Horse Form Profile
| Place / No / Draw | Date / Going / Distance / Class | Time + Course Horse + Weight Jockey / Trainer | Verdict | Starting price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 16th 12 | 12th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 127y Class 1 | 10st 11lb | Prevailed in a big field at Galway (2m6f, good) on chase debut but has failed to back up that form since and was particularly disappointing in October when bidding for a second win at the Cheltenham Showcase meeting; wears first-time headgear; less solid than others. | 80/1 |
| 26 | 11th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 1 | 10st 10lb
| Reserve; won four times (once on good here) as a novice hurdler last season before pulling up at 14-1 in the 3m Grade 1 novice event here; won chase debut at the Galway festival (2m6f) last August but chase career has gone badly the wrong way since, latest start 11 days ago; returns to hurdling in first-time cheekpieces; next to no exposure in handicaps but low on the list. | 50/1 |
| 5th 2 | 28th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 0y | 11st 1lb | Four-time hurdles winner with a liking for a sound surface and staying trips; had the going in his favour when making a winning chase debut over 2m6f at the Galway festival last August; disappointing when well fancied for a 3m1f contest at Cheltenham in October; unseated at the first at Musselburgh early this month. | 50/1 |
| 1 | 1st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 68y Class 3 | 11st 10lb | Irish 7yo whose overall record of 8-17 includes a success at the Galway festival (2m6f, good) on chase debut; disappointing at Cheltenham in only subsequent start but may still have more to offer in this sphere; effective when fresh. | 11/2 |
| 5th 4 | 25th Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 0y Class 2 | 11st 7lb | Four wins over hurdles included the 3m novice on this card 12 months ago; reportedly off colour when twice disappointing in the spring; back from 100 days off to win a competitive beginners' chase at Galway (2m6f, good; fine on softer) so returning from a similar absence is of no concern; commands the utmost respect. | 2/1F |
