27th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Out of a useful jumper and beat his nine rivals quite comfortably at Ffos Las (soft; Big John Ollie third) in October; struggled in a subsequent Listed race but back in calmer waters here and has a big role to play. |

Similar sort of form in making the frame at Worcester (good to soft) and Warwick (good); if at the same level here he won't be far away. |

No significant threat to Barrow Hill Lad when keeping-on third at Ffos Las (soft) in October but stuck to his task well and was beaten under 4l in the end; open to improvement and goes on the shortlist. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Won in a first-time tongue-tie (retained since) at Taunton (2m, heavy) in February on second hurdle start and went close at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) last month; he's shaped as though he'll be suited by the step up in trip and there's lots to like on his handicap debut. |

2nd 1 |
19th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won by a neck in a first-time tongue-tie (retained) at Taunton (2m, heavy) last month on his second hurdle start and the runner-up has since gone one better; showed promise on good to soft in a bumper (unraced on good); strong claims for top trainer who is 5-7 here in the last five seasons. |

12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |

Showed ability when reaching the frame in two bumpers (trained by Tom Weston on debut) but beaten 30l when fifth on 2m Exeter hurdle debut (good to soft) five weeks ago; tongue-tied on the back of that; Harry Cobden is on stablemate Babyken. |

11st 5lb |
Made a winning handicap debut over C&D (soft), on his third start over hurdles, in January; up 7lb but still unexposed and there should be more to come. |

1st 3 |
24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Promise in Irish points and during his early days under rules, with the form of his third at Warwick last time (2m5f, good to soft) having worked out well (front two successful since); of definite interest in his first handicap. |
10/1 |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |

Point form is nothing to crow about but he joined a good yard for £42,000 and improvement is on the cards. |

With John McConnell when fourth at Perth and second at Sedgefield (again on good ground), probably performing to a similar level; likely to need more here. |

From Irish stable with 8-27 (30%) strike-rate in British bumpers during last five seasons; dropped to fourth after making the running at Perth (good) last month but that was still a promising debut, and the new tongue-tie may aid his finishing effort here. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Bumper efforts were fairly promising but her hurdles runs less so; new trainer fits a hood for handicap debut on what's her first run since December; others safer. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |

Some doubts as to what she achieved when runner-up on heavy ground in her first bumper but she ran quite well at Cheltenham when midfield in a race won by Poetisa who has since joined Willie Mullins for big money; this mare has a nice pedigree. |
