6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 109y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Has a record of 1-1 at Exeter (hurdles win) but needs to rebound, having performed below market expectations in two starts since Warwick chase success, failing to back up that form. |

23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 54y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Three-time hurdle winner who built on encouraging seasonal/chase debut when readily winning three-runner C&D (soft) contest in November; raced too freely and was disappointing favourite at Ascot last month but remains one to be interested in. |
11/4 |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 0f 54y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Three-time winner over hurdles from eight attempts; made his chasing debut in a warm affair at Worcester (2m4f, good; winner won a Listed race at Cheltenham on Friday) last month and shaped well in fourth, only giving best at the last; should benefit from that outing and this is easier. |

Two novice wins in November and generally consistent otherwise; ties in with some of these rivals on Sandown (Imperial Cup) and Southwell form the last twice; solid contender who should give his running. |

10th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 5f 0y |
11st 4lb |
Joint top-rated in here at 126 but this two-time winner has not gone with any enthusiasm recently and has pulled up on his last three starts; big drop in grade here and blinkers go on; risky proposition. |
3/1 |

2nd Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 19y |
10st 8lb |
Hurdle wins at 2m4f but career-best came over this trip when second in Grade 3 Aintree handicap in April (good); briefly tried chasing this term and pulled up on latest two hurdling attempts in testing conditions; hard to be confident in. |

2nd May 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 104y |
10st 2lb |
Improved for going chasing this season, winning 3m Newbury handicap and better again when clear second at Uttoxeter over same trip, both on soft ground; potentially still well-handicapped and could go well if handling better ground. |
7/1 |
|
2nd 3 |
14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 10y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Broadly in good form since switched to chasing and comfortably justified favouritism at Newbury (2m7f, soft) most recently, opening his rules account; may build on that success and show further improvement. |
11/4 |
|
1st 9 |
17th Feb 2026 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
A little below his best when a 14l fourth at Windsor (2m6f, soft) but still ran fine and commands considerable respect on his previous runs, over 2m4f at Southwell (soft) and 3m1f at Cheltenham (good to soft); only a 7yo and still early days over fences. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Broadly progressive form since November features two wins, including at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) latest start when doing it readily; may continue to improve; one to consider, despite going up a further 10lb and Harry Skelton preferring stablemate Tranquil Sea. |
8/1 |

1st 6 |
4th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Just one win from ten starts over hurdles but that came at Aintree (3m1f) in December and he bounced back with a creditable second at Market Rasen (2m7f, good to soft) last month; nudged up 2lb but he's still unexposed as a stayer and has possibilities back up in trip. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 5 |
15th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
In good form during the winter including a win at Aintree (3m1f, soft) in December; last month's Ascot effort (3m, good to soft) needs forgiving, but shortlisted if he can bounce back. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Progressive mare who has form figures of 24121 since joining Joe Tizzard and both of those wins have been at Newton Abbot; 5lb higher than for her success over C&D (good) two weeks ago but she still looks feasibly treated and could continue on an upward curve; key player. |

1st 2 |
13th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
In this headgear combination for the first time when winning by a length over 2m1f here last month (good) and then beat all bar a Skelton-trained favourite off this 3lb higher mark; looks sure to go well. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 5 |
6th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Off the mark at the ninth attempt over hurdles when justifying favouritism in a C&D handicap (good; cheekpieces added) last month; there wasn't much separating the first four but a 3lb rise looks fair and her confidence should be boosted after that success; big player again in her bid to make it 2-4 for Joe Tizzard. |
