24th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Battled well for narrow win off today's mark at Hereford (3m1f, good; wore cheekpieces) in the autumn but was given break after disappointing effort in December and again ran poorly when reappearing (without cheekpieces) last month; the cheekpieces are missing again here; stablemate Prince Cleni has much stronger claims. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 3f 119y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Landed his second success over fences, at Hereford (3m1f, good) in October off 1lb lower mark; second at Plumpton the following month but was tailed off at Wincanton when last seen; has been freshened up since and holds claims if putting his best foot forward. |

Dug deep to win over fences last week at Hereford (3m1f, good) and gets in here over hurdles off the same mark; clear claims. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
A chase at Perth (3m, good) last August off 5lb lower was his only win from 17 starts; left Ella Pickard before pulled up here 13 days ago on debut for new stable, but it's notable that he started 13-8 favourite in that chase; now he's back hurdling for first time since 2022. |
7/1 |

9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 3y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Got off the mark at Perth (3m, good) last August off 9lb lower mark when trained by Ella Pickard; two decent efforts when placed subsequently but was pulled up at Hexham in October when last seen; makes stable debut and worth a look in the betting. |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Has record of 282324132 since switched to chasing and he ran into a major improver when a front-running second at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good to soft) two weeks ago; up 3lb but they were strung out behind him last time and he should give it another good shot back in trip. |

9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Two more chase wins in 2025, the latest at Windsor (3m, good to soft; suited by good) in November; often battled with unsuitable ground over the winter but 4lb lower than at Windsor so has a weights chance. |

9th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 3y Class 5 |

Has five wins over fences including one over C&D; below form on his last two starts but may show improvement on this better ground. |

16th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 157y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
2lb below his Windsor success in November but he's not matched that level since, latest when well held at Taunton (2m7f, heavy) last month; needs the return to better ground to spark a revival. |

10st 10lb |
Has run well at this track and is very well handicapped on old form but pulled up on all three starts since returning in December from a mammoth absence and needs to prove some ability remains; blinkers refitted. |

9th Apr 2025 Good To Firm 2m 7f 3y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Pulled up in his two starts (heavy/soft; visored both times) since an absence of just over two years; old form suggests this better ground will suit but it still requires a leap of faith to support him in the added tongue-tie. |

10st 11lb |
2-19 over fences, his second success coming at Huntingdon in November 2021; has been struggling for a while and the combination of market support, Sean Bowen and a career-low mark failed to spark a revival last time; dropped another 2lb and the blinkers replace other headgear. |
