22nd Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Made very bright start to career in bumpers in autumn 2019 but lightly raced since and hasn't fulfilled his potential over hurdles; justified short odds in run-of-the-mill Fontwell maiden (2m3f, good) in October but has a lot more on his plate on this return to handicap company. |

With a leading trainer and he's dropped to a dangerous mark; could get back on track at some stage and a market check is advised, but he's struggled on his three outings this season. |

22nd May 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Dual C&D winner in spring 2023; however, there's been little to shout about in the meantime and, while the return of this headgear is probably a good thing, this 11yo has too much to prove. |

Dual C&D winner in spring 2023; he's not fired in the same way since and is now 11 but took second back over C&D last May (4lb lower today); absent since November and the lack of any equipment is striking (for a start, he's been tongue tied all starts under rules) but he's worth a second look. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 25y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won this race two years ago; as good as ever (after a wind operation) when scoring by over 9l over C&D in November (good) but hasn't offered a great deal since, beaten 22l in staying handicaps at Doncaster and Ascot; others preferred. |

14th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 123y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Showed the benefit of a wind op and looked as good as ever when scoring by over 9l on seasonal debut at Exeter (2m7f, good) in November; also suited by soft/heavy ground but disappointed when last in action and will probably find younger rivals better handicapped here. |

15th Apr 2025 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |

Weakened quickly and was pulled up on consecutive outings during the winter but looked back in much better nick when respectable sixth at Newbury (3m, good to soft) last month; another 2lb lower here; contender if able to build on that recent effort. |

4th Mar 2023 Good 2m 4f 118y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Hat-trick of wins in early 2022, the middle leg in this race (soft; subsequent Cheltenham win on good); hasn't been in the same form this winter but he ran more promisingly than the distance beaten suggests at Uttoxeter recently and is now only just above his latest winning mark; respected. |

Signed off last season with a hat-trick of wins at about 2m4f, all of them under Isabel Williams; yet to replicate that form this term and the handicapper has eased him only 2lb in the process; others appeal more. |

29th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 2m 5f 82y Class 4 |
12st 9lb |
Completed a 12-day hat-trick in October 2020, culminating in this race; two long layoffs since but he was back to form when scoring under Olive Nicholls over C&D in April and Kempton last Sunday, seemingly helped no end by the introduction of cheekpieces; all five wins on good or good to firm but he also has a good piece of heavy-ground form (2021); did it easily last week, so should go well under his penalty in hat-trick bid. |

8th Apr 2023 Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
First sign of retaining ability since returning from a long absence when 4l third over 2m4f at Uttoxeter in refitted cheekpieces (retained) three weeks ago; not certain to benefit from this shorter trip but he is well handicapped. |

18th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |

Beaten a long way on all four outings since returning from a long absence but his mark is in freefall as a result; given 12 weeks off and worth a precautionary betting check with cheekpieces refitted. |

22nd Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |

Back from long absence with three disappointing efforts this autumn; ran well to a point in refitted cheekpieces at Kempton (3m, soft) last time and is too well handicapped to be ruled out but he has a lot more to prove than some; no headgear today. |

11st 10lb |
Well beaten in two of three starts for this yard but not beaten far in the other, when fourth at Ffos Las in January; hasn't won since December 2019 but has often faced tough tasks; facing a few questions but not impossible off this mark; can make the running. |

10th Apr 2023 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 4 |

His last win was in a Grade 2 event but that was over 1m7f in December 2019 and he's struggled in two of his three runs for current yard, including at Sandown (2m4f, soft) last time; on much-reduced mark but he comes with risks attached. |

Quite useful hurdler but not an immediate success over fences; in moderate form over hurdles for new yard but was tenacious, despite wandering, when hanging on to his lead in an ordinary beginners' chase at Leicester recently (2m, good); favourably treated on past hurdle form and might improve. |

Won a six-runner handicap at Wincanton (2m4f, good) last March and is now 2lb lower; however, he was down the field on his final run last season (2m5f, good) and tailed off on his reappearance at Ffos Las (2m4f, soft) in December; this 10yo needs to get back on track. |
