In a solid run of form but this is a tough mark for an exposed 9yo and he's undergone a fourth wind operation since finishing fifth at Perth in early June. |

22nd May 2025 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Essentially disappointing since finishing second in a bumper and was beaten 21l on handicap debut at Chepstow (2m3f); that was after a lengthy absence and now goes in cheekpieces over a longer trip (3m point winner). |

Runner-up in good-ground course bumper in October 2022 but struggled to get competitive in four subsequent hurdle races that season (2m-2m3f); makes handicap debut after 742-day absence; considered only if lively in betting. |

5th Jun 2024 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Has yet to get his head in front but placed in bumpers and hurdles (1m7f-3m) and fully entitled to make a better chaser, in keeping with so many from his yard; a good stamina test is probably what he needs. |

Eight-race maiden but he's finished runner-up four times including in a 3m handicap at Taunton (soft; first-time blinkers) last month; took a strong hold in that race and he could find more progress on this drop back in trip; respected with tongue-tie added. |

Winning Irish pointer; off the mark on 11th hurdle start on return to this trip to win a novice handicap at Uttoxeter last time (good); tongue-tie and blinkers were back on that day and he wears them again here; 5lb higher, but a possible. |

12lb lower when winning over fences in February but has posted three good runs on the bounce now, the last two over hurdles (2m, good to soft); sure to be involved if holding his form. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Stamina to spare at tonight's trip, and he's representing last year's race-winning trainer and rider combination; never especially consistent, however, and last month's Hexham disappointment as favourite took his chasing strike-rate to 2-16; unclear what to expect. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 4 |

1lb above last winning mark (3m, Southwell); knocking on the door at Taunton (3m4f; third) on penultimate start, and might have had a role to play in the Norfolk National at Fakenham (3m5f) latest but for falling three out. |

Back in good nick for his two runs last month, latterly when close third to Wicked Thoughts at Taunton (3m4f, good); still unexposed over marathon trips and still on a workable mark; could have a say. |

Eight-race maiden who was well beaten in three handicap chases in the autumn and is 3lb wrong here; difficult to enthuse over on that evidence but connections are persisting, and it's worth noting he attracted market support last time; wore cheekpieces two starts ago; blinkers tried here. |

Second in an Irish point last February (only two finished), after which he was sold for £80,000; two hurdle runs for this yard have seen him not get home over an extended 2m3f here; could rate higher now dropped in trip and handicapping but he will need more to defy this mark. |
