17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won his final two starts last season (2m3f/2m4f, soft/good to soft) and there's every chance this 7yo will get back on track at some stage; however, he's been disappointing on his three outings this term and it's hard to be confident regarding his claims today. |

7th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 57y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Ended last term with maiden (on soft) and handicap wins, latterly at Perth (2m4f, good to soft) in April; disappointing on both starts this term but was struck into last time and has also since had wind surgery; additionally, he's now upped in trip and has tongue-tie and cheekpieces for the first time, so there could be explanations aplenty were he to stage a revival. |

11th 8 |
2nd Nov 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 218y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Still raw last season according to his trainer so encouraging that he could follow up his maiden win with a comfortable handicap debut at Perth (2m4f, good to soft); raised 9lb for that Class 4 success and this is appreciably stronger, but everything would suggest that he's going to get better. |

20th Mar 2025 Good 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Runner-up in December in his only point and he's made quite a promising start to rules career with places over about 2m3f in maiden hurdles at Taunton and Chepstow; this step up in trip can help on handicap debut. |

22nd Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Runner-up on point debut in December and made quite promising start to rules career at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft) last month, keeping on steadily to take remote second; it's tricky to gauge what that form is worth but he's open to improvement. |

18th Jan 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |

Kept on for second in Larkhill maiden point (2m4f, good) last month and evidently has some ability but faces a tougher assignment on this rules debut; market may guide. |

18th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 137y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Won an Irish point two years ago; hasn't progressed under rules (including three chases but back hurdling last time) despite often being short in the betting; presumably thought capable of better and perhaps cheekpieces can bring him on. |

14th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 5f 82y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Irish point winner but he's been expensive to follow under rules (0-6) and was pulled up in a handicap chase at Chepstow (2m7f, soft) last month; has something to prove and he needs a transformation back over hurdles. |
9/1 |

27th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Soundly beaten on seasonal/handicap/chase debut in November but was running well until two slow jumps cost him ground on final circuit at Warwick (3m, soft; ended up well held in third) last month; remains lightly raced and still has a bigger performance in him. |

30th Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 7f 91y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Irish point winner in May 2024 (3m, good); best rules run when second in a Plumpton novice hurdle in December last year (2m, good to soft); reportedly made a respiratory noise and stopped quickly when pulled up on chase debut at Hereford last time (2m5f, good); tongue-tie now tried; bit to prove. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |

Wouldn't have enjoyed the slow ground in two maiden hurdles before finishing a remote second in a Swedish hurdle three weeks ago, as was his second place in a Plumpton novice last winter; plenty too prove now sent chasing, though he did win a point. |

Eighth foal; half-brother to winners Getaweapon (point bumper and 2m/2m3f hurdle) and Glenquin Castle (2m6f-3m1f chase); dam unraced half-sister to bumper/hurdle/chase winners up to 2m6f Supreme Prince (smart) and Supreme Serenade (useful); yard has only occasional success in bumpers. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 70y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Won hunter chase here (4m, good) last May and added a handicap here (3m1f, heavy) in November, before finishing second at Sandown (3m4f, good to soft); pulled up in Welsh National next time and tailed off over hurdles latest, but this 11yo has an each-way squeak if returning to form back here. |

Thorough stayer who won amateur riders' chase at Cheltenham (3m1f, heavy) in November and was second in London National at Sandown (3m4f, good to soft) on next outing; didn't fire in Welsh National last time, though, and his hurdling ability is tricky to gauge. |

18th May 2025 Good 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |

From a very good jumping family; struggled in two slow-ground maiden hurdles in February (2m6f/2m3f) but took huge step forward and belied triple-digit odds wen very respectable fourth at Ffos Las (2m4f, soft) last month; has strong claims here if he handles the quicker conditions (ran okay in a good-ground bumper last spring). |
