1st May 2026 Good 2m 0f 54y Class 5 |
12st 1lb |
Unbeaten in six since February 2025, encompassing 2m4f-3m contests around various track and going types; effortless transition to hunter chases at Ludlow latest (2m4f, good), and although patiently ridden there his proven ability at making all might yet come in handy down in trip. |

30th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Has a mountain to climb on BHA ratings but his was earned over hurdles and he's been going great guns in points during the past 12 months or so; it's also worth bearing in mind that in late 2024 he got to within 3l of this month's Cheltenham Festival hero Barton Snow in a 3m point; only a 6yo and could run well. |

30th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
12st 6lb |
Still in front when falling on his return to hunter chasing in January but ran miserably at Leicester next time where soft ground was no excuse; had been in good form in handicaps before those setbacks and would take some beating if back on song. |

3rd 2 |
24th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 6f 151y Class 3 |
12st 4lb |
Good form in handicaps this winter includes a Leicester success; still in front when falling at Warwick returned to hunter chasing last time; retains all of his ability and is top on the figures in this field. |

23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
Commendable second in last season's Aintree Foxhunters' (2m5f, good to soft) and as good as ever in recent 2m4f handicaps; stays 3m well and won't be fazed if the ground turns soft (unraced on heavy); ought to be hard to beat on return to hunter chasing. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Back to form with some respectable efforts this spring but his second at Kempton (2m4f, good) was in a match and he was well held when third here last time; record for current yard is now 0-7 and he looks vulnerable again back up in trip. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 3 |
30th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won this in 2023; somewhat resurgent at Catterick this month but in a weaker race than this and he was beaten fair and square in a match at Kempton last week. |
7/1 |

2nd 2 |
23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 110y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Unconvincing record for current yard; somewhat resurgent at Catterick last time but that effort is well short of his fairly useful best form. |

1st May 2026 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Third and sixth in the last two renewals of the 2m race on this card, and still appeals more over shorter despite a win over the full 3m trip at Chaddesley Corbett last May; 0-14 over rules fences. |

30th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
0-13 over regulation fences and she needs to improve on her recent seconds in hunter chases at Stratford and here. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 9 |
19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Third in this race in 2024 and she easily won a ladies open at Chaddesley Corbett (3m, good) in May; had wind surgery (her third) before an encouraging second in novice hunter chase at Stratford (2m5f, soft) despite having the door slammed in her face on the home turn ten days ago; should go well again. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 96y Class 4 |
12st 6lb |
Won two 2m4f handicaps for Ben Pauling last year, the second a two-runner event at Warwick; bit to prove after being pulled up on hunter chase debut at Ludlow in March (2m4f, good), including stamina. |

30th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
12st 6lb |
It was a match he won at Warwick in October (2m4f handicap, good) but that took his strike-rate to 9-30 over fences; remains in the same colours despite leaving Ben Pauling; should give his running on hunter chase debut. |

1st Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Strike-rate of 8-29 over fences and also runner-up in five of those; not as good as he was but still very capable off this mark; Bangor last time was a backward step, mind. |
