Horse Form Profile
| Place / No / Draw | Date / Going / Distance / Class | Time + Course Horse + Weight Jockey / Trainer | Verdict | Starting price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1st 4 | 2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 2 | 11st 1lb | Appreciated eased in grade at Bangor (3m, good to soft) six weeks ago, winning readily by 10l; contests deeper race here but probably still on workable mark after 5lb rise, and quicker ground also suits. | 2/1F |
| 1st 1 | 21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 30y Class 3 | 12st 2lb | Exposed ex-Irish gelding who has yet to score for Dan Skelton (0-10); however, he has been contesting stronger races and was going nicely in clear lead when falling six out in major handicap chase at Doncaster (3m, soft; fine on good) in January; his subsequent Ascot run needs forgiving but that was a Class 1 race. | 7/2 |
| 9th 6 | 14th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 185y Class 1 | 10st 7lb | Record of 0-9 for current yard but he ran well over hurdles on this card last year; still going nicely in clear lead when falling six out in major handicap chase at Doncaster (3m, soft) most recently; shortlisted. | 5/1 |
| 4 | 24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 214y Class 1 | 11st 6lb | Placed three times in a row over hurdles early last year (2m3f-2m7f, good-soft) and ran pretty well when reverting to fences over C&D (good to soft) last month, finishing fourth of seven behind Docpickedme; however, he needs something extra to pose a serious threat in this warmer race. | 7/1 |
| 7 | 10th Jan 2026 Abandoned 3m 5f 54y Class 1 | 10st 2lb | 2023 Irish chase winner who ran over hurdles for Dan Skelton until his good fourth of seven over fences at Doncaster (3m, good to soft; probably acts on heavy) four weeks ago under Harry Atkins; that was second run after wind surgery; he didn't exactly shout stamina that day and is now 3lb out of the handicap; cheekpieces (he last wore headgear in spring 2024) return. | 10/1 |
