5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Has improved for patient tactics, winning at Haydock (1m7f, good) before going close in the always-strong Morebattle Hurdle at Kelso (good to soft); raised 3lb for that but this former smart Flat performer should be seen to good effect around here. |

2nd 5 |
28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Made it four wins from his eight starts over hurdles (various ground) when returning to form to score at Haydock (1m7f, good) two months ago, when ridden more patiently; 5lb higher in a better race today and needs a career-best but he's unexposed under hold-up tactics and is not written off. |

26th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Talented Flat performer (stayed 1m6f) who won three novice hurdles this year (2m4f/2m, various ground) before finishing fourth of 14 in novice handicap final at Sandown (2m, good) in April; could have more to offer now back up in trip and trainer has won the last three runnings. |

11th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Maiden winner and up to winning a handicap off this mark as he was a clear second last time at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft); thereabouts. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 2 |
8th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Battled well to win Taunton maiden (2m3f, good to soft) last season but has not been in the same form in any of his four handicaps this term (2m4f-3m); drops back in trip here; needs to up his game. |
10/1 |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 57y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Maiden winner; only six ran when a 10l third in his first handicap (2m7f, good to soft) but should really have run better since then, for all that he was back over 2m4f. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Built on his Southwell chase debut second when going one better at Hereford (3m1f, good to soft) in December; had a major blip over C&D next time but he bounced back with a respectable effort on good ground at Hereford (lost his left-hind shoe) last month; still has potential as a chaser and he's in the mix with cheekpieces added. |

3rd 2 |
7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 44y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Built on his Southwell chase debut second when going one better over C&D (good to soft) in December; that form has taken a few knocks, including when this one pulled up at Wincanton in January, although Warren Greatrex did report that the 6yo was unsuited by the soft ground. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Has won a point and a novice hurdle; suffered a near miss on chase debut but went one better in determined fashion at Hereford (3m1f, good to soft); this is tougher off 6lb higher but he's heading the right way. |

26th Mar 2025 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Showed some ability in his only bumper and at Ludlow (3m, good to soft; 20-1) in his second maiden hurdle; this drop back in trip might help and he's a likely player. |

24th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Hasn't really progressed as expected from his competitive bumper runs and pulled up in his latest maiden after hanging left handed around Hereford; this track may be more to his liking and this is his first handicap in a new tongue-tie. |
6/1 |

7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Fair form shown in bumpers and when a good second in 2m4f Huntingdon maiden hurdle last March; brought down at the first on his return in 2m3f Fontwell maiden in October and not ruled out back after another break. |

6th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Not solid on his hurdling exploits (0-7) and he ran no race on chase debut last time (2m4f); this longer trip is probably a better fit for him so may leave that latest run behind. |
20/1 |

26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Mixed form over hurdles this season but runner-up at Plumpton (3m1f, good) two starts ago and stable has much better strike-rate with chasers than hurdlers nowadays; not ruled out on first run over fences. |
10/1 |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Did not show a great deal in his qualifying races last season (2m3f-2m5f) and unseated rider at third flight when upped to 3m2f for handicap debut in March (race subsequently declared void); returns from six-month break. |
