4th 7 |
2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
Has won five of his eight chases since November (2m-2m3f); he has predictably shot up the weights and all wins have come under Rian Corcoran who was claiming 7lb or 10lb; therefore, has a lot more on his plate now he's raised in grade off a 5lb higher mark than last time. |

1st 2 |
15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Has enjoyed a fine time of it since returning in November (1131142); still 7lb above his last winning mark and although he won over a similar trip at Ffos Las, may be at his very best over shorter; shortlisted nonetheless. |
100/30 |

2nd 6 |
21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Four chase wins this season, the latest from off the pace at Taunton (2m, good to soft; also suited by soft) last month; needs to rebound from a duff effort one week later but further progress remains possible. |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 149y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Early casualty behind Touquet two runs ago and 2m3f looked too far for him last time out, but he appeared value for a greater rise than 5lb for his Lingfield success (2m, good to soft; Touquet over 1l third) before all of that; remains of interest. |
4/1 |

3rd 3 |
9th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 51y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Off the mark on third chase start when scoring at Lingfield (2m, good to soft) in December; fair run over this trip at Ffos Las on previous start but he fell last time out; a possible on earlier form. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
0-11 over fences; well handicapped on some of his placed form for Sam Thomas in 2023-24 campaign but ran poorly on only appearance last season and made low-key reappearance for new stable last month; revival needed. |
12/1 |

30th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
0-10 over fences when trained by Sam Thomas; ran several good races in defeat and will be suited by today's trip/ground but was out of form when last seen last November; market may guide on stable debut. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Has won twice since February but he's very hit and miss, and might be better over shorter. |
8/1 |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Close second in this race last year; prevailed at Bangor (2m1f, good to soft) most recently, bouncing back from a poor effort and taking record since wearing cheekpieces to 2-4; likely player in the retained headgear. |
7/2 |
|
1st 5 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won narrowly at Ffos Las last month (2m, heavy) but his tailed-off run back there 20 days ago was a reminder of his inconsistency; he's capable, and on this ground, but comes with risks. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Down to this mark when nearly winning for the first time in seven years at Huntingdon in March and a slightly lesser effort when third at Hereford (also 2m, good) came just one week later; not ruled out. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
25th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Came very close to a first win in seven years when narrowly denied at Huntingdon (2m, good) seven days ago; can race keenly and unlikely to get an easy lead here, but worth considering if reproducing that effort off the same mark. |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Has dived 19lb in just four months since arrival from Ireland; jumping frailties again all too evident at Taunton latest (2m3f, heavy). |
40/1 |
|
8th 10 |
3rd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Won Clonmel handicap (2m4f, soft) just over a year ago but has looked out of sorts on all four hurdle/chase starts for new stable since the autumn, and it takes a leap of faith to support him here. |
25/1 |
|
11 |
20th Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 113y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Won Clonmel handicap (2m4f, soft) a year ago; well beaten over hurdles on seasonal/stable debut in October and pulled up in two subsequent chaes; may yet come good for Evan Williams but has a lot more to prove than some of these; tongue-tie added. |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Very well handicapped on old hurdling form but, following a long absence, his belated switch to fences has not gone well with form figures of P55 (from 2m3f to 3m). |
25/1 |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Very well handicapped on old hurdling form; ultimately well beaten in both chases since returning from mammoth absence in September but travelled well for a long way here (3m, good) on latter occasion and today's trip-and-ground combination may suit him better; worth a second look. |
14/1 |

16th Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Course winner over hurdles in 2021; pulled up when 40-1 for last month's chasing debut at Stratford (race won by Radharc Na Slaine) but that was his first outing for 900 days and he might come on for the run. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Inconsistent 7yo who has modest 1-21 strike-rate and needs to rebound from a heavy defeat last month; competes off career-low mark here but needs a good boost from the new cheekpieces. |
10/1 |
|
5th 11 |
26th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 135y Class 5 |
10st 4lb

Inconsistent but wasn't beaten far when third of four at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good to soft) and then fell early at Ffos Las (4-1); should be in the mix. |
4/1 |
|
5 |
16th Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
0-5 over fences and not very consistent but wasn't beaten far when third of four at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good to soft) last month and remains on career-low mark for this first venture beyond that trip. |
4/1 |
