10st 9lb |
Signs of a revival when fourth over fences at Fakenham (2m5f) in January, before 3m5f stretched her (refused at the final fence) on final start for Seamus Mullins; offered little when sent off joint-favourite on stable debut last month; tongue-tie wore then quickly dispensed with and she reverts to hurdles on a workable mark, but with plenty to prove. |

15th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 210y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Front-runner who is 5-10 over fences but the handicapper is beginning to look in charge and he worryingly refused to race last week at Market Rasen; cheekpieces are soon turned to. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Free-going front-runner with 5-9 strike-rate over fences; unable to justify favouritism but still ran well before weakening into third at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) last month, after a break, and could be hard to catch here if that run has brought him on. |

3rd 6 |
4th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Front-runner who is 5-8 over fences and he found more progress when runner-up in the Durham National (3m5f, good) in October; this is a different test on his return but he still looks on a workable mark and was successful over 2m4f last spring; has worn a hood in all of his chase runs but the headgear is missing today. |

16th Mar 2025 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Not the best of jumpers and yet to win in four attempts over fences; spoilt chance with a bad error three out when second at Leicester last week (2m, good to soft; 6-5 favourite; cheekpieces tried); obvious contender. |

26th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Dual chase winner but below his best in two runs over fences during March; returns to hurdling off a realistic mark and has placed form in this discipline. |

2nd 4 |
29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 13y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Won twice around Fontwell (2m3f/2m2f) during this month last year and well treated on all that; didn't appear to see out 3m last time at Kempton and the return of cheekpieces is a likely positive; goes on good ground; hard to dismiss. |

1st Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 59y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Has modest strike-rate and is very inconsistent but has slipped to a good mark and ran well over C&D on his only previous visit Fakenham; cheekpieces (missing when tailed off at Fontwell last month) are refitted here; can be dangerous if in the right mood. |
