3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Five wins include two over fences, the latest at Huntingdon in October (2m4f, good) when 2lb higher; not so good in his five subsequent defeats and record when fresh is modest. |

3rd 2 |
22nd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 2f 208y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Won this in 2025 (good to soft) and was also on target at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in October; back on a good mark now and should be fine on today's forecast soft ground but has become far too inconsistent to rely upon. |

4th Nov 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Drew clear on run-in to score by 13l at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) last month, form that was franked by the runner-up over the weekend; not one to rely upon heavily, though. |

15th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Bounced back to form when second of six in 2m3f Hereford handicap chase 20 days ago; he must enter calculations nudged up 1lb in his bid for a breakthrough chasing victory. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 1 |
23rd Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 2f 208y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Ended last season with emphatic hurdle win here (2m, soft) and was creditable second on seasonal/chase debut at Sandown (1m7f, soft) in December; two lesser efforts have followed but it would be dangerous to write him off at this stage. |
100/30 |

4th 4 |
15th Jan 2025 Soft 2m 4f 194y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won a 2m soft-ground handicap hurdle by 10l here last March; his jumping lacked fluency so did well to go so close on chase debut at Sandown (1m7f, soft) and conditions were extremely testing when fourth at Haydock; massive shout on that penultimate effort. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
Has won five of his eight chases since November (2m-2m3f); he has predictably shot up the weights and all wins have come under Rian Corcoran who was claiming 7lb or 10lb; therefore, has a lot more on his plate now he's raised in grade off a 5lb higher mark than last time. |
8/1 |
|
1st 2 |
15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Has enjoyed a fine time of it since returning in November (1131142); still 7lb above his last winning mark and although he won over a similar trip at Ffos Las, may be at his very best over shorter; shortlisted nonetheless. |
100/30 |
|
2nd 6 |
21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Four chase wins this season, the latest from off the pace at Taunton (2m, good to soft; also suited by soft) last month; needs to rebound from a duff effort one week later but further progress remains possible. |

13th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Generally in good form for this yard over fences and was in the process of leaving behind a pull-up over hurdles when falling in a handicap chase at Cartmel two weeks ago (2m1f); it was four out so still some way from home, but he's firmly in the reckoning. |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Ended a 17-race losing run on his third start for this yard when scoring by 12l in a first-time visor at Market Rasen (2m3f, good) nine days ago; still well treated on older form despite an 11lb rise, but needs to bounce back after pulling up over hurdles here on Friday. |
11/4 |

27th Jun 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Came good for new stable at third attempt, with 12l success over fences at Market Rasen (2m3f, good; first-time visor) a week ago; only 1lb higher for this return to hurdling and won't mind if there's rain about; major player. |

23rd May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Got off the mark over fences at Ludlow (2m4f, good to firm) last October and has been placed on all five starts since; drops back in trip which may not be in his favour. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 4 |
22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Triple hurdle winner who made the breakthrough over fences in a Ludlow handicap (2m4f, good to firm) in October; that was a four-runner race but he's been placed in four runs since including when runner-up at Chepstow (2m7f) 11 days ago; should go well again and all of his wins have been on good/good to firm. |
9/2 |

2nd 4 |
11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Triple hurdle winner who made the breakthrough over fences in a Ludlow handicap (2m4f, good to firm) in October; that was a four-runner race but he's been placed in three runs since including over 3m at Taunton; should go well again and it would be a positive if the ground dries out. |

23rd Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 2f 208y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Useful in his prime but has not been firing on all cylinders since returning from long layoff in the autumn (four runs); continues to slide down the weights but it's probably wise to wait for some encouraging signals from the betting. |

13th Jan 2025 Soft 2m 1f 109y Class 4 |

Has dropped a long way in the weights and hasn't been running too badly following an absence without suggesting he's a winner waiting to happen. |
