10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |
11st 8lb |
Tongue tied the last twice; completed his hat-trick in a 2m4f Grade 2 at Cheltenham on Trials' Day (soft; fine on good) but only sixth in the Albert Bartlett; however, he ran well for a long way in fairness only to wilt up the hill and this flatter track could be a better fit; not ruled out. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Has left his bumper form behind over hurdles and completed his hat-trick in a 2m4f Grade 2 here on Trials' Day (first run in a tongue-tie; soft; fine on good); however, that was by the skin of his teeth and in a race that hasn't been that influential when it comes to the Festival; however he fares, he'll be a nice chaser next year. |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 56y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Won at Ascot (2m3f, good) in November on second hurdle start and followed up in Newbury novice (2m4f, good to soft); went close in a bumper on soft; his jumping may improve and it remains to be seen where his limitations lie, but others have a bit more substance to their form; tongue-tie added. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |
11st 8lb |
Progressive novice but this is his first time in a Graded race of any nature and he finished some 10l behind Mondoui'boy at Ascot on his penultimate start; he'd be a surprise winner. |

9th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Delivered on earlier promise when narrow winner of Ludlow maiden (2m5f, good to soft) in January and was a respectable third after making the running in useful Ascot novice (2m3f, good to soft) last month; ought to be right in the thick of things again. |

14th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 63y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Justified favouritism in maiden hurdle at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft) last time, gaining reward for being largely consistent in defeat previously; may build on that success and show further progress. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 216y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Proving consistent and, following a good effort in a Grade 2, he made all at Newbury (2m, good to soft) back down in class last time; far from sure to get an easy lead in this bigger field, however. |

1st 1 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Has built up a solid record when racing at about 2m under rules, as form figures of 222 this year help to demonstrate; ran well in the Dovecote at Kempton (good to soft) most recently; leading player back down in class. |
5/4 |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Beaten favourite at Kelso (2m, heavy) last Friday but he'd previously run well when second over C&D (good); should be thereabouts but others appeal more for the win. |

Promising third on debut in Irish maiden point (3m, soft to heavy) last April and has joined a top trainer for his rules career; makes bumper debut in what looks a pretty warm race but he's not ruled out. |

11st 4lb |
Both bumper runs were on good to soft, showing promise at Warwick (beaten 8.5l) before a heavier defeat at Exeter; cost 100,000euros and no doubt capable of a lot better. |

9th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 161y Class 2 |

Beaten about 9l when eighth of 12 at 9-2 on debut at Warwick (2m, good to soft) in December; improvement needed but it's very early days for this 100,000euros purchase, who is in top hands; no surprise to see a good run. |

Won on debut in Irish maiden point (2m4f, yielding) last February and subsequently acquired for £240,000; this is his first run since but he brings obvious potential to his bumper debut and could have a big say. |
