18th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 167y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Never really got competitive at Aintree festival in April but his front-running win at Newbury (2m, good to soft) two starts ago makes him of interest here and, after only nine hurdle runs, he's not yet fully exposed. |

21st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 7f 195y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Not as good as he was but that's reflected in his mark and he knows his way around this place; returning from a break when third in this 12 months ago off a 4lb higher mark; could easily have a role to play. |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Not quite as good as he was but still a useful performer; placed on final two starts last season (2m hurdle/2m1f chase) and drops back in trip after looking stretched by 2m4f last month; probably best on good/good to soft but has won on soft; enters calculations. |

16th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Not quite as good as he was but still a useful performer; second off today's mark on latest hurdling start at Newbury (2m, good to soft) in March and also ran well when third in Sussex Champion Chase at Plumpton (2m1f, good) last month; well worth another crack at 2m4f; probably won't be far away. |

Useful hurdler up to last season ran his best race in three points when third in an open race at Toomebridge last time; ran well enough on sole chase start in 2024 but has to do more. |

Half-brother to Altior; didn't make the progress that might have been expected for Nicky Henderson season but bettered his underwhelming stable debut when second of 13 at Bellewstown (2m4f, good) in August and may improve again for John McConnell. |

16th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Ran three times on the Flat in France, winning over 1m7f on testing ground on first two occasions; that was back in 2023 and spring 2024, but he was a progressive and fairly useful hurdler in the hood for this yard last season (last seen in April) and is unexposed for this Flat handicap debut. |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |
10st 6lb |
Went close on stable debut in big field at Ascot (1m7f, soft) in December then won at Sandown (2m, good) in January, turning the tables on Dance And Glance who won a nice prize at Haydock this month; 5lb out of the handicap today and pulled up in the William Hill Hurdle at Newbury in February, but very few ran to form in that attritional contest; retains potential; chance. |
15/2 |

7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
Overall record (Flat/hurdles) is 5-11; couple of very sound performances this term for new stable, nearly collaring Dance And Glance at Ascot (1m7f, soft) then reversing placings with that rival in comfortable fashion at Sandown (2m, good); open to further progress and has strong claims. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Four-time hurdle winner who has form figures of 11631 at Fontwell; has mixed record this season but he went close at Plumpton (2m4f, soft) on his penultimate run and was rallying in a close fifth when he unseated two out at Kempton (2m, good) last time; one of two runners for the yard and he's an interesting contender back at this track. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Gained his spring/autumn wins last year at about 2m; ran well over 2m4f at Plumpton most recently; may remain competitive, back down in distance. |

26th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 116y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Took hurdles score to four when winning at Leicester (1m7.5f, soft) in November and produced a solid effort in his follow-up bid off this mark at Ascot the following month; however, he has to be forgiven a below-par effort at Sandown since. |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Three-time hurdle winner who made it 0-5 over fences with another disappointing show at Bangor in late March, despite returning to good ground; clearly needs to raise his game in the new blinkers (replacing cheekpieces). |
7/1 |
|
6th 3 |
31st Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Three-time hurdle winner who is 0-4 over fences, with only effort of note in discipline when beaten in a match at Warwick in October (2m4f); does seem happier on good ground than soft, so last two efforts could be excused; cheekpieces return after going without them last time. |
8/1 |

7th 4 |
9th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 70y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
3-20 hurdles, his latest win at Newcastle (2m1f Class 3; from 2lb higher) 11 months ago; a switch to fences hasn't suited (0-4, including being beaten in a match) but it's possible he'll strip fitter since his latest start; reverting to the smaller obstacles is helpful. |

18th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Smart in his prime but needed considerable help from the handicapper before driven-out win at Chepstow (2m, good) in April; subsequent defeat in valuable Haydock race is not viewed harshly but he's not yet proven over this far and others in the field have more appealing profiles; cheekpices removed after one use. |

11th 5 |
10th May 2025 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 1 |
11st 9lb |
Winning for the first time since the 2022 Betfair Hurdle when digging deep to edge out Helnwein at Chepstow two weeks ago (2m, good); will do well to defy a 4lb rise in this deeper race but he'll give it his best shot; cheekpieces added. |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Poor strike-rate and both wins were in Ireland; mostly consistent in small-field chases this season and the return of blinkers is a probable plus after trying a visor last time; has been running over shorter but stays this far; versatile ground-wise. |
5/1 |

4th 3 |
6th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 213y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Yet to add to his two Irish hurdle wins in 2021 but consistent in small-field chases this season, with best run arguably his second of five at Uttoxeter (2m, good) two starts ago; swaps usual blinkers for first-time visor; will probably be on the premises again. |

£42,000 yearling; half-brother to bumper/2m hurdle winner Gitche Gumee; dam bumper/2m5f hurdle winner, sister to bumper/useful 2m4f-3m jumps winner Chilli Filli from talented family; very plausible on pedigree; yard 12% in bumpers in recent seasons. |
