over C&D in November); creditable second to Dillarchie over 3m3f at Sedgefield on last two starts; suited by good ground; each-way chance. |
