11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 149y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Switched to chasing with two wins in the autumn, the latter in a Cheltenham Listed race (3m1f, soft) despite not jumping that well; his fencing once again lacked fluency when sixth in the National Hunt Chase back at Cheltenham (3m6f, good) in first-time cheekpieces (blinkered now) last month; has a lower mark back hurdling, so no surprise were he to go well despite the fact Sean Bowen looks elsewhere. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 5f 201y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Switched to chasing with two wins in the autumn, the latter from One Big Bang in Listed race here (3m1f, soft) despite having been a detached last of the three remaining runners at the third-last fence; that was not a fluent round of jumping but, with a satisfactory Grade 2 run at Windsor in January under his belt, he could still have more to give, including with this stamina test and first-time headgear. |

18th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 60y Class 1 |
11st 9lb |
Record of 7-10 overall and 2-2 since switched to chasing (solid form); stayed on well in Listed grade at Cheltenham (3m1f, soft) most recently, proving suited by the first attempt beyond 2m4f under rules; particularly unexposed at this sort of distance and warrants respect. |

18th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Has regressed badly since a promising novice hurdle campaign in early 2025 and has offered little since switched to handicaps, including over fences, finishing tailed off on all starts this year; continues to slide in the weights but the cheekpieces need to prompt marked improvement. |

11th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Won over hurdles on rules debut in February 2025, but disappointing since switched to chasing in the autumn (six attempts); he was beaten 40l+ over about 2m4f on both outings in March. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y |
11st 10lb |
Bolted up in a handicap chase at Tramore in April; good subsequent run in a handicap chase at Galway; poor run at Kilbeggan last time, but very much respected if he can be forgiven that. |

21st Aug 2026 Good 3m 1f 180y |

Fortunate to win a Tramore beginners' event in April; ran well in a Market Rasen handicap before a poor run at Perth; bounced back from that when fourth in a handicap chase at Galway. |

Lucky to win a Tramore beginners' but then ran well in Market Rasen handicap; lapped at Perth and back from a break here. |

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. |

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. |

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. |
