Hasn't kicked on from a second on chase debut but did some good late work behind Boys Of Wexford at Taunton the last time; that was over 2m7f and now goes further. |

20th Jul 2025 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Several good efforts in defeat since 3m2f win at Fontwell (good) in June 2024, although his form did dip over C&D last time out; versatile regarding the ground and can be competitive on the earlier runs. |

24th Jun 2025 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Generally consistent 9yo who has found one too good on his last four starts, including when turned over at short odds latest; still 7lb above last summer's win and, while he should be thereabouts again, he'll likely prove vulnerable to less-exposed rivals for the win. |
5/1 |

2nd 3 |
26th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 4 |

Largely consistent 9yo who lost out only by a head in first-time visor at Fontwell (3m2f, good) 19 days ago and again ran well when second over C&D (good) on Tuesday; Chad Bament looks excellent value for his 8lb claim against other conditional riders today; major player. |

Kept on for respectable third at Worcester (2m7f, good; no threat to easy winner) 12 days ago and will be suited by today's longer trip but often looks unenthusiastic, and it's hard to predict the extent to which he'll warm to the task today; cheekpieces refitted. |

This time last year he posted back-to-back seconds over 3m2f on good ground at Fontwell and Warwick; well handicapped on that form but he hasn't been running well of late. |

6th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Not solid on his hurdling exploits (0-7) and he ran no race on chase debut last time (2m4f); this longer trip is probably a better fit for him so may leave that latest run behind. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Mixed form over hurdles this season but runner-up at Plumpton (3m1f, good) two starts ago and stable has much better strike-rate with chasers than hurdlers nowadays; not ruled out on first run over fences. |

Did not show a great deal in his qualifying races last season (2m3f-2m5f) and unseated rider at third flight when upped to 3m2f for handicap debut in March (race subsequently declared void); returns from six-month break. |

8th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 166y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
0-8 over hurdles but returned from 11-month break with fairly good second here (2m5f, good to soft; no match for winner) 12 days ago and could plausibly still have untapped potential over this longer trip. |
9/1 |

27th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Very nearly won over C&D last January and that was only three starts ago; feasible excuses since then as probably failed to stay 3m1f and then bled here when last seen a year ago; ability respected but there are wellbeing issues after so long out. |

0-9 over hurdles but placed three times this year, most recently when close second here (3m2f, good) last month; went up 4lb for that run but should be fine over today's shorter trip and probably won't be far away. |

8th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 166y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Three-time hurdle winner this season and added to his tally on last month's chasing debut at Plumpton (3m1f, good to soft), asserting on run-in to score by 5l; only 3lb higher for this return to hurdling and won't mind if the ground ends up good; sports first-time blinkers; must be considered. |

16th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 157y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
3-9 over hurdles, the wins at 2m5f-3m1f (one here), and recent effort off this mark under Chad Bament when second around here was solid; probably on a stiff enough mark, but appeals as the type to improve for fences and a bold showing can be expected on chase debut. |

9th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |

Made all for clearcut C&D (soft) success four weeks ago and is now 3-8 over hurdles; also suited by good/good to soft ground and might still be on the upgrade; commands respect. |

19th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 110y Class 5 |

Maiden who would come into it on his best staying hurdle form but his chase efforts don't compare, including when soundly beaten on the return to fences at Fontwell last time out. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |

25th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |

4th Jun 2025 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Won over hurdles at Fontwell (3m2f, good) in April 2023 and was a close second at Ludlow (2m5f, good) two months ago; however, he'd dropped to the rear when falling on last week's chase debut here (2m5f, good); Illogical Logic was skipping along merrily in the lead at the time so he probably has work to do. |

Ended a run of non-completions when finishing fifth of seven over C&D last time (Presenting Yeats behind); although that was an improved effort, it did appear to stretch his stamina; much more required again from out of the weights. |
