10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 103y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Seems versatile as regards ground; highly progressive sort whose overall record is 7-9; has looked best over hurdles when making the running and impressively defied a big penalty at Newbury for his most recent success; good second in the Supreme at Cheltenham, despite a final-flight error and getting involved in some bumping on the run-in (bare form can be marked up); the pick on ratings. |
4/7 |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Has seemed best over hurdles when making the running and met his sole defeat when those tactics weren't employed; impressively defied a big penalty at Newbury (2m, heavy) most recently, taking record in this sphere to 3-4 and overall strike-rate to 7-8, as well as achieving a very notable RPR; related to a Cheltenham Festival winner for his yard; worth his place at this level and should make a bold bid. |

7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Acts on soft ground; flopped at Sandown returned to Listed level but progressive and unbeaten otherwise; rebounded in emphatic fashion over C&D last time, taking Newbury record to 2-2; easily beat Kadastral at Chepstow in the autumn; leading contender, even with a 10lb penalty. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Solid record over 2m includes wins in valuable bumper and maiden hurdle at Newbury; latter performance is flanked by second-place finishes behind smart Sober Glory who ran well in the Supreme on Tuesday; likely to stay this new trip and commands respect. |

7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
No match for Sober Glory at Chepstow but may well prove a bigger threat in this rematch, being still open to plenty of further improvement; like that rival he's 2-2 at Newbury, having won a valuable bumper (good) last March and C&D maiden hurdle (good to soft) latest start; respected. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
0-8 on the Flat and he's been well held at biggish prices in three hurdle runs this winter; now switches to a handicap but opening mark looks on the high side and he needs improvement. |
9/1 |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Maiden who had plenty of chances on the Flat and has been beaten 22l and 64l in two races over hurdles at this track; admittedly, he was never going to mix it with Sober Glory last time, but probably one for handicaps. |

Inconsistent maiden on Flat and failed to make much of a splash in C&D juvenile hurdle last time; opposed. |

8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Never figured in heavy-ground event won by a smart sort last time; consistent efforts in two bumpers and a novice hurdle otherwise but needs improvement to get off the mark; stable second string. |

7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Has made the frame in two bumpers and a Market Rasen novice hurdle (2m2f) for a consistent start to his career; however, has a lot to find on bare figures and yard holds a much stronger chance with Kadastral. |

With a top stable and showed significant promise when fourth in two autumn bumpers (good/good to soft); needs to improve here but has a future over jumps. |

Made the frame in Irish bumper but has finished last in a couple of C&D events for new yard; very weak claims. |

Some promise in brief Flat career but he hasn't shown much in his four runs over hurdles; had wind surgery before penultimate start. |

Showed promise on the Flat for Karl Burke, but hasn't shown much in three runs over hurdles, including on first run after wind surgery last time; this better ground may suit but plenty to prove. |
