22nd May 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
8st 12lb |
Usually held up; third in a 2yo maiden was his sole run on softer than good; can race freely but showed improved form when upped to 2m for wins at Kempton (AW) and Nottingham (good) in his final two runs last season, and he continued on his upward curve when a close, never-nearer third of seven over C&D (good) three weeks ago; retains potential. |

3rd 4 (2) |
2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Improved form upped to 2m when winning at Kempton (AW) and Nottingham (good) in his final two runs last season; up another 5lb but he still looks feasibly treated and could continue on an upward curve as a 4yo; interesting contender on his return. |
100/30 |

1st 8 (4) |
15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
8st 11lb |
Promise in his qualifying races on turf, followed by two underwhelming runs in handicaps but he then delivered an improved show in nine-runner race at Kempton (upped to 2m, AW) four weeks ago, coming through strongly from last to first; 3lb higher today but he has more to offer as a stayer. |

23rd May 2026 Good 1m 5f 188y Class 1 |
9st 2lb |
Six wins (all handicaps) from 32 runs; not disgraced after losing ground at the start when fourth of six at Nottingham four weeks ago; faces a significantly stiffer assignment on her first attempt at a Group race. |
25/1 |

4th 1 (3) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 6f 0y Class 4 |

3-10 at Nottingham, including the first of last year's three wins; effective at 1m6f/2m and ran well on recent return, so shortlisted. |

Enjoyed a good 2025 when a three-time winner (from 1m6f to 2m) but she came in last in 1m6f Nottingham handicap on her final run in October; has gone well off a break, though. |

27th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 6lb |
Scored twice (1m6f/2m) for Darryll Holland last August and made an encouraging start for his new yard when third on Lingfield AW in March; however, tailed off back on turf (which should have been okay) one month ago. |
16/1 |

26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 217y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
Scored twice (1m6f/2m) for Darryll Holland last August and made an encouraging start for his new yard when third to St Faz on Lingfield AW five weeks ago; the first of those wins was impressive over 1m6f on good to firm and he's one to consider despite today's 15lb higher mark. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Bang there every time in his four races at Chester, including the Cup in 2023 but absent 758 days afterwards; back to life at Newbury (2m, good) three weeks ago, making all in a six-runner race; has a 3lb penalty and drawn higher than ideal but he was another 6lb higher at his peak and has returned to serious calculations. |
12/1 |

1st 7 (2) |
17th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 3 |
8st 7lb |
5-25; second in this race in 2023 and close third in the Chester Cup (2m2f, again on soft; favourite off 9lb higher than today) that May but absent for 758 days afterwards; while not disgraced on reappearance last October, he then tailed off on AW last month; major questions to answer regarding the ground and what he's currently capable of. |
33/1 |

9th 1 (9) |
4th Mar 2026 Standard 2m 2f 98y Class 4 |

17th Mar 2026 Yielding 2m 1f 105y |
11st 12lb |
Won twice early in Flat career for Keith Dalgleish; missed all of 2024 and failed to recapture best form in five runs for Andrew Balding last year; big price on Irish/hurdling debut at Thurles; unlikely to feature. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 13lb |
Long layoff before he stuck on from last into a respectable sixth in nine-runner handicap at Goodwood (2m, soft; 7lb lower today) this June; seemingly found 14.5f too short at Doncaster next time (not disgraced) but his 2m run at Ascot 12 days ago was pretty disappointing. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 176y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Flat and hurdles winner but already a far superior chaser; jumped well in front (although sometimes to the right) when completing a handicap hat-trick at Doncaster (2m, soft) six weeks ago by 17l; firmly on the up and deserves his chance in this higher grade. |
9/2 |
|
1st 3 |
28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 78y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Flat/hurdle winner but he's looking a far superior chaser; bumped into a very smart novice on his chase debut and has since won two handicaps, the latest over C&D by some 8l (soft); an 8lb rise could have been worse for one firmly on the upgrade. |
7/4 |
|
1st 3 |
24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 78y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Flat/hurdles winner; very solid form at Newbury (2m, good to soft) since switched to fences, finishing a good second (behind subsequent Grade 2 scorer) prior to going one better in a race that is working out nicely; may well have more to offer in this sphere and warrants major respect. |

12th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
He's returned from a break in good heart this year, finishing fourth at Market Rasen (2m7f, soft) before getting closer to the target when 3l third at Southwell (3m, good); entitled to respect. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 7 |
1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Made a sound return to hurdles after four months off when fourth of nine over 2m7f at Market Rasen six weeks ago, fading only from the last under a positive ride; remains unexposed as a stayer in this sphere (quite useful over 2m on the Flat); considered. |
8/1 |
|
4th 1 |
17th Feb 2026 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Useful stayer on the Flat, but mixed form under both codes after an impressive hurdles debut at Doncaster (2m1f, good) at the end of 2024; not seen in four months but has a fine record fresh and remains unexposed in this sphere. |
