22nd May 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
9st 10lb |
Acts on soft; can make the running; won six (four over hurdles, two on Flat) of seven starts in a golden spell last February-October; soundly beaten over hurdles on latest three outings (in tough races on last two) and unraced beyond 1m4f on Flat, but he can't be comfortably dismissed in this small field. |

11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 1 |
10st 13lb |
Has set the pace in small fields; won six (four over hurdles, two on Flat) of seven starts in a golden spell last February-October, the final leg in a conditions event at this track; soundly beaten on both starts since (admittedly no chance in Grade 1 latest) and unraced beyond 2m1f, leaving him with plenty to prove in this search for a big career best. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 87y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Now has a mark of 90 on the Flat after last month's back-to-back 1m4f wins at Epsom; returns to hurdling on a high, therefore, and last season went well, finishing fourth in a Grade 1 at Aintree and three wins including a notable handicap performance in beating mostly older opposition under a big weight at Sandown; he's the standard-setter by some margin and all ground comes alike. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
0-14 on Flat turf and a beaten favourite at Musselburgh two weeks ago; his hurdles record (2-7) is better but he had no obvious excuse when fifth to Indemnity at Plumpton (33-1) last month; others appeal more. |

3rd 2 (4) |
26th Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won on Kempton AW (1m3f; not proven over this far) in February and latest start was up with his best hurdles form; 0-13 on Flat turf but that includes five seconds. |
7/2 |

5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
Won twice early-season and better again when second in classy small-field races at Cheltenham and Wincanton, the latest a Grade 2; returned from a break with a win on the AW so his run in the Morebattle at Kelso goes down as disappointing; the return of a hood is no bad thing; enjoys good ground. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Well below the fairly useful form he showed in the autumn when beaten odds-on favourite in Plumpton maiden (2m, good) in April but made amends when winning tactical match race at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) last month; his profile is still not entirely convincing but he has strong claims here. |

7th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 145y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Showed some fairly useful form last autumn but his handicap debut in December was disappointing and he was again below par when a short-odds second in Plumpton maiden (2m, good) last month; should be fine over this longer trip but has a point to prove. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Kelso novice winner in October (2m, good; effective on soft) and continued to run well until racing too freely in a Grade 2 at Kelso last time out; well held in a bumper when he tried a hood once before but this aid is worth another go. |
20/1 |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 25y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Won on hurdle debut here (2m, good) in October and has continued to run well, most recently fourth on handicap debut at Haydock (1m7f, good to soft) last month; needs something extra today but his stable won this last year and is having a much better February than January; not ruled out. |
40/1 |

17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 144y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Won in good style on hurdle debut at Kelso (2m, good) in October and fourth in a couple of warm races subsequently (2m, good/soft); in good hands to progress and he brings potential to this handicap debut. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 174y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
0-9 but was runner-up on handicap debut at Haydock (2m3f, good to soft) last month and he filled the same position behind an odds-on rival in a maiden at Ascot (2m3f, good) last time; needs to find more at this new trip but he still has potential and is a half-brother to a 2m7f chase winner. |
9/2 |

2nd 3 |
29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 63y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Has something to find on all the figures with West Hill Verde but this eight-race maiden probably ran his best race yet in a Haydock handicap (2m3f, good to soft) and the winner is an improver who has followed up; effective on good ground so should give his running. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 10 |
5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 2f 191y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Went close in his final two bumpers last season but has been set some stiff tasks and looked a work in progress over hurdles; step up in trip should help and a better effort could be in the offing now handicapping. |
