A Great Excuse
Horse Form Profile
| Place / No / Draw | Date / Going / Distance / Class | Time + Course Horse + Weight Jockey / Trainer | Verdict | Starting price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3rd 4 | 5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 149y Class 4 | 11st 2lb | Early casualty behind Touquet two runs ago and 2m3f looked too far for him last time out, but he appeared value for a greater rise than 5lb for his Lingfield success (2m, good to soft; Touquet over 1l third) before all of that; remains of interest. | 13/2 |
| 3rd 3 | 9th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 51y Class 5 | 11st 11lb | Off the mark on third chase start when scoring at Lingfield (2m, good to soft) in December; fair run over this trip at Ffos Las on previous start but he fell last time out; a possible on earlier form. | 4/1 |
| 5 | 22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 104y Class 4 | 11st 6lb | Low-mileage 6yo who built upon encouraging seasonal/chase/stable debut when keeping on strongly to lead on run-in at Lingfield (2m, good to soft) last month; holds Touquet on that form and has plenty of scope for further progress; tongue-tie added. | 2/1F |
| 1st 3 | 13th Dec 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 | 11st 13lb | Unexposed 5yo who led for a long way before weakening into fourth on last month's seasonal/stable/handicap/chase debut at Ffos Las (2m3f, soft) and will presumably be ridden very positively again over this shorter trip; cheekpieces removed after one use; a possible. | 4/1 |
| 4th 2 | 19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 5 | 12st 0lb | Unexposed 5yo who displayed minor promise in three maiden hurdles (2m-2m3f) for Barry Brennan in January/February; makes stable/handicap/chase debut after nine-month break; market helpful. | 16/5 |
