17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Pulled up at Warwick in January last time but was in pretty good heart towards the end of last year and he's now 1lb lower than when winning at Haydock (3m, good) last March; also handles soft; capable of going well. |

23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 5y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Only 1lb higher than for his Haydock win over a similar trip last March; does have a lot of weight though and was only fifth at Haydock last time, finishing just behind Gwennie May Star. |

11st 10lb |
Not well handicapped but arrives here after a 3l second of eight at Uttoxeter when tried in cheekpieces (2m7f, good); no reason why he won't be involved once more. |

4th Oct 2024 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Has won a point and a bumper; placed twice in handicap chases this summer until below-par run at Worcester last time; more exposed than most. |

1st Sep 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Won his only bumper; 0-13 jumping under rules (3-6 in points) but placed in good-ground handicap chases at Uttoxeter (3m2f) and Perth (3m) on last two outings; place chance again. |

17th Aug 2024 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Turned over at short odds on final start for Jack Teal, and didn't offer much on his first two starts for this trainer; better when a staying on third in similar company at Uttoxeter (3m2f, good 14-1) latest; 2lb higher and others favoured. |

6th Sep 2024 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
0-16 over hurdles but all five of this season's runs were respectable and he continues to edge down the weights; swaps cheekpieces for refitted blinkers here; probably won't be far away. |

9th May 2026 Good 3m 2f 0y |
10st 2lb |
Second runner for yard; won five times over hurdles and once over fences when trained in UK; three chase starts for this yard with best run coming when fifth at Limerick; needs a fair bit more. |
25/1 |

6th Apr 2026 Yielding To Soft 3m 0f 120y |
10st 10lb |
Useful performer for Henry Daly, winning six races, including an Ascot handicap chase; modest form in two starts for this stable, albeit trip and testing ground probably not ideal on latest; new cheekpieces need to spark. |

8th Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 6f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Had one or two issues to contend with in his two bumper runs but from a good family and could turn out to be better than he was able to show, now tackling obstacles; check the market for clues on hurdles debut. |

22nd Nov 2022 Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Had excuses in early-season bumpers at this course (bit slipped through mouth) and Hexham (finished lame); from a good family and looks a possible improver now hurdling. |
