23rd Apr 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Made the frame in three maidens (2m-2m4f) last summer but he's failed to complete in last two starts including when back in a handicap at Plumpton (pulled up) in September; hurdling record now stands at 0-12 and has something to prove on his return; change of headgear. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Runner-up twice in February (including C&D on soft) before making it 14th time lucky over hurdles in 2m4f Sedgefield handicap (good) last month; he and the runner-up came well clear of the third so he should competitive off 6lb higher. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
0-13 over hurdles and becoming rather frustrating but came second twice over 2m3f last month (soft/good to soft) and seems very likely to be in the shake-up again here. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
24th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 66y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Last Flat win came in November 2023 and he's 0-12 over hurdles; however, he ran well when second off this reduced mark at Carlisle (2m3f, soft) last Monday and can be in the mix if backing that up. |

4th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 15y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won a classified race at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in February in a first-time visor; however, down the field at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) in March and well beaten back over hurdles in April; needs to get back on track. |
9/1 |

5th 3 |
5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Seemingly aided by first-time visor when winning basement-grade AW race in February but was below that form on latest Flat start, and this is his first hurdle run since he was pulled up here (2m4f, good) on handicap debut last June; no headgear today; others have more pressing claims. |
14/1 |

8th 7 (11) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Finally off the mark when beating Desiderata at Wolverhampton a month ago; always in the right place in a messy affair (first-time visor) that night and history suggests he's no good thing to reproduce the effort. |

8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 5f 54y Class 3 |
10st 9lb |
Record of 211 since switched to chasing and the form of his Warwick success (3m1f, good to soft) last time has been boosted by the second/third since; respected off bottom weight upped in grade, with additional improvement plausible upped further in trip. |
7/2 |
|
1st 7 |
23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 100y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Very close second here (3m, soft; front pair well clear) on last month's chasing debut and stayed on strongly to win gruelling contest by 20l at Uttoxeter (3m, heavy) a few days later; 10lb higher now but sure to be suited by the forecast rain and commands respect. |
5/2 |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Well beaten in all three qualifying starts (2m, good); half-brother to a couple of 2m4f jumps winners; dam a 2m5f hurdle winner, so he may now be capable of improving going up in trip on his handicap debut. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Showed significant improvement when fourth in Worcester maiden (2m, good) last summer but safely held in all four subsequent handicaps, the latest here (2m6f) last month; needs to turn a corner. |
33/1 |

8th 3 |
28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Fourth in a maiden at Worcester last July but he's struggled in three handicaps since; Flat bred and this is a radically new trip, after all previous starts over about 2m, but he rallied well in that Worcester race; could be interesting if strong in the market. |
16/1 |
|
8th 6 |
11th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Backed at prices when showing more at Worcester last summer but has struggled in two handicaps since; yard has been quiet and he's not obviously fancied back from four months off. |

The last of his Flat wins was in 2021; poor hurdler and don't see him making a better chaser; out of the weights. |
