20th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Placed over hurdles; only his second run over fences when doing it fairly comfortably here two weeks ago (2m5f, good; fine on softer) and he promises to stay this far; every chance off a 6lb higher mark. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 110y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Placed over hurdles and again on his chase debut at Exeter when fitted in a first-time hood; that aid is missing here but stepping up from 2m3f looks favourable. |

2nd 1 |
20th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Bumper/hurdle winner who won on only his second run over fences at Southwell (3m, good), cosily by 3l; good chance off 6lb higher but might not appreciate too much rain (good to soft would be acceptable). |
2/1 |

1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Successful in a bumper (good) and course maiden hurdle (good to soft) in the first half of 2024; bettered that winning course form when twice reaching the frame over hurdles much later that year; pulled up when switched to fences for his comeback run at Taunton seven weeks ago but it's possible the heavy ground was against him given his form has come under less testing conditions. |

1st 10 |
1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Irish point win in 2025 was followed by two bumper successes in Britain; failed to win over hurdles since though and he hasn't looked about to score over fences of late either; probably needs more weight off his back. |
9/1 |

3rd 5 |
6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Point and dual bumper winner in 2025; runner-up in two 2m7f novice hurdles in October but pulled up on handicap debut the following month and has offered little in two runs this spring since a break, including when beaten 24l on last month's chase debut; probably on a workable mark but needs the cheekpieces to have a positive effect. |
12/1 |

3rd 2 |
20th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Point and dual bumper winner in 2025; runner-up in two 2m7f novice hurdles in October but pulled up on handicap debut the next month and again ran moderately on his return, albeit back in a novice. |

12th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Got off the mark on his stable debut at Ffos Las (2m4f, soft) in March with the aid of first-time cheekpieces (retained since) off 4lb lower; back over hurdles after a couple of unsuccessful efforts over fences; holds claims if running to his best form. |
5/1 |

4 |
20th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
1-13 over hurdles; didn't go unbacked on chase debut when beaten under 4l by Loki's Mischief over 2m5f here recently and he's 7lb better off with the winner; clear claims. |
3/1 |
