28th May 2025 Good To Firm 3m 0f 0y |
11st 10lb |
Two bumper wins in Britain; mixed record over hurdles; made all for a wide-margin maiden win over 2m3f at Naas last November; disappointing in races at Carlisle and Uttoxeter; more like it when winning at Chepstow last month; tougher opposition now. |

11st 12lb |
Major player on the form of November's all-the-way Naas win (2m3f, good to yielding), but has folded sharply trying similar tactics twice since, proving no better for a three-month break latest; still no recourse to any headgear or aid, and caution necessarily advised for now. |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Won at Cheltenham (2m4f, soft) last November on second chase start and finished third in quality handicap at Kempton (3m, good to soft) in February, despite jumping to the left at that right-handed track; massively inconvenienced by controversial start when down the field at the Cheltenham Festival; retains potential, especially going left-handed; high on the list. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
10st 6lb |
Rather fortuitous winner on the Old course here (2m4f, soft) in November as stablemate Jordans Cross looked a massive threat when falling; finished 5l behind that rival in the rematch over C&D on Trials day, shaping as if ready for a crack at further; duly ran well, despite jumping left at times, in major 3m handicap at right-handed Kempton (good to soft) since; brings notable form but possibly isn't crying out for the drop back in trip; 1lb out of weights. |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 1 |
10st 6lb |
Anthony Honeyball does well in staying chasers and he won this two years ago; he has another likely contender in this first-season chaser who probably improved on his winning piece of form at Cheltenham when a staying-on fourth in a traditionally strong novice handicap there on Trials' Day; confined to about 2m4f over fences thus far but looks ready for 3m and big shout if his jumping stands the test. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 203y Class 1 |
11st 1lb |
Has won two of his four chases since joining Olly Murphy and impressed over C&D (soft) in February; an 8lb rise appeared to anchor him in the Jack Richards at Cheltenham, though good ground could have been another factor in him being below par (seems ideally served by softer); respected but one or two others appeal more. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
10st 8lb |
Campaigned mostly on soft/good to soft; bumper/hurdles winner for Paul Nicholls; record of 121 (over 2m4f) since joining new yard and switched to chasing, both wins gained in comfortable fashion, latest at Haydock; could make some waves in these deeper waters, being a lightly raced and improving contender. |
12/1 |

1st 6 |
14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
A fairly useful bumper/hurdles winner for Paul Nicholls; has looked an improved model sent chasing for his new handler this winter, scoring easily at Southwell (2m4f) before a clear second of six in 2m4f Leicester handicap 48 days ago; up 4lb but he has more to offer and merits serious consideration. |

18th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Lightly raced 6yo but he's not shown a great deal and was pulled up on chase debut over C&D (good to soft) in January; had wind surgery since but he needs a transformation after a short break; tongue-tie added. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Displayed minor promise when fourth on hurdling debut at Hereford (2m3f, good to soft) in December; two less encouraging runs followed towards end of last season but improvement is possible in handicaps this term. |

25th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Minor encouragement in November's Hereford 2m4f hurdling debut fourth (backwards step since) and ought to have something to offer at this trip or further, albeit likelier in handicaps after this. |

Offered little in a bumper here (wouldn't settle) and a 2m4f Hereford novice hurdle late last year; needs to have come on a lot since then. |
