2nd May 2026 Yielding 3m 0f 104y |
11st 3lb |
Better chaser than hurdler, third win coming in 3m Kempton handicap in January (good); better again when second in better-class contest over same C&D following month, disappointingly never counted in Ultima at Cheltenham latest; possibly best going right-handed so could go well here, especially if ground continues to dry out. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
10st 13lb |
Won at Kempton (3m, good) in January and good second in competitive handicap there (3m, good to soft) last month; could give another good account but he didn't quite stay when fifth here (extended 3m2f, good to soft) in December and it's possible he'll again prove vulnerable up the hill. |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Closely matched with Deep Cave on their Bangor clash in November (soft) and, back at 3m from 3m2f, he dug deep for a course win last month (good); only went up 1lb for that and the runner-up ran well in defeat last weekend at Ascot. |

23rd Sep 2025 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Won well off 4lb lower at Aintree in May (3m1f, good) and a 4lb higher mark doesn't look too damaging; strongly considered as fitness is unlikely to be an issue given his yard. |

22nd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 3m 1f 100y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Won hunter chases at 2m5f and 2m last season but his peak efforts have come over staying trips and he shaped when fourth of five at Worcester (2m4f, good) 12 days ago like he would appreciate today's longer distance; the cheekpieces are left off once more; respected on second start back from a break. |
4/1 |
|
4th 2 |
10th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 12lb |
Won two hunter chases in early part of this year (2m5f/2m) and was second of four when back in a handicap at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) in May; takes on in-form rivals on this first start since, though, and they appeal more. |

14th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Not the best of jumpers but he was runner-up in this event (at Chepstow) on his return last season and also landed 3m Ludlow handicap in December; he can go well again for his in-form yard. |
9/1 |

5th 4 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Rather in and out, and followed a Ludlow win (3m, good to soft) in December with a listless fourth over the same C&D three weeks ago; needs first-time headgear to inject some sparkle. |
6/1 |

4th 2 |
26th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Returned to form with hard-fought C&D (good to soft) win in December, his second C&D success, and was nudged up only 1lb for that; obvious contender if in similar mood again. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 1 |
10st 7lb |
In a solid run of form but this is a tough mark for an exposed 9yo and he's undergone a fourth wind operation since finishing fifth at Perth in early June. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
On a hat-trick when a fairly close third in this last year and he returns off a 4lb lower mark, and in a solid run of form; enters the reckoning. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Defied a virtually identical absence to today's at Perth this time last year (good); inconsistent when last seen, however, and over three and a half years since he last lowered a mark in the 120s. |

15th May 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Course winner here last September (2m4f, good); back to winning ways last time at Ffos Las (3m, good to soft); interesting contender off this 5lb higher mark. |
