14th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 0y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
All three wins in maiden/novice company (2m and 2m3f) but not far away in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham (3m, good to soft) in December and soft ground was a query when pulled up in that grade since; below market expectations in his sole handicap (2m) but capable of better back at 2m5f. |

4th Sep 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Fast-improving 6yo who competed a hat-trick when easily beating three rivals at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good to firm) eight days ago; carries 7lb penalty in higher-grade race here but should cope if the ground ends up good to soft (unraced on slower) and is 3lb ahead of the handicapper. |

27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Cut little ice over hurdles last season, but he's been progressive over fences this summer and made it three wins from his last four starts when scoring at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month; up another 5lb but he's on a roll and could be a major force again. |

27th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Failed to complete in two of his first three chase starts but he's really got his act together with comfortable wins over C&D (good to firm) in his last two runs; up another 8lb but that was an emphatic success last time and he's open to more progress; key player. |

1st 1 |
19th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
12st 1lb |
0-9 as a hurdler but only his fourth run over fences when making light work of The Gypsy Davey over C&D (add 23yds) six days ago; penalised accordingly but Paddy Hanlon's claim takes care of 5lb of that. |
6/4 |
