2nd Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Landed his second win over fences when prevailing at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in March, after finishing runner-up twice; a 4lb rise is workable and he should be thereabouts. |

31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 19y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Won a novice handicap off 4lb lower at Warwick last March (2m4f, good); two sound runs this time, notably when second to an in-form rival at Wetherby last month (2m3f, soft); contender. |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
10yo who is lightly raced for his age; progressive in these cheekpieces last season, finishing second at Leicester (2m4f, soft) then first at Warwick (2m4f, good); close second at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) in November on sole outing this term; goes well fresh and entitled to respect. |

25th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 205y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Runner-up off this mark at Southwell (2m4f, good) in June and she's of interest on that form but she's been well beaten on both starts since and a major turnaround is needed in a change of headgear. |

22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
0-9 under rules; not a bad effort when runner-up on her chasing debut at Southwell (2m5f, good) last month but beaten 23l over C&D since; needs to show more. |
10/1 |

4th 9 |
1st Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Very modest hurdle form but she went chasing off a career-low mark at Southwell (2m4f, good) in June and took a healthy step forward, keeping on well against one in a good run of form; back up 2lb; can threaten. |

26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Pulled up over fences in May following a break but has reached the frame in all three starts since fitted with a visor this summer, latest back over hurdles at Worcester (2m4f, good) when third to a subsequent winner; shaped as though well worth a try over this longer trip and is a leading contender. |

3rd 4 |
10th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Not seen over hurdles since 2024 but was clear second to a progressive rival over fences here (2m4f, good) in July and switches back to this code on the same mark; no surprise if he features. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 5 |
22nd Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
His sole success over fences came at Market Rasen (2m1f, soft) last July off 2lb higher; didn't offer a great deal once headed when third at Southwell (2m5f, good) last month in a first-time visor (retained) but has dropped to a career-low mark with Sean Bowen on board so all is not lost. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 65y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Has mixed record this year and is not easy to predict but won off today's mark here (2m5f, good) in April and ran well until stamina ebbed away here (3m2f, good to firm) last month; drops back in trip and swaps usual cheekpieces for first-time visor; contender if on a going day. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 59y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Won over 2m5f here on chase debut, but was disappointing on next three starts over fences (jumped badly right on third occasion); fair second back hurdling last time; questions to answer back over fences. |

7th Sep 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Took advantage of his lowest-ever mark to score over fences at Worcester (2m7f, good) in July; returns to hurdles for the first time since November 2023 and will do well to follow up. |
7/1 |
|
1st 6 |
16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Well treated on his old form but his last win was in December 2024 and he's finished down the field in his three completed starts this year; cheekpieces now return but he needs to raise his game. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
0-16 under rules but has runner-up twice over fences; may be sharper following a reappearance over hurdles at Bangor last month and is now on a career-low mark; not out of this. |
9/2 |
|
5th 11 |
16th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Decline in fortunes over fences last season wasn't arrested by a switch to front-running; brave to name this the day given he's 0-15 now, but new career-low mark is notably 8lb lower than when last trying hurdles. |
