28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Well treated on old form but he's been lightly raced since his chase win at Exeter (3m, good) in November 2022; returned from 11 months off with fair fourth at Ascot in November but he was tailed off at Hereford the following month; cheekpieces are now added and he has something to prove after another break. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Veteran who is hard to predict but he may have had stamina issues when pulled up in the Devon National (3m7f) and he ran well over an inadequate 2m3f (good to soft) on his penultimate run; this trip is a much better fit and he's well handicapped on old form; not ruled out in new headgear. |

20th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 6f 153y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
11yo who has had some layoffs; unseated at the first fence on November reappearance; fifth of ten here eight days later, when 2m3f was probably far too short, was a step back in the right direction and his sole chase win (from ten attempts) was at this track, but he's yet to prove himself beyond 3m1f (tailed off once over 3m2f); acts on soft but not the percentage call. |

14th Apr 2024 Good 3m 1f 152y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Last season started well before he lost his way; however, he does seem best when fresh and was returning from 153 days off when going close at Stratford in October (2m6f, good); over this more suitable trip, after a break, he has to be of interest. |

Has gained both wins over this C&D (soft/good to soft); respectable fourth back at this track 16 days ago; clear second (off 1lb higher) in this contest 12 months ago; solid chance. |

Both wins have been over C&D, including when left clear at the final fence in this 12 months ago on his return from an even longer absence; has a big run in him off this mark. |

He won a four-runner handicap at Ascot (2m5f, good) in November but has failed to kick on subsequently, proving no match for Genois and Outlaw Peter when fifth at Exeter (2m3f, good to soft) four weeks ago. |

29th Sep 2025 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Regressive 10yo who has not won since February 2023; ran fairly well when second of five over C&D (good) in May but was well held in the end, and was pulled up when reverting to hurdles in July; others have more appealing profiles. |

31st May 2025 Good 3m 3f 119y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Won comfortably at regular haunt Chepstow (3m6f, good) in March and was probably unlucky not to follow up there (3m2f, good; in front when sprawling on landing at final fence) last month; went up another 5lb after the latter run, though, and may not be quite so effective on this sharper track. |

8th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Ran his best race for this yard when second to Docpickedme in a three-finisher race at Doncaster (3m, good) but Newbury was underwhelming even when taking into account the drop back to 2m4f; not easily recommended on the back of that. |

4th Mar 2023 Good 2m 4f 118y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Handily treated and he ran his best race for this yard when second of three finishers at Doncaster recently (3m, good); his best form these days is at that trip though so he needs to show he still has what it takes at 2m4f. |

9th Feb 2023 Good 3m 0f 84y Class 3 |

Has dropped to a mark 9lb lower than when going very close at Cheltenham (3m, good) last April and a market check is advised, but he's been a long way below his best on his three starts for this yard; major turnaround needed. |

Progressive handicapper over fences last season at about 2m4f until pulling up in a handicap at the Cheltenham Festival and then falling mid-race at Chepstow when trying 3m for the first time; could have improvement lurking as a stayer and there's nothing wrong with his mark. |

30th Jan 2023 Good To Soft 3m 1f 152y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Returned from break with wide-margin win last spring but generally very disappointing since; last month's Taunton fourth (3m2f, good) was a step back in the right direction but he was well held in the end; others have more appealing profiles. |

21st Dec 2022 Good 3m 2f 57y Class 4 |

Emphatic winner off a 3m2f handicap at Newton Abbot (good) in May but he's not come close to that form since and has been tailed off and pulled up at Exeter (3m) in last two starts; now 4lb lower than for last win but he has a lot to prove. |
