24th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 199y Class 2 |
10st 5lb |
Had his troubles after such a promising start over fences for the Skeltons but he's back in the good books after small-field handicap wins at Bangor and Uttoxeter (both on good ground; effective on softer); returns to far classier company here and may be found wanting. |

1st 2 |
29th Jun 2025 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Has regressed since showing such smart form for the Skeltons but looked back on good terms with himself when comfortably accounting for Fringill Dike at Bangor (2m1f, good), having led from halfway; back up 9lb but might well have turned a corner. |

17th May 2025 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
Very well handicapped on old form but, following a long absence, did not really fire on any of five starts for new stable last season; not beaten far when last of five in Ascot race won by Coastguard Station in March and another 5lb lower here but still needs to up his game. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 3 |
12st 1lb |
Has done most of his winning at about 2m but second over C&D in his last two races, running his usual honest race; thereabouts off an untouched mark. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 3 |
26th Sep 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Multiple jumps wins, mostly at about 2m, but he ended a losing run over this C&D (good; made all) in June and ran to a similar level here in July, off this 7lb higher mark; likely to need a bit more today. |
5/2 |
|
2nd 1 |
5th Jul 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Multiple winner but his first success beyond about 2m when making all for a 9l victory over C&D 23 days ago; back up 7lb but had dropped to a good mark. |

25th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Fairly treated on some of his form but was very disappointing when dropped into a Class 4 here last time and his previous run was no better. |

23rd Aug 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Fairly treated and some fair efforts at 2m4f/2m5f before struggling back over 2m in a Class 2; that's readily forgiven and he'll probably run well. |
10/1 |
|
6th 4 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Campaigned over longer trips since September but effective at 2m previously; currently in a consistent vein of form and looks attractively treated, having scored twice off current mark last year; landed this contest in 2024 to boot and holds a fighting chance. |

14th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 85y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
His strike-rate over fences could be better but he's pretty consistent and was running well in second when making a bad blunder at the final fence at Stratford (2m3f, good to firm) in August last time; might not be far away in first-time cheekpieces. |
11/2 |

3rd 5 |
20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Gained both chase wins over 2m4f; bumped into progressive rival when second at Hexham (1m7f, good) two starts ago and travelled well until stamina ebbed away over 3m at Perth last month; remains on a workable mark; can make his presence felt. |
6/1 |
|
5th 2 |
12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Gained both chase wins over 2m4f (one here); no match for progressive rival when second at Hexham (1m7f, good; first run after wind surgery) last month but that was still a good effort; a possible if suited by this new trip. |

14th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 2 |
11st 12lb |
Very useful chaser who made all at Ascot (2m3f) in December; off five months, ridden patiently but failed to get home when fifth of eight in 3m handicap at Perth three weeks ago; stamina again likely an issue here. |
8/1 |
|
5th 3 |
23rd Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
11st 8lb |
Five chase wins, all with give in the ground, the latest at Ascot last December (2m3f, good to soft) when wearing cheekpieces for the first time; no headgear here; has stamina to prove on first try at 3m, but stable continues in fine form. |
15/2 |
|
3rd 1 |
6th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 216y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Fitting of cheekpieces sparked a revival in December, when landing a fifth success over fences at Ascot (2m3f, good to soft); followed that up with a career-best RPR when third off this mark there (2m5f) the following month; respected but he'll need to leave behind a lesser effort last time. |
