Won off 4lb lower at Worcester (2m7f, good) last August under usual rider Eleanor Williams but out of form since; needs to be back to his peak. |

Won over hurdles at Worcester (2m7f, good) last August and he's versatile ground-wise; however, he hasn't shone over fences/hurdles on his two starts since and needs to get back on track. |

9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Difficult times since back from absence last June but he's dropped a long way in the weights and there have been some signs of life; non-stayer over the extended 3m3f at Stratford recently (Carpe Diem runner-up) but he didn't run badly and better is expected. |

3rd 1 |
19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 3f 119y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Back with his former trainer on his last five starts; landed a four-timer for this yard in 2023; hasn't won since and has failed to complete on his last two starts; visor worn last time is left off; well handicapped if able to return to anywhere near his best form. |

25th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Needs to rebound quickly from a poor hurdle run 16 days ago but last month's second over fences at Market Rasen (2m3f, soft) was a pretty good effort and the forecast faster ground here ought to suit him better; big player if first-time visor has desired effect. |

Highly fruitful in his two and a half years with this yard, including two wins (Flat/hurdles) this February/March; needs to bounce back from a rare flop but the chief concern is his 0-15 record on Flat turf. |

10st 11lb |
Kept on well to score at Warwick (3m1f, good) three weeks ago and is now 2-7 over hurdles; that looked a modest race and she's 6lb higher here but at least we know she's in good nick. |

4th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 5y Class 5 |

40-1 when making a successful handicap debut last summer and probably better again when beaten 2l at Plumpton the final time (3m1f, good); off since September which is a slight concern, but this race has no depth. |

21st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |

Evidently suited by hike up in trip when causing 40-1 surprise on handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) in July; subsequent Worcester fourth (2m7f, good) was perfectly respectable and further progress remains possible. |

Improved to win off lowly hurdle mark at Southwell (2m4f, good) in May and has remained in good form since; no surprise if he makes his presence felt on this chasing debut. |

31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Got off the mark at Southwell in July and creditable second in two handicaps here since, all on good ground over about 2m5f; well worth a go at this longer trip and has strong each-way claims again. |
3/1 |

2nd 7 |
17th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Got off the mark on his penultimate start, when getting racing early at Southwell (2m4f, good) and seeing it out well; tactics were similar when, after a 5lb rise, he was almost 5l second in a C&D (good) conditionals event recently; should be thereabouts. |

31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Sole win was an AW Flat race in 2022; easily his best show in eight appearances over hurdles was on latest start when second of six in handicap at Fontwell (near 2m6f, good) in June, giving some encouragement for this trip but he's now 4lb out of the handicap. |

10th Jun 2025 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Arguably ran a bit better than eventual 24l defeat suggests when sixth here (3m2f, good; Trevor's Lad close second) last month and may benefit from today's drop back in trip but, overall, his hurdling record is poor. |

25th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Struggled over hurdles in the 2023-24 season and, following a layoff, was pulled up at Plumpton (3m1f, good) this month; might have needed that outing and remains unexposed over this sort of trip but is not easily recommended from 8lb out of the weights. |

Back in better form for new yard, notably an account-opening win over hurdles at Exeter and second-place finish at Huntingdon (2m7f, soft) returned to fences; hurdles mark is 7lb higher; fighting chance. |

22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |

10st 3lb |
Back-to-back 3m2f wins at Fontwell and Newton Abbot last October (good and good to soft) suggest he'll enjoy this sharp track but the drop back from a stayers' trip doesn't rate an obvious plus. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |

0-12 over hurdles but came good in C&D (good) chase this month, his second start over fences, and battled gamely to follow up in conditional jockeys' race at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good to soft) on Saturday; escapes a penalty here and has obvious claims. |
