11st 2lb |
Suited by the step back up to 3m at Doncaster (3m) last month on fourth chase attempt, building on reappearance effort and opening his account; may show additional progress upped further in distance; shortlisted. |

23rd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Irish point winner whose best effort over fences was when second of four finishers at Doncaster (3m, soft) in February; unseated early on the following month and well beaten over hurdles since; first-time cheekpieces are now fitted; may need softer ground to be seen to advantage. |
4/1 |

6th 7 |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Signs of promise in novice hurdles (including on good to soft) and runner-up over fences in handicap at Doncaster (3m, soft) in February; reverts to hurdles having unseated over fences last month; not ruled out. |
9/1 |

8th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 198y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
0-9 under rules but has made promising start to chasing career this season and posted good effort when second at Doncaster (3m, soft) last month; can cope with this drop back in trip and probably won't be far away. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Yet to win over fences (0-13); third at Doncaster (3m, soft; on first start since wind surgery) in February, but well beaten at Sedgefield a fortnight later; absent since (107 days) and now 5lb lower in the handicap; others far safer. |

19th Feb 2026 2m 5f 28y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Yet to win over fences; fair run having had a wind op at Doncaster last time (3m, soft) and could go well off his current good mark. |
3/1 |

3rd 5 |
5th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 214y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Runner-up at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft) last May and runs off 8lb lower today; however, he struggled on his four starts towards the end of last year; major turnaround required on first run since wind surgery. |

12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Bumper/hurdles winner in 2021 for previous stable; not exactly solid on his chase form since returning from long absence and needs to build on latest effort, which was somewhat resurgent but only modest (RPR 90). |
16/1 |
|
6th 2 |
26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 136y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Below form in 2022-23 on final two starts for Paul Nicholls and back from a mammoth absence with two uninspiring chase runs this year; cheekpieces (tried twice in 2022, ran well first occasion) return. |
40/1 |

6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Promising novice hurdler in 2021-22 season, but below par on final two starts for Paul Nicholls in 2022-23 and, unsurprisingly, shaped as if need of the run back from a mammoth absence on last month's chase debut; best watched at present. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 45y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
He's improved for going chasing this season and made it 2-5 over fences when winning at Exeter (3m, heavy) last month in first-time cheekpieces; his other win came on good to soft; a tongue-tie joins the cheekpieces; this progressive 6yo holds strong claims. |

20th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 54y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Has left hurdle form well behind since switched to fences, winning on chase debut at Huntingdon (2m4f; stays 3m) and solid efforts on both completed starts since; unseated rider when still travelling well in the lead at Doncaster on latest; not yet fully exposed and could play a significant role if handling testing conditions, with cheekpieces now added. |
15/8 |

5th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 214y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
He's left his hurdle form well behind since switched to fences, winning on chase debut at Huntingdon (2m4f, good to soft) and good efforts on both starts since, most recently second of four over C&D (soft); solid claims. |
