11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Completed a four-timer (soft/good to soft) and made it three handicap wins in a row when cruising into the lead in the 2m4f EBF Final at Sandown last month; highly progressive and could play a leading role up in grade. |

1st 3 |
7th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 178y Class 1 |
11st 11lb |
Progressing rapidly and completed a hat-trick of hurdles wins at Windsor (2m4f, soft) in January, coming from rear; more improvement required off 7lb higher mark and that's entirely possible; high on the list. |

18th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Only had four runs and won the last two, a maiden at Perth (2m4f, soft) and handicap at Lingfield (2m3f, good to soft; comfortably); 8lb higher now but clearly on the upgrade and commands considerable respect. |

24th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 127y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Last run too bad to be true but had been consistent in novice/maidens and the previous third at Musselburgh (3m, good to soft) came in a strong race; the potential is there to be competitive off this mark on handicap debut. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 5 |
27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 84y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Runner-up on first three hurdle starts (2m4f/3m, soft/good to soft) before third of five in strong novice at Musselburgh (3m, good to soft) four weeks ago; suspicion his limitations may again be exposed today but he's receiving weight all round and might not be far away. |
11/2 |

3rd 5 |
31st Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Runner-up on first two hurdle starts (2m4f/3m, soft/good to soft) before 12l second at Ayr (2m4f, soft) four weeks ago; today's step back up in trip looks a firm plus and he's receiving weight all round; possible player. |

21st Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Dual bumper winner who has made the frame on all three hurdling starts, most recently when close second at Kelso (2m5f, good; first-time cheekpieces) last month; ought to be right in the thick of things again here. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 3 |
17th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Dual bumper winner on good ground and encountered the same conditions for his two placed efforts over hurdles (2m/2m4f); RPRs leave with a fair bit to find with Jackson Lamb, though the addition of cheekpieces could help his jumping which hasn't been foot perfect; he was taken out of a soft-ground engagement. |
5/2 |

27th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Son of My Dream Boat went 2-2 in bumpers at Kelso and Market Rasen but he failed to land the odds on his hurdling debut when third of eight at Uttoxeter (2m) 33 days ago; he may still do better in this sphere so needs considering. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 171y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Better could have been expected in a maiden at Ayr last time but prior to that he was second of 12 over this C&D (good to soft) on his handicap debut, and he can be in the mix if returning to form. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 4 |
23rd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 110y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Runner-up in two maiden hurdles towards the end of last year (2m5f/2m4f, soft/good to soft) before occupying the same position on handicap debut at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft); vulnerable if bumping into anything useful but he can give another good account. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Weak 16-1 chance on handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good; first-time tongue-tie) and never counted; cheekpieces are added. |
20/1 |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Unexposed; second in two maiden hurdles (beaten 43l last time) but best effort when fifth in a Perth maiden in October (2m4f, soft); improvement likely on handicap debut with a tongue-tie tried; chance. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 2 |
10th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Didn't show a huge amount in two points; second of five at Plumpton on rules debut (2m4f, good); improved on that before running out of steam at Perth (2m4f, soft) last October when last seen; likely to need another significant step up to win this and a sound surface should help. |

21st Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Out of a half-sister to smart jumper Tombstone; unable to justify favouritism when only third of five on bumper debut at Ayr (heavy) in February but combination of wind surgery, tongue-tie and better ground may enable improvement on this hurdling debut. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Fair third in a Newcastle handicap hurdle in January (2m7f, heavy) but well behind Ck O'Mara at Ayr next time (3m, soft); reverts to hurdles after failing to finish in two runs over fences (running creditably on first occasion). |
20/1 |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Mistakes eventually caught up with him when he fell three out on last month's chase debut over C&D (soft); however, he was in second at the time and could play a leading role if first-time cheekpieces help his jumping. |

25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |

Maiden who hasn't proved easy to catch right over hurdles this term, beating one in 3m Ayr handicap 18 days ago; starts out over fences today and others appeal more. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |

Returned from break with fairly encouraging run in C&D novice in April but was pulled up in 2m4f handicap here last month and has a fair bit more to prove than some of these. |

13th May 2026 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Seven-race maiden; unseated rider on his first two attempts over hurdles and hasn't set the world alight in novice company on last two starts; it's notable that he steps back up in trip for handicap debut (is a half-brother to 2m4f winner Cave Hill) and that should bring about some improvement. |
12/1 |

24th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Unseated quite early in his first two runs over hurdles but finished a remote ninth at Ayr when 150-1; the only positive is the return to a drier surface, as the ground was good when runner-up on bumper debut. |

Half-brother to top-class hurdler The New One but disappointed in three bumpers for Nicky Henderson in 2024 and makes stable/hurdle debut after 523-day absence. |

16th May 2024 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |

Last month's midfield finish at Ludlow represented an improvement, if not the major one perhaps anticipated following wind surgery and he still finished weakly (beaten 10l); bit more to prove now. |
