23rd Mar 2025 Good 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Off 444 days before this season, during which he's been well below form but still managed a third at Wetherby (3m, soft) in January; latest start was a rare foray over fences; accelerating down the weights and first-time blinkers replace his usual cheekpieces. |

11st 1lb |
Only had three chase runs and he's off the same mark for the 3m2f win at Doncaster just over two years ago; has to recapture that level of form but he's been running over hurdles this season. |

10st 6lb |
0-10 in Ireland and 0-7 in Britain; pulled up over C&D in December but that was after a 662-day absence and he was an always-prominent third of 17 to Blue Hop at Doncaster (3m) three weeks ago, so needs a second look. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Best effort this term when second in this grade at Market Rasen (2m7f, good) on penultimate start; on last winning mark so holds a fighting chance from a handicapping perspective. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 3 |

Well handicapped and looked booked for a return to winning ways at Market Rasen (2m7f, good) until reeled in late on; strongly considered on the back of that effort. |

16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |

Back on same mark as Kempton win in May 2024 (3m, good); likely to be all the better for his latest run (first for 290 days); interesting. |

Won over 4m here in March 2025 (good to soft); won again at Bangor in October (3m, good); pulled up at Bangor last time (3m5f, soft) but has since has 73 days off; chance. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 5f 142y Class 4 |

Has won over 4m so did well to win over 3m here (good; has won on soft) in October when only 2lb lower; comfortably held since at Uttoxeter (3m2f) but has the form and attributes to feature in a race of this nature. |

His second at Plumpton (3m1f, good) was encouraging but not his following effort there and he's now 0-11. |

23rd Apr 2023 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |

Not much to shout about this winter but his second over C&D (good) on his penultimate start was more encouraging; pulled up on soft ground back here 13 days ago; wait for the elusive first win may continue. |

11st 1lb |
Bumper winner who is 0-7 over hurdles; had no apparent excuses when a 24l fourth at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) and hopes largely pinned on this longer trip making a difference (pedigree bodes well in that respect). |

22nd Mar 2026 Good 3m 6f 153y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Reportedly appreciated the heavy ground when rallying to lead close home at Huntingdon (2m7f) last month; will be suited by the longer trip here but the ground will be much quicker this time and he's very unreliable now. |
8/1 |

19th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 4f 178y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Returned to form with narrow win in this race a year ago (heavy) and is now 1lb below that mark but well beaten all four starts since (three this season) and needs to bounce back again; headgear (worn for last two races) removed. |
