10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 11lb |
Has failed to maintain an unbeaten hurdles record since returned this sphere, sweating and well beaten in the Imperial Cup (2m) last time; penultimate effort (2m5f) wasn't bad but this is a stiffer task. |
25/1 |

14th 1 |
7th Mar 2026 Soft 1m 7f 216y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
3-3 over hurdles last season, including a Listed novice win at Exeter (2m, good to soft), and following a stint over fences he reverted to this sphere with a promising second at Warwick (2m5f, heavy) four weeks ago; travelled strongly on that latest start and not ruled out now back down in trip. |
20/1 |

2nd 2 |
7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 5y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Chasing this season; eyecatching behind Lulamba first time out before finishing alone after Phantomofthepoints had come down at Uttoxeter; wasn't overly fluent that day, nor when third at Ayr, and now defends an unbeaten record over hurdles (3-3); his novice form has worked out well and potentially on a good mark for this handicap debut; unraced over this far but should stay. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 11lb |
Justified favouritism in 2m4f event at Uttoxeter (soft) on Midlands National day, going one better than 12 months earlier and setting himself up perfectly for an attempt to win this prize for the second year running; current mark reflects his advancement; again a big player. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |
12st 2lb |
Second in this race last year off 12lb lower, he went on to win at the Aintree Festival last April; confirmed his wellbeing when second in the William Hill Hurdle at Newbury five weeks ago and should run well. |
4/1 |

Reserve; won 2m4f handicap at last season's Aintree Grand National meeting (good to soft) before third at Punchestown; disappointing when favourite on Windsor reappearance but back on his game when best of the rest behind Tutti Quanti in valuable 2m Newbury handicap (heavy) last month. |

Won over hurdles in France (2m3f, heavy); some fair form since joining Micky Hammond and was a close second at Sedgefield in November (2m4f, soft) but hasn't run since. |

12th Mar 2025 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Strong late on when held by under 1l at Leicester last month (2m4f, heavy), settling far better; three flops beforehand so needs to prove able to back up that effort, but looks the part as a chaser (imposing type). |
5/1 |

2nd 1 |
25th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 4f 25y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Bumper winner; achieved nothing last time (3m; handicap/chase debut) but is bred to do better still, being from a family that has served his trainer well; not written off. |
9/1 |

4th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won his bumper here; has failed to build on an encouraging first run over hurdles but he's bred to make a chaser and this is his first handicap. |

Opened his account at Doncaster (2m) in February but he beat only one in 2m Hexham handicap 20 days ago; needs to bounce back. |

25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |

Advanced his form when getting off the mark at the tenth attempt in 2m Doncaster handicap 25 days ago; this demands another personal best off a 5lb higher mark. |

Beaten a neck on his handicap debut last April (2m1f, good) but four lesser runs have followed, so has to turn things around. |

Displayed some promise before weakening into eighth in Wetherby bumper (good to soft) in December but was tailed off when 66-1 for recent hurdling debut at Market Rasen and faces a tough task. |
