Out of sorts when pulled up on last two appearances (chase/hurdle); does return from a break on a fair mark so difficult to dismiss. |

7th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 54y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Hurdle/chase winner, over 2m and 2m3f; last to finish when third over 2m3f here 21 days ago and this represents a significant hike in trip. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 48y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Early exit here last time made it two non-completions from five chase attempts; successful over C&D in December but that Class 5 race fell apart and only two finished. |

Comfortably beat Valirann Gold over C&D just before Christmas after being left clear three out; never really threatened to follow up off a 7lb higher mark at Wincanton but that was a Class 4; tongue-tie now added; respected. |

25th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Kept on for respectable third at Worcester (2m7f, good; no threat to easy winner) 12 days ago and will be suited by today's longer trip but often looks unenthusiastic, and it's hard to predict the extent to which he'll warm to the task today; cheekpieces refitted. |

This time last year he posted back-to-back seconds over 3m2f on good ground at Fontwell and Warwick; well handicapped on that form but he hasn't been running well of late. |

11st 10lb |
Won a fast-ground maiden at Stratford (2m) last summer and coped well soft ground when third on handicap debut there (extended 2m2f) in October; 1lb lower today and pedigree suggests this new trip will suit. |

7th Oct 2024 Soft 2m 2f 148y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Kept on well to win course maiden (2m, good to firm) in July, and his two runs here either side of that (2m2f/2m) were perfectly respectable; not obviously well treated for this handicap debut but open to improvement if suited by the forecast slower ground. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Rewarded heavy market support when winning by 6l here (2m5f, soft) at start of 2025 but not much has gone to plan since and his two runs this year were no better than respectable; needs to up his game. |
16/1 |

14th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 5f 82y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Well-backed winner at Exeter (2m5f, soft) last January, on his second run after a long absence; looked a bit of a handful in next two runs but he returned after another layoff with an encouraging effort at Exeter (2m7f, good to soft) last month; continues to edge down the weights and has possibilities if he can build on that last run. |
12/1 |

7th 6 |
27th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 7f 198y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Landed a gamble when winning by 6l at Exeter (2m5f, soft) on New Year's Day, his second run after a long absence, but misbehaved and looked unenthusiastic on recent chasing debut; quickly switches back to hurdling here; has a point to prove. |

6th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 150y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
0-17 but she was a fair third on her first two starts this year (2m5f/2m3f, soft) then went close off this mark when upped to 3m at Taunton (heavy) last Thursday; also effective on good to soft; she could have more to offer over this sort of trip and is one to consider in first-time cheekpieces. |

Sole hurdle win was in 2019 and he's struggled over fences and hurdles in three runs after a long absence; mark is tumbling but he has plenty to prove after another break. |

20th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 5f 137y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Made a bright start to last year with a good second over C&D on New Year's Day, but his form has taken a marked downturn since and recent efforts have been poor; new headgear needs to spark a revival. |
50/1 |

30th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Won on soft ground at Fontwell in a hurdle race in 2021 and a 3m2f chase in 2023; however, there was an echo of that in only one (runner-up in January last year) of his eight starts for current yard. |
25/1 |

7th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |

Belied triple-digit odds when second over hurdles here (2m5f, soft) on seasonal debut in January but two disappointing runs have followed and it's hard to know what to expect from him on this return to fences; refitted blinkers replace cheekpieces. |

10st 3lb |
Back-to-back 3m2f wins at Fontwell and Newton Abbot last October (good and good to soft) suggest he'll enjoy this sharp track but the drop back from a stayers' trip doesn't rate an obvious plus. |
14/1 |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
0-12 over hurdles but came good in C&D (good) chase this month, his second start over fences, and battled gamely to follow up in conditional jockeys' race at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good to soft) on Saturday; escapes a penalty here and has obvious claims. |
7/4 |
