31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 6f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Stacks of minor honours and his second in a Doncaster maiden last time, after 101 days off, was one of his best efforts; another was in November on his only go at about 2m6f; the lack of a win is a touch disconcerting, though. |

24th Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 0y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
4-9 over fences; creditable second in Class 2 chase at Uttoxeter (3m2f, good) this summer and filled same position behind revitalised opponent at Worcester (2m7f, good) last month; holds each-way claims at least. |
14/1 |

2nd 6 |
5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
4-8 over fences; ran big race when second of ten in competitive Class 2 chase at Uttoxeter (3m2f, good) on latest outing six weeks ago and is only 1lb higher here; probably best suited by good/good to soft ground but has been placed on soft; major player. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 205y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
After being placed 12 times he gained an overdue success around here (2m3f, good) in March; let down by his jumping at Warwick since but looks sure to be thereabouts. |
7/4 |

3rd 2 |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Mostly consistent in defeat over hurdles and the same again over fences until digging the deepest under a positive ride at Stratford (2m3f, good; first-time cheekpieces); must have every chance off 4lb higher. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 205y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
A summer jumper who mixes hurdling with chasing; won here over fences (2m5f, good) last October; returns from a six-month break and has never won following such an absence. |
5/1 |

18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 205y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Two chase wins in the second half of 2024 but has mixed record since last success and was well held over hurdles at Worcester (2m, good) three weeks ago; continues to drop down the weights but all of his wins have been at shorter trips and others are more convincing. |

17th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Dual chase winner at Worcester (2m7f, good) last summer; absent since heavy defeat over hurdles in November, though, and resumes on fairly tough mark; hooded for first time. |
25/1 |

14th 7 |
2nd Nov 2025 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Both wins for this stable came over fences (officially rated 5lb higher) at Worcester (2m7f, good) in the summer, but his sole success over hurdles came over C&D (good to soft) for Dan Skelton in April 2023; still needs to show he can do it in this discipline, though; stable also runs Calagogo. |
16/1 |
