Horse Form Profile
| Place / No / Draw | Date / Going / Distance / Class | Time + Course Horse + Weight Jockey / Trainer | Verdict | Starting price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7 | 4th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 2m 7f 170y | 11st 8lb | Won two bumpers on good ground last year; 0-6 hurdling but some good placings at up to 3m; tailed off in Pertemps Final at Cheltenham last time and yard look to have stronger contenders here. | 40/1 |
| 23th 20 | 12th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 213y Class 1 | 10st 6lb | Won two bumpers on good ground last year; 0-5 over hurdles but minor honours on last four occasions; 6-1, second of 13 to Champagne Chic when upped to 3m for Haydock qualifier (good to soft) on handicap debut last time, renewing his effort but not nearly as strongly as the winner on run-in; not that straightforward but there's time for him to get his act together and cheekpieces (worn in two of his bumpers, not the wins) return. | 20/1 |
| 2nd 7 | 14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 2 | 11st 3lb | Two bumper wins came on good ground, but he has run well over hurdles on testing ground, including latest 2m6f Thurles novice second; steps up to 3m for his handicap debut; a very interesting contender for his much-respected trainer. | 6/1 |
| 2nd 6 | 18th Jan 2026 Yielding 2m 6f 0y | 11st 0lb | Two bumper wins came on good ground, though he has run well over hurdles on testing ground; looks capable of losing his maiden status before too long; previous winners make more appeal here. | 17/2 |
| 3rd 1 | 28th Dec 2025 Soft To Heavy 2m 5f 80y | 11st 12lb | His two bumper wins came on good ground but it was heavy when a 6l fourth of 18 in a 2m3f maiden at Clonmel earlier this month; that form brings him strongly into the equation. | 11/1 |
