29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 172y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Sported this headgear combination for the first time when narrowly repelling Authoceltic at Newton Abbot and followed up over hurdles later in the autumn; disappointed back over fences in January but returned to form with a decisive win at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft), beating a hat-trick seeker in the process; went up 8lb for that but clearly a contender; good ground is fine. |

11st 6lb |
Newton Abbot chase winner in October (2m, good to soft), but continues to return stronger RPRs win or lose over hurdles; 3lb drop following January's fading Exeter chasing sixth isn't sufficiently persuasive. |

18th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Very well handicapped on old hurdling form for Charlie Longsdon but didn't really fire during four-race campaign for Emma Lavelle last season and still has quite a bit to prove over fences; changed hands for 3,200euros in April; sports first-time cheekpieces here; first runner under rules for Chester Williams; market may guide. |

2nd 4 |
29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 172y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Only three runs over fences but already a better chaser than hurdler; well on top to win at Wincanton in November (1m7f, good; 5lb lower) and the softer surface at Ludlow (good to soft) was a feasible excuse next time; absent since December but likely to go well. |
4/1 |

2nd 3 |
18th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Returned from one-year absence with low-key run in 2m4f maiden hurdle last month (raced too freely) and is now 0-7 in that sphere; entitled to have benefited from that outing but needs this switch to chasing to enable improvement. |

2nd 2 |
28th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
4-9 over fences but has departed mid-race in his last two chases and now reverts to hurdling off a 5lb lower mark; 0-10 in this discipline but he has been placed and could go well. |
4/1 |

3 |
13th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
He's 4-8 over fences and fell in two of the defeats, including last time when he was still travelling nicely four from home; likely to be bang there if avoiding the mistakes. |
11/4 |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Four-time chase winner, most recently at Plumpton (2m1f, good) in November before falling in a Sandown Class 3 in January; returned from a break with two solid placed efforts in March over hurdles, latest when a close second at Taunton (2m3f, good) 21 days ago; switches back to fences in a very small field and should go well. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 1f 77y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Gave good account when close third in first-time cheekpieces at Ludlow (2m4f, good to soft) last month and perhaps not helped by the heavy ground when a beaten favourite next time; only 1-12 as a chaser but he's in the mix. |
5/1 |

4th 1 |
3rd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 2f 40y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Just 1-11 over fences but gave good account when close third in first-time cheekpieces at Ludlow (2m4f, good to soft) last month and should be fine on the slower ground here; one to consider. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 7 |
15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Made all in small-field Newton Abbot chase (2m, good to soft) in September and put a below-par run behind him when respectable third at Sedgefield (2m, good to soft) on Boxing Day but others appeal more all the same; moves back up in trip and sports first-time cheekpieces. |
