14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Seemingly back in prime form when beating a subsequent Cheltenham winner at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) in December but wasn't at same level when weakening third at Stratford (2m6f, good) last month, after a break, and needs that recent run to have brought her on. |

3rd 2 |
28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Running well over fences for her current yard this season and opened chase account in 2m3f Chepstow handicap in December (race has thrown up three subsequent winners); big shout given she has gone well after a break too. |

29th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
0-6 over fences and has made a few jumping errors, but has also shown ability including in both starts for this yard; back down in grade and cheekpieces are given a go, but this sharp 2m may not be a sufficient test for her now. |

25th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 213y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Gained his sixth win over fences, at Southwell (2m, good) when making all in June off 8lb lower; looked to be found out by the weight rise when third of four at Newton Abbot (2m, good) last month, and although this track may play to his strengths he has never won off such a high mark; first-time blinkers replace visor. |

24th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Dictated pace when scoring at Southwell (2m) in June but came in a well-held third of four off 9lb higher mark in 2m handicap chase at Newton Abbot three weeks ago; needs to bounce back. |
11/1 |

3rd 1 |
3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Goes particularly well at Southwell where he won again by 15l a month ago (2m, good), making all; he was granted a soft lead there and has gone up 9lb. |

Versaatile 10yo with 15 wins on his CV; not firing on all cylinders this season, the last twice over fences, but has dropped to a dangerous hurdle mark and will appreciate this ease in grade. |

30th Sep 2025 Good 2m 5f 28y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
0-6 for current stable and needs to better his recent efforts but is now 5lb lower than when creditable second at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in July and can't be ruled out; visor removed after one use. |
4/1 |

16th Sep 2025 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Safely held at Bangor this month and now 0-5 for new stable this season but his second here (2m4f, good) in July was a good effort and he'll be favoured by the forecast rain; fine over 2m; big player if perked up by change of headgear. |
7/1 |

4th 2 |
5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Has yet to win since departing Henry De Bromhead's yard but hasn't been running badly and this is his second run after wind surgery, which appeals to some punters; potentially well handicapped. |

26th Jul 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Has stronger form over fences and well beaten on return to hurdling for his three starts this May-July; has another career-low jumps mark and his only two races over 2m3f-2m5f were solid, so not entirely ruled out. |
20/1 |

10th 1 |
5th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |

Has stronger form over fences and uncompetitive in two races on his return to hurdling; reservations for now. |

4th 6 |
13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
0-9 over hurdles and has the stronger form over fences but is accordingly handicapped and didn't run badly back over hurdles last month, where lack of a recent run told late; could be involved with that outing behind him. |

2nd 3 |
27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 75y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Returned from break in career-best form over fences this spring and subsequently exploited her novice hurdle status at Hexham (2m, good), albeit unimpressive in justifying skinny odds; came up short over hurdles last time, but she's 4-9 in this sphere and is only 1lb higher than for her close second at Bangor in May; respected back over fences. |
4/1 |

2nd 4 |
19th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Returned from break in career-best form over fences this spring and subsequently exploited her novice hurdle status at Hexham (2m, good), albeit unimpressive in justifying skinny odds; suited by fast ground and features prominently in calculations. |
9/4 |

1st 9 |
13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 3 |
10st 9lb |
Four-time chase winner and rated higher in that sphere; however, she is 2-14 over hurdles and has been found a good opportunity to add another success as she goes unpenalised for her wins in junior hurdles; the one to beat on these terms. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Resumed winning ways over fences at Stratford (2m1f) in March but below par both runs since, beating just one in 2m4f Warwick handicap chase last month; needs to take a big step forward back in this sphere. |
14/1 |
|
7th 3 |
4th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Landed his fourth win over fences at Stratford in March (2m1f, soft) but his Huntingdon third was remote and some inconsistency has crept in. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
4th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Back to his best after a three-month break when landing his fourth win over fences at Stratford (2m1f, soft) last month; up 5lb but recorded back-to-back victories around this time last year so not to be taken lightly. |

11st 3lb |
Three chase wins since April 2025, at 2m and 2m4f, but he was pulled up in two of his last three starts for Olly Murphy and has a stamina query over the new trip on first run since January. |
20/1 |

3 |
30th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Proved hugely resurgent with easy win at Lingfield (2m4f, soft) last week on third start for new stable, taking chase record to 3-10; well handicapped under a penalty that is partly offset by Lewis Saunders taking off 3lb; future mark 4lb higher; respected. |
