Comes good in the spring; took his record at Tabley to 4-5 with another conditions success there 12 days ago (3m, good); three years since a 27l Down Royal hunter chase defeat (RPR 68) on his sole rules start. |

11st 12lb |
Five-time point winner at conditions level or lower, including in a point here a year ago (good), but limitations in hunter chases have been exposed; some way below par on both starts this winter, and may be coerced into errors if a pace battle ensues. |

Winner in each of the last four pointing seasons at conditions level or lower; outsped by Kilfilum Woods in a steadily run Huntingdon race latest and may appreciate a more solid test, but others progressing more. |

Not that far behind Kilfilum Woods and Coolagh Park at Huntingdon ten days ago, but still looks to have the most of any to find here. |

Achieved little when winning a two-runner point in April and was beaten 68l when third at Hexham 10 days ago; has too much to prove. |

18l ahead of Hung Jury when taking a 13-runner Chaddesley Corbett conditions race at Christmas (soft), and has won three further points since; no rules experience for three years and none at all over fences, but this nephew of Kicking King is as interesting as any of the home challenge. |

Became first horse since Brunico (1992-3) to win successive renewals of the prestigious Lady Dudley Cup at Chaddesley Corbett latest (3m2f, good; Red Delta over 6l third); beaten favourite in all three hunter chases, mistakes seeming more the issue than the soft ground each time. |

13th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
7yo with a record of 5-8 in points; turned over as favourite in his two runs in hunter chases but he was only beaten 2l in a good race at Warwick (3m, good to soft) last month, when a mistake at the third-last fence didn't help; that form puts him firmly in the picture and he still has potential. |

1st May 2026 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Found only the prolific Grace A Vous Enki too good in the Lady Dudley Cup classic at Chaddesley Corbett last time (3m2f), having won two opens over shorter immediately before (all on good); first-fence casualty when last seen in a hunter chase, but generally a safe conveyance nowadays. |

Belated first career win last November opened the floodgates, as three more point wins and (last time) a slowly run Huntingdon hunter chase (beat Coolagh Park and Dr Lockdown) have followed; goes on all track types and has his going again, but likely career best required. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 3m 2f 70y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Won a hunter chase last May (on good ground) and probably wasn't in love with the heavy surface (has won on yielding to soft) when tailed off behind Con's Roc at Fairyhouse in November in his latest hunter chase; has since run well behind a prolific pointer; only a 6yo but this race looks too tough. |

Little about his maiden point efforts presaged the huge personal best of last month's Down Royal hunter chase win (2m7f, good; RPR 133), though as a sibling of Aintree Foxhunters' second Jet Plane and prolific mare Found On he might always have made a chaser; player if backing that up. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 97y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Stays thoroughly, having won the Lincolnshire National at Market Rasen (3m4f) on Boxing Day and performed well in the Eider at Newcastle (4m1f) in February; perhaps his heavy defeat over 3m on latest start can therefore be forgiven, particularly as he was hampered early on; considered back at 3m4f. |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 4m 1f 56y Class 2 |

3-10 in points; seven-race career under rules includes two handicap wins this season and there have been two notable performances over 3m3f/3m4f, including his win in the Lincolnshire National at Market Rasen (good to soft) on Boxing Day last time; 11lb higher this time (including 3lb out of the handicap) but he's a strong candidate for this trip. |

3-16 in points and 2-9 over fences; two respectable runs for this yard, over 3m5f and 3m on good ground; obvious claims provided switching cheekpieces for blinkers doesn't backfire. |

16th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |

Majority of rules and point wins have been recorded around sharp left-handers, but found the fences coming too quickly even for him at Fakenham on last month's stable debut (3m5f, good; debuted cheekpieces retained here); no surprise were he to prove better than that again. |
9/2 |

3rd 1 |
13th Apr 2026 Good 3m 5f 24y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Former pointer/hunter chaser who won Sedgefield handicap (3m2f, good to soft) for Ruth Jefferson in January and signed off for her with clear second at Wetherby (3m, good) last month; upped in trip and fitted with cheekpieces for this stable debut; likely contender. |

Winner of a novice hunter chase at Tipperary last spring (23.5f, good to yielding) on yard debut; 0-6 over hurdles for Noel Meade prior to that; midfield in Clonmel handicap chase two weeks ago (23.5f); others preferred. |
