12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Has a consistent record, latterly over 2m4f with win at Market Rasen (good to soft) then respectable sixth in big novice handicap at Sandown; gives the impression he'll be as effective back down in trip; the form pick. |

6th 8 |
7th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 178y Class 1 |
11st 8lb |
Represents the same trainer and jockey combination as last year's winner, Laurens Bay; beaten a neck by Precious Metal at Lingfield in December but off the mark at Market Rasen (2m5f, good to soft) seven weeks later, not hard pressed to assert; has to be considered. |
12/1 |

1st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Third in all three bumpers last season and close second in two Lingfield hurdles this term (2m3f/2m, good to soft); that hurdling form puts him right in the thick of things here, and he probably still has potential. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Point winner who has finished in the first three on all four hurdle starts (soft/good to soft), most recently third on handicap debut in the competitive EBF Final at Sandown (2m4f); strong claims on the back of that. |
11/8 |
|
3rd 16 |
7th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 178y Class 1 |
10st 13lb |
Won an Irish point but is 0-3 over hurdles, put firmly in place by Cinquenta at Market Rasen (2m5f, good to soft) five weeks ago; one of two runners for Olly Murphy and Scorpio Rising looks the first string. |
16/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
1st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Irish point winner; placed behind useful rival on rules debut at Ffos Las (2m4f, soft) in October and not discredited when clear second of four behind next-time-out winner there three weeks later; major player. |

15th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Scrambled home in novice hurdle at Leicester (1m7f, soft) last December; better form, including here, when placed on starts either side; cut no ice when 28-1 for EBF Final at Sandown (2m4f, soft) in April on handicap debut but should still bring potential switched to chasing in this second jumps campaign. |
6/1 |

9th 17 |
7th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 178y Class 1 |
10st 13lb |
Second runner for Henrietta Knight; scrambled home at Leicester (1m7f, soft) just after Christmas and ran about as well as could have been expected behind Cinquenta and Gee Force Flyer at Market Rasen (2m5f, good to soft) next time; this is warmer. |
33/1 |
|
3rd 1 |
1st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Bumper winner who opened hurdling account at second attempt, with hard-fought success at Leicester (1m7f, soft) in December; probably needs a better performance to overcome a penalty here but his pedigree suggests the longer trip will suit. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Better again when fifth at Carlisle in March (hung left late), though got outpaced over the 2m3f, which doesn't bode well for this drop back to 2m; mark still looks on the high side; tongue-tie is added. |
16/1 |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Not entirely solid on form but shaped with promise on penultimate start, catching the attention of the stewards, and may improve now handicapping; market support should be heeded. |
12/1 |
|
6th 3 |
1st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Posed no threat on first three hurdling starts (1m7f-2m1f), with last two runs attracting stewards' attention; upped in trip here; will probably be of greater interest if/when the handicapper sees fit to give him a mark. |

19th Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Beaten about 40l at Stratford (2m6f, good) last month and has now been unplaced all 12 hurdle runs; effectively 1lb higher here and can't be recommended on this drop back in trip. |
33/1 |

5th Sep 2026 Good 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
13-race maiden who has yet to be placed and was a well-held fifth of eight over C&D 11 days ago; no appeal from 3lb out of the weights. |
33/1 |

5th 7 |
25th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
0-12 and showing little signs that a win is imminent; her mark continues to slide and hard to fancy. |
