15th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 50y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Over two years since he won a race but latest third at Uttoxeter (2m4f) looks all the better now with the winner Wellington Arch going in again last week at Aintree; this 8yo might have a preference for slightly slower ground but he's respected. |

Fourth in this race last year off 4lb lower, he has been placed on his last two starts and the drop back in trip and better ground should see him go close. |

Stamina has not been proved after two attempts at 2m7f, albeit latterly when a mid-race faller on chase debut in December; good second of 17 back over hurdles at Haydock (2m5f, good to soft; acts on heavy) three weeks ago under Freddie Keighley and there is some stamina in the family. |

Easy win at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft) last October and he's continued to run well (soft/good to soft), finishing 11l fourth of 17 at Haydock (2m5f) in January on his last handicap start; not ruled out each-way although there's a suspicion he's vulnerable to stronger stayers at this trip. |

In good form in handicaps this season, winning easily at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft) in October and running well in defeat at Haydock (2m3f/2m5f, good to soft) on his last two starts; also effective on soft; has been shaping as though this drop back in trip could suit; major player. |

Four handicap runs, winning the first of them, at Catterick (about 1m7f, good) on New Year's Day, and a good second to an improved winner at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) in March; carries a big weight but respected now aiming lower. |

Underwhelming at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) last time but encouraging signs previously, winning on handicap debut at Catterick (1m7f, good) then sixth of 17 at Haydock (2m5f, good to soft) when fading late on; this sharp 2m4f could be a good fit and he's not ruled out. |
