2nd Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Landed his second win over fences when prevailing at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in March, after finishing runner-up twice; a 4lb rise is workable and he should be thereabouts. |

31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 19y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Won a novice handicap off 4lb lower at Warwick last March (2m4f, good); two sound runs this time, notably when second to an in-form rival at Wetherby last month (2m3f, soft); contender. |

2nd 8 |
26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
10yo who is lightly raced for his age; progressive in these cheekpieces last season, finishing second at Leicester (2m4f, soft) then first at Warwick (2m4f, good); close second at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) in November on sole outing this term; goes well fresh and entitled to respect. |

27th Jul 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Three nothing runs have followed since going close over fences at Warwick in March; returns to hurdling with cheekpieces added but he's 5lb out of the weights. |

2nd Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
0-14 under rules; ran big race in defeat at Warwick (2m4f, good) in March, after a layoff, and has good claims if judged on that effort but but two non-completions have followed; others preferred. |

9th May 2025 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
0-10 as a chaser but ran a good race in defeat at Warwick (2m4f, good) before falling early at Southwell; being 3lb out of the weights is not ideal but hard to rule out. |

20th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Appreciated the step up in trip when landing his second race over fences at Stratford (3m3f, good) last month; up 5lb and needs to back that up over this slightly shorter distance. |

1st 7 |
19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 3f 119y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Sole success over fences came at Chepstow in March last year off 2lb higher; soundly beaten since and steps up to beyond 3m for the first time; down to a career-low mark and needs this extra test of stamina to bring out improvement. |

2nd Jun 2025 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Ran encouragingly on chase debut here but not built on that and continues to be let down by his jumping; cheekpieces may help in that respect and he would have claims with a trouble-free round. |

Ran encouragingly on chase debut but has failed to build on that effort and jumping issues arose the last twice (made bad mistake and unseated rider mid-race latest). |

11th Apr 2025 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Winning pointer who is 0-5 over hurdles and 0-6 as a chaser; hasn't been threatening to put that right, with and without headgear; found a weak race here but could do with upping his game. |

Winning pointer; ten defeats under rules divided between hurdles and fences; beaten 14l and about 10l in his last two races and needs extra. |

29th Feb 2024 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
First foal; dam useful 2m2f-2m4f chase winner, half-sister to high-class hurdle/chase winner Dynaste; represents in-form, southern stable and could play a leading role on debut, especially if strong in the betting. |
