25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Still unexposed under rules but struggled in his first two handicaps (hurdle/chase; both 3m); swaps cheekpieces (worn once) for first-time visor and drops back in trip for this hurdle return; 5lb out of the weights. |
33/1 |

2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |

Point winner; well beaten in four runs over hurdles, including on handicap debut at Perth last time; now goes chasing with cheekpieces tried. |
20/1 |

7th 11 |
22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won Irish point in October 2023 (3m, soft/heavy; runner-up has won since); hasn't shown much in maiden/novice hurdles over 2m/2m4f but marked improvement expected now up in trip for handicap debut. |

11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 149y Class 5 |

Seems of very limited ability and she was pulled up in 2m4f Hexham novice hurdle 17 days ago; handicap debutante. |

13th Jul 2026 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Kept on for third on handicap hurdle debut at Ffos Las (2m, good) in May but may not have stayed 2m4f when below that form last month; tongue-tie is fitted and this drop back in trip could see him in a better light. |
10/1 |

4th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Better round of jumping inspired a major uplift on last month's handicap debut at Ffos Las (2m, good), shaping as if this longer trip might give him more chance of defying a still ungenerous-looking mark. |
4/1 |

Verdict
Lucinda Russell and Michael Scudamore saddle three, with Biglesisback setting the benchmark on peak form, which includes a C&D second. However, she is dropping back in trip and isn’t necessarily progressing either, so there are reasons to oppose. MISTER R, who attracted market support on Kelso debut, is the suggestion. He shaped respectably there and the winner of that race (Kaka’s Cousin) has given a good account at Sandown since. [Mark Rowntree]
