Beat Guernesey (2lb better off) by a neck at Hexham in December (2m7f, heavy) but pulled up both starts since (tried in new headgear last time); cheekpieces back on but plenty to prove at present. |

Won narrowly at Hexham in December (2m7f, heavy) but a nothing run behind Shoeshine Boy here underlined his inconsistency; visor replaces cheekpieces. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 97y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
The furthest he's been was 3m2f when he rallied to win from Red Delta in a small field at Doncaster (soft; made most) in November; something amiss next time but he was back on song for second at Carlisle (3m, good to soft; probably effective on good) on latest outing, making it good runs on both his starts in cheekpieces; up 2lb but needs a close look. |

Flopped badly last time when bidding for a Doncaster double but had looked open to further progress and may rebound; 1-1 in cheekpieces (hurdles win last March); not written off. |

25th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 71y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Three wins in early part of last year, including quite valuable final of this Brindisi Breeze series at Musselburgh (3m, soft); back on a good mark now but has largely been disappointing this season and needs to up his game. |

Won three slow-ground handicaps early last year from 2m4f to 3m; had wind surgery following a slow start to this campaign and has dropped to a useful mark. |

14th Sep 2026 Good 3m 2f 59y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Battled well for narrow win at Cartmel (3m1f, good) in July, his third start over fences, and kept on well from unpromising position to take second over C&D (good to firm) last month; still well handicapped on hurdle form; swaps usual cheekpieces for refitted blinkers; likely contender. |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 59y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Improved on his two previous runs over fences when scoring in a tight finish at Cartmel last time (3m1f, good); that form is nothing special, but he's only 1lb higher so could go well again. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Not seen over fences since two disappointing attempts in spring 2024 but in good form over hurdles, notably when winning at Hexham (2m7f, good) in May; reverts to chasing on a lower mark; player if able to find some fluency. |

27th Jan 2025 Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
10yo whose form had been in steady decline since winning an Ascot handicap off 11lb higher in November 2023, although recent efforts have been slightly more encouraging, including most recently when tried in blinkers (retained); undoubtedly on a good mark but still needs to find a little more. |

4th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Three-time hurdle winner who was close to his peak form when second to Kiwi De Cotte over what turned out to be an extended 3m at Market Rasen (good) three weeks ago; versatile ground-wise; no surprise if he features. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |

1lb higher than for the 3m win at Aintree last October (good); hasn't approached that form in his only three races since but this is a drop in grade; should go well. |
