17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Not entirely straightforward but a sharp improver over hurdles, making it 6-9 when disposing of two rivals at Sedgefield (2m1f, good); 4lb higher now; clearly a contender. |

9th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Last of three on the Flat last time but had been a sharp improver over hurdles, making it 5-8 when completing a hat-trick at Perth (2m, good); just 2lb higher now and has major claims. |

18th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 109y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Big improver over hurdles and he made it 5-8 in that sphere when completing a hat-trick at Perth (2m, good) two weeks ago; looks interesting off dangerous mark on the Flat and he won over 1m7f in France as a 3yo. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
0-7 and was below form following a short break when eighth at Stratford (2m, soft) last month; needs to bounce back on this drop in grade on better ground. |

|
8th 10 |
9th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 70y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Yet to win (0-6) but he ran his best race yet when second at Fakenham (2m Class 4, soft; 6-1) on latest start; competes from the same mark on return from an 11-week absence; needs to his raise game further in this more competitive contest. |
9/1 |

1st Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
There's a suspicion he'll come into his own when tackling further and he'll be vulnerable if bumping into anything useful, but he was runner-up in a C&D maiden (good) in March when last seen and that form has been franked; has also run well on good to soft; strong claims. |

16th Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Gamely held on for a Wetherby hurdling success in March (2m, good to soft); either or both of the return to Class 4 and 7lb rise overcame him next time, however, and he now goes chasing off the same mark. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 4 |
4th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Built upon previous form when coming good at the fifth attempt over hurdles at Wetherby (2m, good to soft) last month; up 7lb but if the better ground was the reason for his improvement then he must also be considered here. |
7/2 |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Encouraging third in maiden hurdle at Southwell (2m, good to soft) in December; pulled up on handicap debut here (2m3f, soft) since; might be back on better ground today which, along with the drop back in trip, could make him a different proposition; no surprise to see a good run. |

22nd Sep 2026 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Opened hurdling account with ready success in first-time cheekpieces at Worcester (2m, good) in July and ran well in defeat over same C&D this month; not yet fully exposed; ought to be right in the thick of things again. |
7/2 |
|
2nd 1 |
4th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won a bumper for Henry Daly and doubled his tally over C&D in July when strong late on in first-time cheekpieces; went up 7lb but only a 5yo with low mileage on the clock; respected. |
7/4 |
|
1st 4 |
22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Yet to win over hurdles and hasn't kicked on from his promising second at Taunton (2m, good) on his handicap debut in March; first-time cheekpieces need to have a significant impact. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Front-runner; far more exposed than some of these but won two (Fakenham and Bangor) of her last four starts and there's no question over her recent wellbeing; another bold show is likely despite career-high mark. |
5/1 |
|
1st 1 |
8th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Resumed winning ways at Fakenham (2m) in May and has continued in good form, scuppered by a late blunder when third of four in 2m1f handicap at Market Rasen in July; that form has been franked so this front-runner can go well again off the same mark. |

3rd 1 |
18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |

Small fields suit this free-going mare, as do sharp, flat tracks; perhaps on a fairly tough mark after coming up short last time but shouldn't be far away. |

1st Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Made a winning start over fences at Bangor (2m1f) in May and doubled his tally for the season back hurdling at Uttoxeter (2m) in July; not at his best when last of three in 2m1f Sedgefield handicap hurdle 22 days ago, though. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
9th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won chase debut in May and returned to hurdling with narrow success at Uttoxeter two months ago (2m, good; 3lb lower); too hit and miss for comfort (tailed off behind Pergamon in April) but has a big shout if on his game. |

15th Sep 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Twice a winner in May 2025 but largely well below that level since returning from a break in November, with various headgear having little effect; however, he's dropped to an attractive mark and is of clear interest on his debut for Dan Skelton following wind surgery. |
11/4 |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Won over C&D and at Warwick (2m) on good ground in May last year but his two runs in cheekpieces this spring were underwhelming and he needs to respond well to a first-time visor. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Bounced back to form in refitted cheekpieces for Harry Derham last month, winning twice at Warwick (2m5f, good); subsequently changed hands for £12,000; remains well handicapped on older form. |
9/4 |

1st 6 |
20th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Put a disappointing run of form behind him when returning to winning ways over C&D (good) 11 days ago, making all; whether he can reproduce that effort is another matter but he is still well handicapped on his old form. |
11/4 |
|
1st 7 |
9th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
His two wins came on soft in April 2024; out of sorts over fences and hurdles this term; cheekpieces return and has dropped to a career-low mark but doesn't look ready to take advantage. |
14/1 |
