24th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Beaten favourite over C&D this month but Miss Maverick did get first run on him and he has a 5lb pull on the winner now; remains relatively unexposed over this far. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 3 |
2nd May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Completed a four-timer on his first four starts in this sphere at around 2m; held his form in defeat until weakening right out of it when 40-1 at Aintree (2m4f, good to soft) last month; the same distance is being persevered with but he's down in class and not out of this. |

11st 0lb |
Solid novice hurdler at 2m from last spring to autumn, completing a four-timer (on good ground) prior to holding his form, running-on sixth in Grade 2 at Cheltenham the final occasion; attractively weighed and has possibilities with this new trip worth exploring. |

0-7 and was below form following a short break when eighth at Stratford (2m, soft) last month; needs to bounce back on this drop in grade on better ground. |

9th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 70y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Yet to win (0-6) but he ran his best race yet when second at Fakenham (2m Class 4, soft; 6-1) on latest start; competes from the same mark on return from an 11-week absence; needs to his raise game further in this more competitive contest. |
9/1 |

5th 8 |
1st Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |

There's a suspicion he'll come into his own when tackling further and he'll be vulnerable if bumping into anything useful, but he was runner-up in a C&D maiden (good) in March when last seen and that form has been franked; has also run well on good to soft; strong claims. |

11st 9lb |
Four-time Flat winner; got off the mark over hurdles on his sixth attempt when making all over C&D (good) 15 days ago with first-time blinkers (retained) replacing cheekpieces; has solid claims to defy penalty. |
8/13 |
|

Four-time Flat winner who was placed on the last four of his five hurdling starts, most recently when close second in Sedgefield maiden (2m4f, good) last month; should be fine over today's shorter trip and has another big role to play; swaps usual cheekpieces for first-time blinkers. |

25th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Overall record of 0-16 but he's fairly useful on the Flat and has shown some promise over hurdles, including when second at Southwell (2m, good) two weeks ago; this is a deeper race but he's been dropped another 2lb and is not ruled out. |

Useful on the Flat but beaten 26l and 16l in two handicaps over hurdles, the latest on good ground here; has to step up but that's realistic. |

11st 11lb |
Spring and summer's clutch of frame finishes were gained around far more galloping tracks over 2m-2m4f; wheels have really come off since, and hard to be confident the return to a stayers' trip will arrest the decline. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Runner-up on handicap debut for Nicky Henderson at Worcester (2m, good) in May and pulled well clear of the third when filling same position in maiden over that C&D for new stable in June but has suffered a worrying slump in form since; needs a good boost from the new cheekpieces here. |

Eight-race maiden who has been well held in two handicaps for his current yard and latest was at Wetherby (2m5f, good) in October; tongue-tie is now added and he needs to significantly raise his game after a break. |

15.5f winner (soft) on the Flat when trained in France; showed some ability on his second start when with Max Young (2m, good to soft) but well below that level since; handy mark if new trainer can revive him. |

18th Feb 2026 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |

French Flat winner (soft) who showed promise in C&D novice hurdle (good to soft) last April; he may have needed the run when pulled up at 28-1 on handicap debut at Hereford (2m, soft) in December but he needs to be an entirely different proposition today. |

There's potential in his pedigree but he was tailed off at 100-1 on last month's debut at Doncaster and is probably best watched for now. |

19th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 88y Class 4 |

£10,000 3yo; seventh foal; brother to bumper winner Getagin (RPR 103), closely related to useful bumper/2m hurdle winner Crooks Peak, half-brother to 2m hurdle winner I'm So Busy (125); could have a future but will need to be useful to make a winning debut in this good race. |

Bumper winner (good) who has produced two similar efforts at Ffos Las and Market Rasen in hurdles at around 2m; initial mark looks stiff and so it's no surprise he sticks to this sphere, where he has claims again. |

Soundly beaten on hurdle debut at Ascot (2m5f, good to soft; albeit a warm race) and unseated mid-race at Hereford (2m3f, good) three weeks ago; however, the drop in trip could suit this headstrong point runner-up, who is in top hands (yard also runs Katana) and should appreciate this left-handed track; chance. |

Second to a useful rival in an Irish point; very free on his return from an absence when tailed off at Ascot (2m5f, good to soft) and could leave that run behind if settling better in the new hood. |
