22nd Mar 2024 Good To Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
2-4 in novice company over hurdles last season but he's been pulled up in both his handicaps including on his chase debut at Ayr (2m, good to soft) in November; now returns to hurdling after a second win operation but he needs a major revival after another break. |

2-4 in novice company over hurdles last season; not seen since struggling in Scottish Champion Hurdle here in April but still looks interesting on today's chasing debut. |

22nd Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |
10st 6lb |
Has won two minor events in the north of England and was found an easy opening in which to defy a penalty last time; 4lb 'wrong' for this severe hike in class and it looks a big ask. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) at Wetherby (2m, soft) in December and has continued in good form, finishing second on his last two starts (1m7f/2m1f, good to soft); very solid claims. |

25th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |

Record of 212 since switched back to hurdles from chasing, the win at Wetherby (2m, soft) in first-time cheekpieces; Musselburgh effort (1m7f, good to soft) last time resulted in a career-best RPR; should go well in the retained headgear. |

Both his wins have been over 1m7f at Catterick, the latest off this mark in February 2024 (soft); several fair efforts since, including after a 325-day break last time; each-way chance. |

18th Aug 2023 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Progress as a hurdler has flatlined, but he's 5lb below his highest winning mark on Tapeta, and although yet to record an RPR above 56 in four Flat turf starts this is easier than any of those; cheekpieces added. |
25/1 |

6th Aug 2023 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Travelled strongly when third of six on handicap hurdle debut at Southwell (2m, good) in June and he won over staying trips on the Flat which suggests he may have potential at this distance; however, he has to bounce back from two below-par runs over hurdles (2m/2m4f, good); unraced on slow turf. |

10th May 2023 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |

Represents in-form stable and he's one to watch in the betting on this third start, but he's been well beaten at 50-1 on his first two outings (2m, good/heavy) and may be one for handicaps. |

11st 3lb |
Made light of a 538-day absence to win for the first time on his stable debut at Market Rasen (2m, good) 12 days ago; handicapper has reacted by raising him 9lb but that may not be enough to stop him following up. |

Offered nothing during the briefest of comebacks in autumn 2024, and another long absence since; now 25lb lower than when first entering handicaps, however, and remains in the same ownership now as then; check for market confidence ahead of this stable debut. |
