1st Nov 2025 Good 2m 7f 185y Class 1 |
11st 9lb |
Unfair to knock his strike-rate of 1-12 over fences as he's run some crackers in defeat, with four seconds last season including a strong C&D handicap and the Ultima at Cheltenham in March; quite likely that he was over the top when last to finish in the 3m1f Grade 1 novice at Aintree; tough, consistent and much respected despite a challenging mark. |

4th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 210y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Only 1-11 over fences, the success in a Grade 2 Reynoldstown at Ascot that essentially fell apart; however, he's proved very consistent in good handicaps otherwise this term, second at the Cheltenham Festival (3m1f, good to soft) most recently; again likely to give his running. |

Failed to give his running over fences last time but ran really well at Ascot the time before and he's capable over hurdles; not dismissed. |

26th Dec 2022 Soft 3m 0f 150y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Front-running veteran who proved suited by the switch back to hurdling last term, including for a 2m5f win under 5lb claimer here and he also ran well here on next two outings; stamina isn't a problem and he goes well in the mud; his reappearance this time round was better than in the previous two seasons and he could have a say if that run has helped to put him right. |

Bumper and 2m6f hurdle winner on soft ground; formerly with Ben Pauling, for whom he lost his way; changed hands for £2,000 in February; cheekpieces go on; best watched on first start for this trainer. |

7th Apr 2024 Heavy 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
A teenager now and no longer the force of old but was placed three consecutive times before clinging on to win by a short head at Ffos Las (3m, heavy) in February; pulled nicely clear of the others with a next-time-out winner there, so a 4lb rise is arguably lenient. |
