2026/27 Jumps Profile - Kingland

6 y bg Cokoriko – Annaland (Cliff)

Having proposed the inclusion of French races the Editor thought he had to include a couple of French horses and this is my first pick. He made his debut at Auteuil in September 2023 winning a 2m 2f listed hurdle for unraced 3 year old colts and geldings by 2 ½ l from Milan Tino, then in October over course and distance in a grade 2 3 year old hurdle, was 44th beaten 5 ½ l by Jigme (gave 2 lb).

In November, again over course and distance he was 3rd in a 3 year old grade 1 hurdle, beaten 9l by Jigme, then in March 2024 again over Course and distance was pulled up in a 4 year old grade 3 hurdle. He then in April won a 4 year old grade 3 hurdle over course and distance by 15 l from Sultan Pierji (received 3 lb), and in May in a 2m 3 f grade 1 4 year old hurdle, finished 2nd beaten 2 ½ l by Pistache Dore, then in October back over 2m 2f won a grade 3 4 year old hurdle by 4l from Pistache Dore (gave 2lb). 3 weeks later in a 2m 3f grade 3 4 year old hurdle he beat Gardien De Musee (received 7lb), by 10 l, and followed up over course and distance in November, beating Zephyr De Beaumont 9l in a grade 1 4 year old hurdle. 

He reappeared at Auteuil in September this year winning a 2m 2f conditions hurdle by 11 l from Kolokico, and followed up over 2m 5f in a grade 3 hurdle, beating Theleme 9 ½ l. He will hopefully pick up a few more graded hurdles, and may be a Cheltenham horse come March.
