19th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Only 2lb higher than for his 3m win at Doncaster in December; inconsistent and last two efforts were nowhere near his best, but perhaps blinkers will do something for him (good and bad when tried in cheekpieces). |

18th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Up and down this season and finished tailed off when favourite for a four-runner 3m handicap at Doncaster a month ago; this company is warmer than he's accustomed to and probably placed at best. |

3rd 3 |
9th Feb 2023 Good 3m 0f 84y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Reappeared with promising second on handicap debut at Ayr (3m, good to soft) in October and bounced back from lesser run at Carlisle for a hard-fought win over this C&D (good) in December; this lightly raced 7yo could have more to offer for his good yard and is on the shortlist up 4lb. |

Still runs well now and again but this 11yo is not as good as he was and become inconsistent. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 96y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Ran well for a long way when fourth at Doncaster (3m, good to soft; first-time tongue-tie) in February and remains well handicapped but this steadily regressive 11yo has become inconsistent, and others appeal more. |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 214y Class 3 |
12st 1lb |
Winless since December 2023 and pulled up over C&D in December on sole run this term; however, he may have needed that outing and is on a handy mark on last season's best efforts; has won here three times, including in these reapplied cheekpieces, and is not ruled out; the tongue-tie is a first. |

30th Jan 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Three wins for Neil Mullholland last season, including dominant C&D (good to soft) success under regular partner Victoria Malzard; very long in the tooth now but proved he retains significant ability when rallying third at Doncaster (3m, good) last month; must be considered. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
29th Dec 2022 Good 3m 0f 84y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
13yo who won three times under Victoria Malzard last season and is now 1lb below his last winning mark; however, he hasn't been at his best on either run this term (pulled up last time) and needs to raise his game. |

23rd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 2 |
10st 5lb |
Back over hurdles with respectable fifth of 15 in Class 2 event at Haydock (3m, good) two weeks ago; 5lb lower back over fences but he's 0-12 in this sphere and he fell at Ayr on his penultimate run; down the list. |
9/1 |

5th 8 |
9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Sparked just once in each of the last two seasons, at Doncaster; visored on latest start, after three runs in cheekpieces; often tongue tied as well but goes without any equipment today; his last hurdle race was in February 2024 and other options look a lot more solid. |
25/1 |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Good third off 4lb higher in first-time cheekpieces at Doncaster (3m, soft) in January; however, his form away from Doncaster hasn't been great in the last two seasons and the visor needs to have a positive influence. |

Has very good 8-32 hurdling strike-rate that includes win in 2024 edition of this race (good ground); not seen since July but has won when fresh before and returns on a workable mark; had another wind op last month (his fourth); shortlisted. |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Close third over hurdles at this meeting 12 months ago (3m, good to soft) and won in that sphere at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) last July; ran pretty well in 5l third at Newbury (2m6f, good) in December when back chasing for the first time since 2023, but this 10yo needs a bigger performance today. |

26th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 149y Class 3 |

Won with this visor back on at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) in July and went close at Cartmel (3m1f, good) the following month; versatile ground-wise and can be in the mix if continuing the good work after a two-month break. |

Course winner over hurdles; promising novice last season but hasn't progressed, best run when second (of three) at Kelso in February (2m5f, good); not so good there last time and visor now replaced cheekpieces; on a good mark. |

10th Jun 2024 Good 2m 4f 110y |
11st 3lb |
Mostly disappointing for Dan Skelton but he was previously a five-time winner for Joseph O'Brien; second on his debut for this yard at Killarney last July; pulled up at Bellewstown the following month; back to form when springing a 28-1 surprise at Killarney last month, 6lb higher now. |

10th May 2023 Good 3m 1f 166y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Six-time hurdle winner at up to 3m1f; well below par on his last two starts but showed at both Ludlow in January and Newbury in February that he retains ability; handy mark and down in grade; not written off. |
5/1 |

8th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Close third in this 12 months ago off a 3lb higher mark so dangerous to entirely dismiss; that said, he was in much better form coming into last year's race. |
