3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Five wins include two over fences, the latest at Huntingdon in October (2m4f, good) when 2lb higher; not so good in his five subsequent defeats and record when fresh is modest. |

22nd Feb 2026 Soft 2m 2f 208y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Won this in 2025 (good to soft) and was also on target at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in October; back on a good mark now and should be fine on today's forecast soft ground but has become far too inconsistent to rely upon. |

4th Nov 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Drew clear on run-in to score by 13l at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) last month, form that was franked by the runner-up over the weekend; not one to rely upon heavily, though. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Best at about 2m4f and he's looked to have stamina limitations in the majority of his runs beyond that trip; below his latest winning mark, last May, but he's failed to complete in two of his last three runs since back chasing and some reservations remain. |

16th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Unseated rider when returned to chasing in January and has suffered a heavy defeat since; on a workable mark and suited by this C&D/slow ground but has some questions to answer. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Landed the odds in three-runner chase at Plumpton (about 2m3f, good; acts on soft/heavy) in May; solid hurdles second under Osian Radford in December and still on the premises when blundering that rider away over fences (also Ludlow, 3m, good to soft) last month; drops back down in trip; respected. |

14th Oct 2024 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Just 1-10 over fences but ran well in defeat in first-time blinkers at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) in August and was placed (over hurdles) on both previous visits to Hereford; no surprise if he features. |

5th Jul 2024 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
1-8 over fences and mostly running well but he can throw in the odd modest effort and wasn't at his best behind Doctor Foley at Fontwell in May last time out; could well leave that effort behind back today and he needs considering. |

12th Oct 2023 Good To Firm 2m 0f 161y Class 5 |

Capable handicapper at this level but has run moderately on the Flat and over jumps on either side of a three-month absence; others safer. |

24th Aug 2023 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won at Lingfield in December and did so under Ned Fox in five-runner race over this C&D (good to firm) in May; ran poorly in a Flat run last time but that was just one day after his win here and is best forgiven; probably needs to improve on his British hurdles form. |
5/1 |

29th May 2023 Good To Firm 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Added to his three Flat wins in Ireland when scoring over hurdles in December; respectable second in a selling hurdle at Exeter (2m2f, good) last month and he's not ruled out off a dangerous mark back in this sphere following another hurdle win at Fontwell yesterday. |

19th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Fair hurdler in his prime; returned to form when dead-heating with good hunter chaser in two-runner point in March and backed up that performance with very respectable third in Garthorpe open (3m, good; tongue-tie/cheekpieces refitted) last month; one to consider. |

15th May 2025 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Dual course winner, including at this trip (good to soft), but without a win since May 2023; inconsistent this year, a respectable run over C&D (good) in March coming in between two lesser efforts, including when favourite last time; tends to go well here but probably not the percentage call. |

10st 13lb |
Well beaten after racing too freely on handicap debut at Hereford (2m3f, soft) in November and not seen again since; had wind surgery in December and now has tongue-tie fitted; needs significant improvement, but it would be reckless to write him off at this stage. |

23rd Nov 2022 Good To Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |

Showed nothing more than minor promise in his three qualifying runs in February-April 2021 (all over 2m) and makes handicap debut after 601-day absence but is open to improvement at some stage and market support will make him of significant interest. |

Pulled up in first two chases but has fared better on last couple of outings, more recently when staying-on second of five at Catterick (1m7f, good) 12 days ago; a contender here if coping with the slower ground. |
