24th Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 0y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Made bright start to chasing career in early 2024, winning at Wincanton (3m1f, good to soft) before clear second at Kempton (3m, good to soft), but dropped out of contention worryingly quickly on final two starts last season (had wind op in between) and needs to prove his wellbeing. |

12th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Good-ground maiden hurdle winner who scored on his chase debut at Wincanton (3m1f, good to soft) in January before clear second to Eyed at Kempton (3m, good to soft); flopped at Kempton last time but has had wind surgery since and it will be no surprise if he bounces back with a bold show. |

21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Lightly raced for his age and now 12lb lower than when going close at Wincanton (3m1f, good to soft) at start of last year, but he's been out of form this season and needs first-time tongue-tie to aid a revival. |
20/1 |

15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Hurdles winner over a similar trip here early in 2024, but lightly raced since; finally managed to complete at Ludlow (3m, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) last month, but was still well beaten; lots to prove. |
16/1 |

26th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
Low-mileage 8yo; beaten when falling on seasonal debut in October and pulled up on both subsequent appearances; needs a huge boost from the new cheekpieces. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Blinkers are turned to after finishing tailed off a month ago and her previous thirds were no great advertisement for her prospects here; probably wants softer ground as well. |
33/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Third in a quite valuable Hereford mares' chase (3m1f, soft; first-time cheekpieces) in December and also ran well when filling same position in Bangor marathon (3m5f, soft) last month; might not be ideally suited by the quicker ground here but still respected. |
9/4 |
|
3rd 7 |
25th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 5f 142y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Third over 3m1f at Hereford last time (soft; first-time cheekpieces), making the frame in that handicap for the second successive season; consistent but perhaps doesn't win as often as she should (1-15 over fences and runner-up five times); unraced beyond about 3m1f. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Runner-up behind Broomfields Cave over C&D in December but his form has slumped in two subsequent runs (2m7f/3m5f); overall record is now 1-18 and he has something to prove again. |

8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 5f 54y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Record is only 1-17, the success over 3m1f, but he is largely consistent having made the frame in most starts; chance of doubling his tally partly depends on whether the new trip sparks a new level of form. |
8/1 |
|
4th 2 |
14th Jan 2026 Good 2m 7f 91y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Just one win from his 16 starts but he's consistent and has been runner-up in this visor on his last two outings (3m, good/good to soft); there's every chance he'll be bang there. |

28th May 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Useful handicapper in his prime and versatile regarding ground; badly out of form under rules last season but easily won five-runner point on latest outing in March, and it will be interesting to see whether he enjoys a new lease of life in hunter chases. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 160y |
12st 0lb |
Four wins in five races in points, the defeat inflicted by Hunters Yarn at Moig South last autumn; that rival seemed to be getting the upper hand when they both fell three out in the Fairyhouse race won by Five Star Getaway; useful second-string for champion-elect points trainer. |
10/1 |

5th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 180y |
12st 0lb |
Wide-margin point winner in 2023; useful hurdler for Paul Nicholls, sold cheaply after two failures over fences; beaten 8l by Hunters Yarn at Moig South on return to pointing; reversed form with the winner at Dromahane and won readily at Carrigarostig in January; intended runner at Cheltenham until withdrawn because of concerns about the ground; valuable 7lb off. |
