10st 2lb |
Won a four-runner handicap chase at Newcastle in April (2m4f, good); disappointing on last three starts, the last two in November; 3lb out of the handicap; best watched. |

3rd May 2025 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Held on well to beat Top Of The Bay and Ribeye under Pippa Brown at Newcastle (2m4f, good) last month and ran at least as well when close second at Sedgefield (2m3f, good) six days later but Kelso 11 days ago was a bit disappointing and, on balance, others look stronger. |

6th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Generally solid for this yard, winning his latest two races on officially good ground, at 2m5f and 2m3f, just prevailing over a well-treated one here latterly; up in trip but the first win was on Carlisle's stiff track so he could stay this far; considered. |

13th Jun 2025 Good 2m 3f 34y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Gentle progression this spring culminated in April's Carlisle win (2m5f, good), and possible excuses both starts since (boiled over; 2m1f too sharp); no RPR better than 91 when there's been give in the ground. |

28th May 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Came good for Sam England at third attempt, readily winning Carlisle chase (2m5f, good) by over 8l last month, and reportedly boiled over in the preliminaries before this month's poor run at Hexham; can be dangerous if back on song for this return to hurdling. |

2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Two wins last season, the second off 3lb lower over C&D in October (good); hasn't been in quite such good form in 2026, but has had a break and can't be rule out. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 59y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Five chase wins, the latest off 5lb lower at Hexham (3m, good) in October; creditable second to very progressive rival at Wetherby (3m, good) on next outing but form has slumped since (hurdling last time). |
10/1 |

17th Feb 2026 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Stays at least this far and was in good form over fences for most of last year, but he has a bit to prove against younger rivals on his first start over hurdles in almost three years. |

3rd Mar 2025 Good 2m 7f 91y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Won all three starts at Newcastle (2m and 2m4f; good and heavy) between December and April last season and was back on track when close up here two starts ago; unseated since; didn't appear to want beyond 2m4f earlier in career but times may have changed now. |
