Never progressed for Ben Pauling but has run well in three of his four starts for current yard and he did well to floor the higher-rated favourite in a 2m3f Warwick maiden hurdle last month (good); if taking to fences, he can run better than he did in his two handicaps over hurdles. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Dual chase winner who got himself back on track in the new cheekpieces when third to The Boola Boss at Chepstow; no good thing to reverse those placings despite a 5lb pull on the winner but definite each-way chance. |

Acts on good and soft ground; won two chase handicaps at Hereford (3m1f) late in 2025 but he's struggled in his last two starts; still has potential in this sphere but he needs to get back on track with cheekpieces added. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Came good at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft) in February, his seventh hurdle run, and probably bettered that performance when close second at Bangor (2m7f, good) last month; still unexposed as a stayer; respected. |
4/1 |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
A 3l winner at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft) to get off the mark over hurdles and he'd performed to a similar level before; up 6lb but Harry Atkins claims 7lb (3lb claimer employed last time) and this 6yo has only had seven races under rules. |

0-6 over hurdles; arguably ran better than eventual 22l defeat suggests when fifth behind Jukebox Joker at Warwick (2m3f, good to soft) last month but needs a better finishing effort. |

Fair maiden hurdler; yet to offer much in three runs sent chasing though, undergoing wind surgery before pulled up in 2m7f handicap chase here 25 days ago; blinkers and tongue strap go on here. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
£130,000 buy after runner-up in an Irish point in 2023 and showed promise over hurdles, but his two efforts since switched to fences/handicaps this year have been disappointing; wore this headgear when a remote fourth of four at Wetherby (3m, good to soft) in March and has since undergone wind surgery. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 45y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Point runner-up who also showed ability over hurdles; tailed off at 17-2 on last month's chase/handicap debut at Chepstow but that was his first run since last April and he may have needed it; wears first-time cheekpieces and the step up in trip could be a firm plus; interesting for in-form yard. |

24th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |

Won two of his four handicaps over hurdles and wasn't beaten far when fifth two months ago (over 3m on good); may prefer softer ground but brings potential to his chase career. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 150y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Launched handicap career with two soft-ground wins over 3m2f this year (one under Freddie Robson); fell when last in action and needs to prove he's fully effective on good ground but could still have significant further improvement to come. |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Well-backed winner when upped in trip on handicap debut at Fontwell (3m2f, soft) in January and easily followed up in conditionals'/amateurs' handicap at Warwick (3m2f, soft) last Friday; in a more competitive race today but escapes a penalty for last time and he could be tough to beat. |

19th Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won three times in a week in refitted cheekpieces on the Flat in July; just a respectable third when back over hurdles in a visor (as today) at Hereford (2m3f, good to firm) on Tuesday and may not be ideally suited by this trip back in trip but remains on a workable mark. |

3rd 3 |
13th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Four-time hurdle winner (2m3f-2m4f), all on good ground; in cracking form on the Flat in July, winning three times; form has dipped since and he was out of sorts when last seen over hurdles, but he's hard to dismiss back in this sphere off just 1lb higher than for his most recent hurdle win. |
7/2 |

17th Sep 2026 Good To Soft 1m 6f 17y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Prolific hurdle winner last summer and three Flat successes in July, at 1m4f and 1m6f (all on good to firm); however, he found nothing after making the running at Pontefract (2m1f) last time and was eased right down; now has something to prove. |

Won four-runner C&D (good to soft) contest rather cheekily in March and is now 3-6 in handicaps; 8lb higher in a much deeper race today but it's hard to tell how much was left in the tank last time. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 5 |

Maybe value for further when winning at Catterick latest (2m3f, good to soft), having wanted for running room turning in; 5lb rise for that isn't an overreaction, and the 1l second went in at Sedgefield on Tuesday; few realistic opportunities on good so far, and looks solid. |

24th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 66y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won at Southwell (2m, good to soft) in November on second handicap start and close third of six at Sedgefield (2m4f, good to soft) last month; there's every chance he'll be bang there once more. |
