7th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
0-6 over hurdles but responded well to first-time cheekpieces and belied 33-1 odds when second of 13 at Exeter (2m5f, good) last month; leading contender over this longer trip if the new headgear continues to help. |

2nd 1 |
7th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 137y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Nicely bred but hasn't raised his modest profile in two handicaps at about 3m the last twice; cheekpieces need to do something. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Hard to make a solid case but the ground was soft when pulled up on his handicap debut at Doncaster where he was upped to 3m from 2m; also has questions to answer on this drier ground but this well-related 6yo could yet turn a corner. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Second to subsequent Grade 2 winner Montemares over C&D (good to soft) on hurdle debut in December and also placed on both subsequent outings, latterly when back here last month; respected. |
13/8 |

2nd 3 |
15th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Runner-up in a bumper here last March (2m, good); has run creditably on both starts over hurdles, on first occasion finishing second to a decent prospect over this C&D (good to soft); contender. |

3rd 11 |
15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Slightly disappointing in his second bumper but belied 33-1 odds when second of five in quite interesting novice hurdle at Market Rasen (2m4f, good to soft) last month and won't be far away if able to build on that performance here. |

21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Delivered on earlier promise when winning C&D (heavy) maiden last month, recovering well from slow jump at third-last flight; ran to fairly useful level that day but probably needs to improve again to land this prize. |

1st 6 |
1st Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Pulled up after significant mid-race jumping error at Ascot six weeks ago but was runner-up on first two hurdling starts (2m3f, soft/good to soft), and his bumper form suggests he'll be well suited by the forecast heavy ground here; probably won't be far away. |
5/2 |

17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 146y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
More experienced than most of these and he keeps giving his running, beaten off only on the run-in when second of four in novice at Doncaster (2m3f, good to soft) five weeks ago; should be winning before long and he's not ruled out here. |

26th Mar 2025 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
4,000gns yearling; seventh foal; closely related to 6f-7f winner Crossing The Line (RPR 105), half-brother to four winners including Cicero's Gift (1m/8.7f; 114); dam 5f winner (108); sire is a classy stamina influence, though; hooded for debut; trainer has made his mark in bumpers, notably with newcomers. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 1m 1f 170y Class 5 |
9st 12lb |
Promising in bumpers, proving much too good on Market Rasen debut in March and subsequently a close fourth behind a newcomer and fellow winners at Haydock (both on good) in May; hooded on Flat debut; interesting. |
