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. |

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. |

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. |
50/1 |

13th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Stable did well in bumpers last season and this 4yo looked threatening at Uttoxeter until fading late on (2m, good; beaten 7l; 25-1); that's something to build on. |

Yet to be placed from six starts under rules and fared no better when sixth of eight here (2m3f) last month on handicap debut. |
