17th May 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Big chance on his peak 2022-23 efforts win or lose, and laid down a fair marker on return last month (2m3f, good) despite a wide route; no certainty to back that up, but remains on a career-low mark. |

25th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Won a C&D novice (good) in October 2022 but he struggled in a chase and seven hurdle races last year, trying headgear on last three starts; very well handicapped now and if the 130-day break has perked him up he'd be a huge danger; watch the market. |

14th Nov 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Just four career starts; won the novice hurdle on this card a year ago but pulled up on handicap debut the following month and absent since; could be a threat if all's well on chasing debut. |

7th Nov 2023 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Delivered on earlier promise when game winner of Lingfield novice hurdle (2m3f, soft) a year ago; off since poor run on handicap hurdle debut on New Year's Eve but could have significant untapped potential over fences. |

25th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Returned to form with two placed runs towards end of last season (2m7f/3m, good), and wasn't beaten far when eighth, behind Al Sayah, at Haydock (3m, good) this month; Sean Bowen rides here; can make presence felt. |
11/1 |

9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
10st 6lb |
Inconsistent and only 1-18 under rules; placed twice from four starts over C&D, including when third to Serious Chat on latest start, but there appear to be more potent options among his rivals. |

3rd 10 |
15th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Only 1-17 but has flashes of smart form in good handicaps and easily his best run for ages when a rallying second at Bangor last month (2m7f, good; effective on softer); weighted to win races and seriously considered. |

8th Mar 2024 Heavy 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Sole win came in a Ffos Las bumper in April 2022; competitive over hurdles, but yet to prove his worth as a chaser (0-2); has undergone more wind surgery since finishing fourth of eight (beaten 30l) over C&D in January; early days for current trainer Stuart Edmunds. |

31st Jan 2024 Good To Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Bumper winner and placed over hurdles for previous yard; ran badly on sole chase attempt but has the potential to do better judged on sole point effort; heed the market signals on debut for new stable. |

4th Jul 2023 Good 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Bumper winner and narrowly beaten in a handicap hurdle in January off 2lb higher; latest no-show was over fences in new headgear so best to put a line through that; could go well if taking to the new cheekpieces. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Landed his third success over fences at Plumpton (2m1f, soft) in February; shaped as if his stamina gave out when third of five finishers here (2m4f, good to soft) last month; may be worth another chance back in trip on better ground. |
4/1 |

1st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 189y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
Justified favouritism at Plumpton (soft) dropped back to 2m1f last time, building on a solid Haydock effort and taking chase record to 3-8; versatile and steadily progressive sort who gained his other wins over 2m4f/2m5f on good ground; respected. |
7/4 |

1st 4 |
9th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 219y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Seven runs over fences have produced two wins and as many seconds; bumped into a progressive rival last time at Haydock (2m4f, good to soft) and should have a part to play. |
