21st Dec 2024 Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Made it a remarkable nine wins (heavy-good to soft) from his last ten starts when scoring at Chepstow (2m7f) last December; pulled up on his only outing since but that was a tough ask in a hot handicap here four weeks ago, after an absence of nearly a year, and he's not written off. |

9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Has won three times over fences, the latest over 2m4f here in March last year (good to soft; visored first time); hasn't done quite as well since; stays 3m and on a good mark now. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
1-39 over hurdles, the win gained here (2m, good) last May; inconsistent and although he stays 2m4f and latest start was one of his better days, today's position 7lb out of the handicap makes things tough. |

Runner-up at Sedgefield in November and not disgraced on penultimate start, but those are the only bright spots in his last nine races; reverts from chasing (last five starts); overall he's won just one (a hurdle race last May) of 47 and today he is 3lb out of the handicap. |

3rd Jun 2023 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Won his point on testing ground and conditions were also on the soft side for his three runs over hurdles, the best being a near 10-length defeat on handicap debut at Wetherby (3m) last time; unexposed under these conditions and, with cheekpieces turned to, he has to be of interest. |

26th Jan 2023 Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |

Hasn't threatened when third on his first two hurdle starts (2m3f/2m5f) but those were still fair efforts and this soft-ground 3m point winner should be an improver now up in trip on handicap debut. |

Second at Catterick (3m1f, heavy) last month and also ran well when close fifth at Wetherby (3m, soft) a fortnight ago; evidently in good nick but is 0-18 over hurdles now and may have to settle for another minor role. |

10st 3lb |
Nine-race maiden but he went close off a reduced mark at Hexham (2m4f, heavy; 4-1) last week on only his second start over fences; that was his most convincing effort so far and has claims if he can back that up. |

11-race maiden but only two starts over fences and was close second at Hexham (1m7f, heavy) last week; nudged up 3lb but he still looks feasibly treated and has form at up to 2m5f over hurdles; dangerous in another change of headgear. |

30th Mar 2023 Heavy 1m 7f 133y Class 5 |

Tailed off on chase debut here (3m, heavy) a fortnight ago but he's never convinced over that trip and he ran okay for a fair way; good third over hurdles at Ayr (2m5f, heavy) in January when wearing first-time cheekpieces and perhaps the first-time blinkers will give him a boost today. |

Won in October on first two starts for yard (about 2m6f, good/good to firm) before fair third at Huntingdon (3m1f, good to soft) and he's returned to winning ways the last twice (3m/2m7f, good); he'll have something to prove if the ground is slower than good but he's clearly thriving and his winning spree may well continue if conditions aren't an issue. |
