22nd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Rampant 8yo who has won his last four starts (2m3f to 3m2f), most recently when staying on well to defy a hike up the weights at Sandown (2m4f, heavy) three weeks ago; up a further 6lb but the five-timer looks a distinct possibility. |

31st Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 178y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Record of P4111, all in Class 5, since joining current yard and switched to handicaps; gained the wins by an aggregate of about 39l and gives the impression he'll cope with this rise in grade, off new mark; progressive and commands respect. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 57y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Lightly raced junior hurdle winner; back from wind surgery when second in a three-finisher field at Fontwell (2m5f, heavy) and the winner is seriously progressive; best form has been in the mud but needs considering. |
10/1 |

2nd 3 |
22nd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Made all in junior hurdle at Chepstow (2m, heavy) 13 months ago and respectable third of five when back in action at Ffos Las (2m, soft) in November; 3-1 but pulled up in Leicester novice (about 2m4f; heavy) next time when his trainer blamed the tacky ground; makes his handicap debut following wind surgery and it is likely we haven't see the best of him. |

1st 5 |
28th Jan 2025 Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Half-brother to useful Irish jumper Gua Du Large; unable to justify warm favouritism when only third of seven on debut at Warwick (2m, good to soft) in November but significant positives can still be drawn from that performance and he's open to improvement. |

17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
His early-season form (2m3f-2m7f) offers encouragement off this mark; last two runs well below his best, though heavy ground was a feasible excuse the last time when a tongue-tie joined his regular cheekpieces; hard to rule out. |
14/1 |

3rd 1 |
22nd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Won here (extended 2m3f, good to soft) off just 2lb lower on his October reappearance; creditable placings when claimer ridden in six-runner races on his next two starts but was tailed off in a better race than this at Kempton last time; drops back down in grade with a tongue-tie joining his usual cheekpieces and he can't be ruled out. |
5/1 |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Good second off today's mark on latest hurdling start at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft) in January and is a contender if judged on that evidence but his chasing debut in April was disappointing and Harry Cobden has taken an outside ride in this race. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Put a disappointing run of form behind him when returning to winning ways over C&D (good) 11 days ago, making all; whether he can reproduce that effort is another matter but he is still well handicapped on his old form. |
11/4 |
|
1st 7 |
9th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
His two wins came on soft in April 2024; out of sorts over fences and hurdles this term; cheekpieces return and has dropped to a career-low mark but doesn't look ready to take advantage. |
14/1 |

8th 3 |
4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
His two wins came on soft in April 2024; out of sorts over fences and hurdles this term; drops back in trip but his best form has been over further. |
