7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 44y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Has bettered his winning hurdle form when runner-up on all three starts over fences; his latest effort at Kempton over Christmas is solid form and he can get off the mark over the larger obstacles now. |

3rd Jun 2025 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Lightly raced and has mixed record over hurdles since winning Irish point debut in January 2023; scored on handicap debut at Ffos Las (2m4f, soft; first run after wind surgery) in April and will be fine on the quicker surface; very unexposed at about 3m and switches to chasing with significant potential. |

10st 5lb |
Won a maiden hurdle at Ffos Las in February 2025 (2m6f, heavy); two fair runs over fences this term (fell at the fourth last time) but taking on stronger company here. |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 59y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Quick to show fairly useful (winning) form over hurdles and he's made a promising start in this sphere after 13 months off, runner-up in 3m1f handicap at Hereford 25 days ago; this lightly raced son of Mount Nelson looks to have more to offer; merits serious consideration eased 1lb. |

7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 44y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won 2m6f Ffos Las maiden hurdle (heavy; second in a bumper on good) last February; switched to fences for his chase and handicap debut at Exeter (3m, heavy) 16 days ago and weakened as if that first outing for over 12 months was needed; open to improvement. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Built on his Southwell chase debut second when going one better at Hereford (3m1f, good to soft) in December; had a major blip over C&D next time but he bounced back with a respectable effort on good ground at Hereford (lost his left-hind shoe) last month; still has potential as a chaser and he's in the mix with cheekpieces added. |

7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 44y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Built on his Southwell chase debut second when going one better over C&D (good to soft) in December; that form has taken a few knocks, including when this one pulled up at Wincanton in January, although Warren Greatrex did report that the 6yo was unsuited by the soft ground. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Has won a point and a novice hurdle; suffered a near miss on chase debut but went one better in determined fashion at Hereford (3m1f, good to soft); this is tougher off 6lb higher but he's heading the right way. |

7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 44y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Gained his bumper and maiden hurdle wins at this time of year but doesn't obviously arrive in much form having pulled up in a handicap hurdle and chase since reappearing after wind surgery. |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Point/bumper/2m maiden hurdle winner; remains lightly raced but ran poorly on last month's seasonal/handicap hurdle debut (2m3f) and it's hard to know what to expect from him over this much longer trip on chase debut. |
