10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |
11st 8lb |
Tongue tied the last twice; completed his hat-trick in a 2m4f Grade 2 at Cheltenham on Trials' Day (soft; fine on good) but only sixth in the Albert Bartlett; however, he ran well for a long way in fairness only to wilt up the hill and this flatter track could be a better fit; not ruled out. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Has left his bumper form behind over hurdles and completed his hat-trick in a 2m4f Grade 2 here on Trials' Day (first run in a tongue-tie; soft; fine on good); however, that was by the skin of his teeth and in a race that hasn't been that influential when it comes to the Festival; however he fares, he'll be a nice chaser next year. |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 56y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Won at Ascot (2m3f, good) in November on second hurdle start and followed up in Newbury novice (2m4f, good to soft); went close in a bumper on soft; his jumping may improve and it remains to be seen where his limitations lie, but others have a bit more substance to their form; tongue-tie added. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 137y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won on handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) in January and followed up at Wincanton (2m5f, heavy), both under Rian Corcoran; when third at Ffos Las (2m4f, heavy) it maybe came too soon, just six days after the Wincanton win; 7lb higher mark has now kicked in but he may still have more to offer. |

3rd 5 |
20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Immediate improvement for the switch to handicaps and deployment of Rian Corcoran, the pair obliging at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) and Wincanton (2m5f, heavy) with something in hand each time; unpenalised for the latter, and obvious case assuming the six-day turnround isn't too quick. |
2/1 |
|
1st 3 |
14th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 5f 82y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Well-held fourth in his first three runs over hurdles but he found improvement when justifying support on handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) three weeks ago; up 5lb but that was a convincing win under Rian Corcoran and he's open to more progress at this new trip; key player. |

Fourth in January in her two bumpers (soft/heavy) but tailed off at Wincanton in her two hurdle races. |

8th 9 |
6th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 50y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
An each-way case can be made on her January bumper form (2m/1m7f, soft/heavy; including here) but she was tailed off over C&D (soft; 10-1) on last month's hurdle debut and needs to leave that run miles behind. |
50/1 |

15th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 50y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
From the family of talented hurdler/chaser Lalor; similar sort of form in her two bumpers (soft/heavy), the latest here when beaten a little over 6l; looks to have a future. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |
11st 8lb |
Irish point winner; couldn't win a bumper but he's looked good in winning two novice hurdles, last time justifying market support with an oh-so-easy win under a penalty at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft; runner-up useful); dangerously unexposed and highly rated in a top yard that's also represented by No Drama This End; interesting, and stamina shouldn't be an issue when he's by Walk In The Park and his dam is a sister to Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Lord Windermere. |
15/2 |

1st 1 |
27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 118y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Paul Nicholls has won three of the last five runnings of this race; this Irish point winner (good to yielding) left his bumper form behind when comfortably accounting for his penalised market rival in a 2m3f novice at Taunton (heavy); it's difficult to know how good he might be and he commands considerable respect. |
11/8 |
|
1st 9 |
3rd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Irish point winner (good to yielding) who bettered his low-key rules debut when fourth in valuable Newbury bumper (good) last March; makes hurdling debut after 318-day absence and on much slower ground but looks an interesting prospect. |

1st Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Well held when third in uncompetitive Chepstow novice hurdle (2m7f, good to soft) in December and did not show a great deal in two hurdle races either side of that; however, he was unlucky not to win a slow-ground Irish point in 2024 and is open to improvement on this chase/handicap debut. |

7th 1 |
26th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
In command when unseating at the final fence on debut in Irish maiden point (3m, heavy) in March 2024; not written off but he was a well-beaten favourite on his bumper debut at Exeter (2m, soft) in January and needs to be a very different proposition on this first outing since. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 3m 1f 5y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
First run over this sort of trip when springing a 50-1 surprise at Hereford in October; proved it was no fluke when third at that track (also 3m2f, good) a fortnight ago; latter form looks solid and he's unexposed as a stayer; player despite potential ground query. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 5 |

Placed for the first time when third at Wincanton (2m4f, good) in March on handicap debut but Fontwell was disappointing after a break. |
