1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 150y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Has a patchy profile but he's 2-4 since switched to handicaps and that last success was after a break at Exeter (2m7f, good to soft) last month; up 5lb but he rallied well last time and is open to more progress at staying trips; shortlisted. |
3/1 |

6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Flopped badly in cheekpieces (now removed) at Exeter when last seen; scored at Lingfield (2m7f, good to soft; second handicap attempt) earlier in November and may still have more to offer; not written off. |

2nd 10 |
22nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
He's struggled on his three hurdle starts (2m/1m7f) but wasn't devoid of promise in his sole bumper and now goes handicapping off a lowly mark in a first-time tongue-tie; his useful half-brother Harry Senior improved when he was upped to this sort of trip and it will be no surprise if he takes a big step forward; the betting may prove key. |

6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |
12st 3lb |
Steadily progressive and his last three appearances feature two wins at Hereford (2m5f, good/soft) by an aggregate of 22l; well treated under a penalty for the latest performance (future mark 4lb higher); respected. |
5/2 |

1st 3 |
22nd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 163y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Got off the mark when scoring over C&D (good) in November off 10lb lower mark; never threatened when tenth of 14 finishers at Newbury (3m, good to soft) last month but may be worth another chance back here. |
5/1 |
|
10th 16 |
14th Jan 2026 Good 3m 0f 57y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Moving in the right direction (form figures 4331, all off 10lb lower) in handicaps, drawing clear for 10l success at Hereford (2m5f) most recently; has to deal with new mark but may continue to show progress. |

9th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 5y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Scored at the 25th attempt at Exeter (2m5f, good) last month and ran well off 6lb higher when runner-up back there under identical conditions ten days later; this hold-up performer could go well again but his overall record makes him a risky proposition for win purposes. |

2nd 6 |
17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 5f 137y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Confirmed earlier promise here when getting off the mark in handicap over C&D ten days ago; up 6lb but had something to spare there so merits serious consideration. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Course winner who was in good form until pulled up in 3m Chepstow handicap 19 days ago; he may have found that run coming too quickly so is worth another chance in refitted cheekpieces. |
4/1 |

26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Not always one to rely upon heavily but won at Exeter (2m5f, heavy) last month and stayed on for third (just behind Blue In The West) in big field there (2m7f, good to soft) nine days ago; could have a say. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Returned to form with 4l win here (2m5f, heavy) last month but was safely held when fourth over C&D (good to soft) 11 days ago and is not one to rely upon; others preferred. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Has failed to build on early promise in maiden hurdles and made little impact switched to a handicap with cheekpieces added at Exeter (2m7f, good to soft) last month; more is needed to reverse the current trend and get his career back on track. |
7/1 |

6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Placed in Irish point; regressive results in maiden hurdles but the initial effort wasn't devoid of promise; this combination of a switch to handicap level and first-time headgear may prompt a resurgence. |
8/1 |

7th 8 |
15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Kept on for respectable fourth on rules debut at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) in November but raced too freely and was below that form when fifth (behind Tao Enki) at Leicester (2m4f, soft) last month; improvement required. |

6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Record of 412 since handicapping, the win gained by 4l at Warwick (2m3f, good to soft); clear of the remainder at Ludlow (2m5f, soft) since; may show additional progress upped further in trip; remains of interest. |
7/2 |

4th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Only his second run in a handicap when a 4l winner at Warwick (2m3f, good to soft) where he was backed into favouritism; still looked green in front that day and might well be up to defying the 8lb rise. |
