3rd 13 |
18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 2 |
10st 8lb |
Improved form to get off the mark over fences at the third attempt at Wetherby (3m, soft) in February; hit with a 7lb rise but the short-head runner-up Diamond Dealer went one better next time and this 6yo is in good hands to continue to progress; respected. |

1st 5 |
26th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 45y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Went close over hurdles at Perth (3m, soft) in October before promising fourth on chase debut at Kelso (2m7f, soft) in a race that worked out well; looked short of pace on ground that was good to soft, good in places at Haydock (3m1f) last time, finishing soundly beaten in third (Ski Lodge second); could be in the mix if today's conditions place greater emphasis on stamina. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Won in the autumn on first two chase starts (2m7f, good/good to soft; including here) then failed to stay 4m here in the Borders National; bounced back with short-head defeat at Wetherby (3m, soft) last month and there can be optimism he'll be fine at this shorter distance; major player. |

2nd 4 |
26th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 45y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Failed to settle and reportedly made a respiratory noise at Kelso (4m, soft) in December, when he ran well for a very long way before weakening (pulled up); 2-2 over fences previously (2m7f, good/good to soft) and there could still be mileage in his mark now back down in trip. |

16th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
RPRs have been improving gently since sent handicap chasing, and a better jump at the last may have seen him oblige at Newcastle latest (3m, good to soft); won't mind good ground, having won an Irish point on it. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 1 |
31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Maiden point winner who is 0-9 under rules; however, best form when switched to chasing for handicaps at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) and Wetherby (3m, soft) on last two outings and he may well be on the premises. |
11/4 |

3rd 6 |
26th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 45y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
3m point winner who is 0-8 under rules; respectable fourth on chase debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) last month; there's stamina in his pedigree and he's a possible improver now up in trip; not ruled out. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Yet to get off the mark over fences in five starts; cheekpieces worn last time are retained; steps back in trip but is getting expensive to follow. |
7/1 |
|
4th 9 |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 125y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Has a win and a second (over C&D) from two runs here; bit disappointing at Wetherby five weeks ago after looking dangerous early in the straight, but cheekpieces and a return to Haydock could see a revival. |
15/2 |
|
4th 3 |
26th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 45y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Runner-up behind progressive winners in December on his first two chase starts (3m/3m1f, heavy/good to soft); can make mistakes and he fell at Hereford last time, but could have a big part to play granted a clear round. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Dual chase winner who got himself back on track in the new cheekpieces when third to The Boola Boss at Chepstow; no good thing to reverse those placings despite a 5lb pull on the winner but definite each-way chance. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 3 |
11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Acts on good and soft ground; won two chase handicaps at Hereford (3m1f) late in 2025 but he's struggled in his last two starts; still has potential in this sphere but he needs to get back on track with cheekpieces added. |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 45y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Point and maiden hurdle winner who ran well in fourth over C&D (soft) in December on second chase start, with disappointing efforts either side; however, he's had wind surgery since last time and is capable of being in the mix if he's at the top of his game. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
24th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 2f 13y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Lightly raced 7yo; pulled up in his first chase but did well to finish close up at Wetherby (3m, soft; new cheekpieces) given he didn't jump all that well; doesn't have a lot to find with Aboutdamntime and his jumping might well improve with experience. |
7/1 |

3rd 3 |
28th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 4f 118y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
6l winner of an Irish maiden point and sold for £200,000 later last March; came from off the pace to take third of nine on hurdling debut at Cheltenham (2m4f, soft) on New Year's Day and readily found what he needed on run-in when 2-9 in maiden at Lingfield (2m7f, soft) four weeks ago; has Cheltenham 3m Grade 1 novice entry. |
