16th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 219y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Two near-misses in Irish points but he found plenty when winning a Hereford bumper on yard debut; mixed fortunes over hurdles but he was a convincing winner of his third handicap, here (2m, soft) latest, more so than the 1.5l winning distance suggests; up 5lb; obvious potential on chase debut. |

23rd Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Won his sole bumper but he's 0-5 over hurdles; ran creditably when a 3l third on handicap debut here (2m4f, good to soft) in December but he was disappointing at Fontwell (2m3f, soft) last month; has a bit to prove after that and not sure this drop back in trip is ideal. |
9/2 |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Second in two Irish points last autumn and battled well to go one better in Hereford bumper (good to soft) on rules debut in February (runner-up won next time); makes hurdle debut here; features prominently in calculations. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Less contested lead than often the case when making it seventh time lucky over fences at Huntingdon last month (2m, good), and Stratford second off 6lb higher since consolidated that form; up another 1lb here but pace rivalry could prove more the issue. |
11/4 |

2nd 4 |
19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 213y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Started off for Sarah Humphrey with two disappointing hurdle runs in the autumn but has turned things around over fences since, and kept on well to win by 7l at Huntingdon (2m, good) a fortnight ago; recent 6lb rise demands more from him here, though. |
9/4 |

11st 6lb |
All three wins over hurdles when trained in Ireland; running well at present and second of five at Plumpton (2m1f, good to soft) last month; threatening to get his head in front for this yard. |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Front-runner whose two wins last year came at Sedgefield when making all; has had excuses since returning from a short break in May, possibly stretching his stamina over 2m5f first time and finding the race coming too soon latest; only 1lb higher than for his latest win but needs to step up. |
10/1 |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 213y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Front-runner whose two wins last year came at Sedgefield when making all; his suspect stamina gave out in a match at Hereford (2m5f, good) 18 days ago but this track back down in trip should play to his strengths; regular hood returns after being omitted last time. |
13/8 |
|
2nd 2 |
12th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Front-runner; won twice at Sedgefield last year (good to firm/good; up to extended 2m3f) and returned from a break to finish third of five at Plumpton (2m1f, good to soft) in March, not beaten far; could be tough to reel in. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Gained a maiden success over fences at Lingfield (2m) in November 2024 but lightly raced since and below par, coming in only third of four over 2m1f here two weeks ago; tried in different headgear now. |

3rd 4 |
5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 219y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
1-6 over fences, the win coming two seasons ago off 6lb higher (2m, soft); returned from a long absence in December and he's been a long way beneath that winning form in three races. |
5/1 |

16th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 219y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Won on first completion over fences, at Lingfield (2m, soft) in November 2024, but he hasn't run to the same level since, pulling up at Fontwell (first-time cheekpieces, retained) in January on second run back from an absence; has it to prove at present. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
All of his five wins have been gained at Plumpton but he's been well held at that track (2m1f/2m4f) in last three runs; now 9lb lower than for his last success but that that was 14 months ago and others are preferred. |

3rd 1 |
19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
All his five victories have been gained here but he arrives under a cloud, last of five in 2m1f handicap chase here last month; yard is back among the winners though so not totally dismissed. |
11/2 |

5th 3 |
16th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 219y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
All five wins on this track, over hurdles and fences (good and soft); ran his best race for a while over C&D last month, but soundly beaten when last of four finishers (odds-on) here since; reservations now. |
