16th Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 56y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
He's not the only possible front-runner in this field but he's an improving 7yo who came 15l clear in a small field at Haydock four weeks ago (2m3f, good); a 6lb rise could have been worse and, although this is a lot more challenging, he's in the mix. |

11st 8lb |
Won maiden hurdle at Market Rasen (2m, good) in November and he's since been a respectable third in his first two handicaps (1m7f/2m, good to soft/soft); those were warm races and this front-runner can make a bold bid. |

11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 62y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Accounted for Peckforton Hills when getting off the mark over hurdles at the 12th attempt at Doncaster (2m4f, Class 5 conditionals'; good to soft) in February; down the field (from 8lb higher) in a stronger contest at Newbury subsequently; now drops back into a more suitable looking novice. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 183y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Runner-up in nine of his first 14 races, before finally off the mark when well backed for 12-runner handicap at Doncaster (extended 2m3f, good to soft) three weeks ago in second-time cheekpieces; drew 12l clear for that breakthrough but this 8lb higher mark seems to demand another step forward. |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 88y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-14 but runner-up on nine occasions and he ran well for a long way in first-time cheekpieces (retained) here (3m, good to soft) in December before fading into fifth; could be in the mix now back down in trip. |

5th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 54y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Delivered on earlier promise when comfortably making all in Southwell maiden hurdle (2m, good to soft) in December; both subsequent handicap hurdle runs were underwhelming but connections are evidently keen to switch him fences. |

19th Mar 2025 Good 2m 2f 191y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
5yo who has got better with each of his three runs for this yard, going close at Warwick (2m, soft) most recently; also effective on good ground and he shaped last time as though today's step up in trip could be a plus. |
4/1 |

2nd 4 |
21st Feb 2025 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Failed to go on for the Skeltons; his second run for this yard when third at Sandown (2m, soft; first-time hood) was a return to form, though he was held up off a fast pace set by the winner and might be flattered. |
12/1 |

19th Mar 2025 Good 2m 2f 191y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Well handicapped on his form up to May 2023 and he's one to watch in the betting, but he's struggled over hurdles and fences this season following a long absence, and has plenty to prove. |
16/1 |

12th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 154y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Potentially on a good mark but it's been a struggle this season after a layoff and a sudden turnaround is needed with a first-time visor replacing cheekpieces. |
25/1 |
