22nd Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Course winner over hurdles last season (2m3f, heavy) and made quite promising chase debut in December; yet to build on that performance but was in contention before bad jumping error seemed to knock the stuffing out of him in the straight here a fortnight ago (first-time visor); no surprise if he gets his act together over fences soon. |

5th Jun 2024 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Has yet to get his head in front but placed in bumpers and hurdles (1m7f-3m) and fully entitled to make a better chaser, in keeping with so many from his yard; a good stamina test is probably what he needs. |

15th May 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Eight-race maiden but he's finished runner-up four times including in a 3m handicap at Taunton (soft; first-time blinkers) last month; took a strong hold in that race and he could find more progress on this drop back in trip; respected with tongue-tie added. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Lightly raced 8yo; won his first handicap at Exeter in March when beating a shorter-priced, in-form stable companion by a short head (3m, good); now 4lb higher and could go well, but lacks consistency. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 25y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Won a weak maiden on this card 12 months ago and hasn't found any improvement this season in handicaps; on the plus side, it was quite a deep race he ran in at Newbury last time. |

14th Jan 2026 Good 3m 0f 57y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Gained his Exeter success last spring in a weak maiden; has regressed in two handicaps this season; however, still lightly raced and this is a drop back in class, so may prove resurgent. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 0f 54y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Two wins over fences at about 2m4f (soft and heavy) during early 2024; hasn't matched that in ten starts since and was never competitive when pulled up at Ffos Las (2m, soft) on his reappearance ten days ago; new headgear combination needs to spark a revival. |

10th Apr 2025 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
2-13 over fences, with the wins over about 2m4f in the mud last February and March; second off a career-low mark at Lingfield (2m, soft) this February, followed by a respectable show in first-time cheekpieces, but today's trip and forecast good ground both ask major questions. |

15th Jan 2024 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Lightly raced; only 11-2 for his second run in a handicap at Exeter (2m2f, soft) but was beaten 22l in the end; stamina to prove over this far and he's 5lb out of the weights. |

13th Dec 2023 Soft 2m 2f 111y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Tongue tied on last two starts and cheekpieces were fitted for handicap debut on latest (possibly stretched by 2m4f, on soft) but he still has not made a significant impact; 3lb out of the handicap. |

25th May 2025 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
2-20 over hurdles; put in good front-running shift before weakening into fifth at Ffos Las (2m4f, good) this month and may benefit from today's drop back in trip but others in the line-up have more appealing profiles. |

Stuck to his task pretty well when fifth of 12 in Fontwell handicap (2m3f, good) 11 days ago but has rather mixed record since winning 2m Plumpton maiden in October and others appeal more. |
