13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Front-runner who has won his last three starts (2m7f-3m2f, good to soft/good), the latest at Carlisle nine days ago; clearly thriving and could be tough to beat for a stable that is in fantastic form. |

1st 4 |
4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Held on gamely to make all in four-runner Doncaster chase (3m2f, good to soft) last month and is now 2-4 for current stable; has more on his plate here and needs to prove himself on a right-handed track but still respected in current form. |

11st 8lb |
Won a C&D chase for Sam England in February 2025 (good); doubled his tally in this sphere when scoring at Newcastle ten days ago (good to soft); penalised 7lb; major contender. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Multiple hurdles winner at up to 3m2f, including on a sound surface; 0-6 over fences but went very close at Doncaster (3m2f, good to soft) in March having looked the likely winner; leading contender from an unchanged mark, if repeating that effort. |
9/2 |

10th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 59y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Multiple hurdles winner at up to 3m2f, including on a sound surface; 0-6 over fences but went very close having looked the likely winner at Doncaster (3m2f, good to soft) latest; big player from an unchanged mark, if repeating that effort. |

2nd 2 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 3m 2f 1y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Two wins over hurdles last season (3m/3m2f, good/good to soft); has failed to finish in three of his five starts over fences, best run when second at Taunton in December (2m7f, good); could go well but a bit risky. |

5th 2 |
13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Inconsistent this season and well beaten at Bangor a fortnight ago; however, he won off this mark at Catterick (3m1f, good) in November and was a good second over C&D (good to soft) last March; shouldn't be written off. |
16/1 |
|
7th 1 |
31st Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Only 1lb higher than for his Catterick win in November (3m1f, good) and went close back there in January; does have his off days (finished last when third on final run) but there's a big run in him if he fancies it. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 1 |
13th Mar 2026 Good 3m 2f 1y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Capable on his day as he showed when winning at Catterick in November (3m1f, good); poor efforts in two of his three runs since; hard to assess. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 3m 2f 1y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Off the mark on second run over fences at Leicester in December (2m6f, good; cheekpieces on for second time); up 5lb; takes another step up in trip, but a possible. |
2/1 |
|
8th 13 |
22nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Has looked limited so far but treated accordingly for his handicap debut and his yard is always respected. |
25/1 |
|
7th 1 |
25th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Some promise when fourth of 12 on his bumper debut at Warwick (soft) in December, but has shown little in another bumper and two starts over hurdles since; may be one for handicaps is due course. |
14/1 |
