17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Can make mistakes but he was runner-up twice in a row prior to winning a quality handicap at Cheltenham (2m4f, soft) in January, when clear with subsequent Ultima runner-up Jagwar; a 5lb rise for that career-best performance isn't harsh and he's entitled to respect. |

1st 7 |
24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
10st 8lb |
Hard to knock in terms of consistency and he again ran creditably when second of seven at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) on Welsh National day; however, he's prone to the odd mistake and may not get away with them on his first run over fences at Cheltenham. |

3rd 1 |
28th Oct 2025 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Struck form over fences at start of this year, winning over 2m3f on soft ground at Exeter and Chepstow; subsequent 261-day break may have checked his momentum but further progress is possible this season. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Having dropped back down to his last winning mark he returned to form when third in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Wincanton (3m1f, good to soft) three weeks ago; he's a contender if backing up that effort. |
13/2 |
|
3rd 1 |
5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Back on his last winning mark of Christmas 2024 but too little about either start this term suggests he'll capitalise, and not obviously crying out for this new trip of late either; cheekpieces added. |
5/1 |

26th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 116y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Let down by his jumping over fences at times but still a capable performer in that sphere, although his reappearance last month was laboured; needs to be forgiven that effort but reverts to hurdles on a fair mark and is 2-7 in this discipline. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 170y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Didn't appear to stay 3m5f at Bangor two starts ago but fared little better when pulled up at Exeter last month back at a trip that should have suited; had been in good form prior to those runs and would hold at least place claims if able to rekindle that earlier spark. |
10/1 |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 137y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
In good form over fences prior to heavy defeat at Bangor where he failed to stay 3m5f; could go well now back down in trip on first hurdle start since December 2024. |
16/1 |

6th 8 |
25th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 5f 142y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
0-7 over fences but has been running well, not beaten at all far the last twice in races at about 3m; however, although a 3m2f winner over hurdles, 3m6f appeared too far at Exeter in December. |

22nd Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Course winner over hurdles last season (2m3f, heavy) and made quite promising chase debut in December; yet to build on that performance but was in contention before bad jumping error seemed to knock the stuffing out of him in the straight here a fortnight ago (first-time visor); no surprise if he gets his act together over fences soon. |

led, headed 10th, led again home turn, faced challenges when mistake and pecked on landing 5 out, soon lost three places, weakened from 4 out, no chance when not fluent 3 out |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Lurks on dangerous mark and is very well suited by slow ground but did not achieve a great deal when remote second in four-runner race at Hereford (2m5f, soft) last month and has not run to form since December 2024. |
14/1 |
|
2nd 5 |
26th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 194y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Mixes hurdling and chasing but yet to win in this sphere; has dropped to a career-low mark but has his work cut out against more progressive rivals. |
7/2 |
|
7th 4 |
26th Feb 2025 Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Pulled up over fences on two of his last three starts, jumping poorly most recently; however, in between he was a good second in a chase at Ffos Las (2m5f, heavy) and he's been effective at 3m and over hurdles in the past; no surprise to see a big performance now back over hurdles. |
