11st 4lb |
Consistent for previous yard but seems quirky and hung left en route to second-place finishes over 2m3f/2m5f the last twice; that said, could get his act together on debut for Dan Skelton and it's interesting that Harry Skelton prefers him over the higher-rated Loriko. |

11st 7lb |
Point and bumper runner-up who has posted a run of solid efforts in a novice and two maidens, latterly jumping better but hanging badly when second at Catterick (about 2m3f, good) in late December; tongue-tie goes on and he's still a leading contender. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Initially disappointing for new stable this year but easily landed gamble in Bangor handicap (2m7f, good) in March, and did not need to be at same level to justify skinny odds in Uttoxeter novice (2m7f, good) this month; has a big penalty but should still be hard to beat. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Miles clear with one other when beaten just over 1l in a Market Rasen 0-125 handicap latest (3m, good; RPR 118), and this novice contest isn't anywhere near as deep; yet to register form of that calibre with give underfoot, but possible he could get away with it here even if rain arrives. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
The same combination of a sharp track, good ground and stayers' trip of his peak Irish effort similarly worked the oracle at Bangor last time; a 9lb re-raise demands another big step forward, though that's not impossible having won with far more in hand than the near-3l verdict may infer. |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 50y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Encouraging efforts when third in both his bumpers in 2022 but he has been beaten 50l in a novice and maiden since coming back from a huge absence and needs to prove he retains ability. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Promising third in two bumpers in autumn 2022; however, tailed off at 33-1 over hurdles at Kelso last month following a mammoth absence and he needs to prove how much ability he retains. |

3rd 10 |
17th Nov 2022 Good 2m 0f 46y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Beaten about 15l by an impressive stablemate when third at 50-1 on last month's debut at Ayr (2m, good to soft); he's from a useful family and could pose more of a threat on this second start. |

Won a point last year and is still unexposed under rules but was pulled up at Bangor (3m, good) on handicap/chase debut in April; difficult to enthuse over. |

11st 7lb |
Bought for 25,000euros after his Irish point win in November but no show in three qualifying runs over hurdles (about 2m) and handicapper is yet to blink; goes up in trip for his fourth start in this sphere. |

Bought for 25,000euros after his Irish point win in November but he's struggled in two hurdle runs for new yard since; still early days in this sphere but he needs a transformation. |

Won an Irish point in November; sold for 25,000euros the following month; pulled up in a Uttoxeter maiden hurdle on rules debut (100-1) and best watched for now. |
