Never landed a blow in Pertemps qualifier at Haydock last time, failing to back up his Windsor effort and taking record since winning on rules debut to 0-9; not the percentage call. |

14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Placed both hurdle starts since returning from lengthy layoff (pulled up after bad early mistake on chase debut in between), finishing second to reopposing Go To War in a competitive 3m event at Windsor (soft) last time; his previous outing over C&D (also soft) resulted in a very good second in a series final; has to enter calculations. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |

Acts on any ground; comfortably justified favouritism upped to 3m at Newbury (heavy) most recently, taking strike-rate over hurdles to 4-6 and record in handicaps to 2-3; progressing well and commands respect. |

7th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 57y Class 3 |

3-5 hurdling, notably when winning an 18-runner race at Cheltenham (2m5f, soft) in November on handicap debut; novice winner next time and creditable third of 15 when favourite for the Lanzarote Handicap at Kempton (2m5f, good) latest start; dam won at up to 3m and he now looks worth a go at it. |

29th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 122y Class 3 |

Clear second to a subsequent Listed winner at Chepstow (soft) last autumn in the first of his two bumpers; made hurdling debut after wind surgery last month and he landed the odds with a comfortable win over C&D (good to soft); sets the standard under a penalty and he could have a lot more to offer in this sphere. |

Successful six times under regular rider Ben Sutton, including on heavy going at Uttoxeter in 2024 and over 3m at Newbury last February; the latter was his final start for Dan Skelton and he's been well beaten this term on both runs for new yard; needs a career best to win this. |

Has a record of 2-4 this term but gained the second success in one of the weaker Pertemps qualifiers and faces a stiffer task off 6lb higher in this field; possibly unsuited by Windsor most recently. |

31st Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 103y Class 1 |

Ran creditably sole start here; won at Carlisle (2m4f, soft) on reappearance in just his second handicap and stuck to his task extremely well when going close in a major handicap at Haydock (3m, good to soft) later in November; something seemed amiss at Windsor (2m4f, good) on New Year's Day but the Haydock performance ensures that he needs a second look. |

A winner the last time he contested a Class 3 handicap (on reappearance) and he was boxing on when beaten a little under 10l in a deep Uttoxeter handicap last time out (2m7f, soft); looks sure to stay this far and has the assistance of Sean Bowen. |

31st Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 103y Class 1 |

Irish maiden point winner who also scored on handicap debut at Windsor (3m, good to soft; five ran) in November; creditable third of six at Carlisle (3m1f, soft) three weeks later, showing that he needs marked improvement off the same mark today, but these are relatively early days. |

Second at the 2024 Cheltenham Festival and he started last season with two wins, including a gritty success in the Becher at Aintree (3m2f); struggled in the Grand National last month but he's now only 2lb higher than for his last win and looks interesting on this drop back in trip and class; last success was on soft but most of his wins have been on good ground. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 74y Class 1 |

Second at the 2024 Cheltenham Festival and started this season with two wins, notably by a short head from Mr Vango in the 3m2f Becher over these fences (wore cheekpieces second time); warmed up for this over hurdles after three months off; the Becher performance was doughty stuff but his only go at a marathon trip was last year's National in which he finished a remote tenth, always behind. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |

Retains lots of ability despite his advancing years and won a Pertemps qualifier at Musselburgh in February (3m, good to soft); Uttoxeter was disappointing in a race he won the previous year, but he's shown bouncebackability in the past. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |

Veteran who won in a big field at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good to soft; 1lb higher today) last March; tailed off both starts since (Freddie Keighley on board last time) but with nearly eight months off in between and his trainer (also runs Sonigino) is always one to note here. |

Below par on last three starts, most recently at Uttoxeter last month following wind surgery; however, he won off this mark on his reappearance at Aintree in November and first-time cheekpieces might give him a boost; in top hands and not written off. |

Returned from layoff with three below-par chase/hurdle runs in February/March but, having swapped cheekpieces for blinkers, fared much better on last two appearances; lost out only by a nose after making most of the running at Warwick (3m1f, good) last time; can make another bold bid. |
