29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 172y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Sported this headgear combination for the first time when narrowly repelling Authoceltic at Newton Abbot and followed up over hurdles later in the autumn; disappointed back over fences in January but returned to form with a decisive win at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft), beating a hat-trick seeker in the process; went up 8lb for that but clearly a contender; good ground is fine. |

11st 6lb |
Newton Abbot chase winner in October (2m, good to soft), but continues to return stronger RPRs win or lose over hurdles; 3lb drop following January's fading Exeter chasing sixth isn't sufficiently persuasive. |

11st 2lb |
Very well handicapped on old hurdling form for Charlie Longsdon but didn't really fire during four-race campaign for Emma Lavelle last season and still has quite a bit to prove over fences; changed hands for 3,200euros in April; sports first-time cheekpieces here; first runner under rules for Chester Williams; market may guide. |

2nd 4 |
29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 172y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Only three runs over fences but already a better chaser than hurdler; well on top to win at Wincanton in November (1m7f, good; 5lb lower) and the softer surface at Ludlow (good to soft) was a feasible excuse next time; absent since December but likely to go well. |
4/1 |

2nd 3 |
18th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Returned from one-year absence with low-key run in 2m4f maiden hurdle last month (raced too freely) and is now 0-7 in that sphere; entitled to have benefited from that outing but needs this switch to chasing to enable improvement. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 213y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
2-6 over fences this season, the wins gained at Huntingdon (2m, good) and Musselburgh (2m, good to soft); gave another good account when close third of five at Ascot (2m1f, good) last month and should be fine on this left-handed track; good chance. |

3rd 2 |
29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 172y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Two wins and as many seconds in his completed starts over fences; put in his place off this mark at Kempton (2m2f, good) two weeks ago but the winner is in a good place at the minute; unlikely to be far away. |
100/30 |
|
2nd 6 |
14th Mar 2026 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Two wins and a second to show from his completed starts over fences; got up late at Musselburgh (good to soft) last time in a style which suggests there could be more to come now racing beyond around 2m for the first time over fences; leading claims for last year's winning yard. |

22nd Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 75y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
C&D winner in May and respectable second over hurdles the following month, but he was well beaten back over fences at Hexham (raced freely) last month and subsequently left Dan Skelton's stable for £5,000; retains chase potential but others are more persuasive. |
10/1 |

7th 5 |
21st Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Off the mark as a chaser at Newton Abbot (2m, good) last month, easily beating two rivals; raced too freely and succumbed to a stronger finisher when odds-on to follow up over hurdles there a week later but probably still has untapped potential over fences if he settles better here. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Respectable efforts on both previous course visits, including a close fourth in this in 2024; weighted to strike, but must prove that the effects of the cheekpieces aren't on the wane after a sub-par latest effort. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
23rd May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won twice over fences at around this trip last spring; not so good since but is 1lb lower than his last winning mark so cannot be ruled out. |

3rd 2 |
4th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 54y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Won twice last spring at about this trip but essentially underwhelming since, albeit in better races than this; the drop in class should be welcomed. |
