26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Best effort this term when second in this grade at Market Rasen (2m7f, good) on penultimate start; on last winning mark so holds a fighting chance from a handicapping perspective. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 3 |
10st 9lb |
Well handicapped and looked booked for a return to winning ways at Market Rasen (2m7f, good) until reeled in late on; strongly considered on the back of that effort. |

16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |

Back on same mark as Kempton win in May 2024 (3m, good); likely to be all the better for his latest run (first for 290 days); interesting. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good 3m 6f 153y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Reportedly appreciated the heavy ground when rallying to lead close home at Huntingdon (2m7f) last month; will be suited by the longer trip here but the ground will be much quicker this time and he's very unreliable now. |

19th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 4f 178y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Returned to form with narrow win in this race a year ago (heavy) and is now 1lb below that mark but well beaten all four starts since (three this season) and needs to bounce back again; headgear (worn for last two races) removed. |

Now 3lb lower than for Ffos Las win (3m, heavy) in December 2023 but this season was a major struggle even before he clipped heels and fell early on latest outing; overall score is 2-40, with 32 of those races over hurdles. |

27th Jan 2023 Good 3m 0f 84y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won a high-profile staying chase at Wincanton (3m1f, good) in autumn 2021 but has lost his way and was beaten 28l on his return to hurdles at Warwick (3m2f); dropped further in class here but with questions to answer right now. |

11st 6lb |
Has performed reasonably in three hurdling starts since returning from a spell chasing, the latest over 2m7f here two weeks ago; tendency to race keenly a negative and only hurdle win came more than two years ago. |

3rd Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won chase debut in December 2021; not so good since but the handicapper has reacted and this season's form (back over hurdles on latest start) suggests that he has a place chance. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Prevailed in a Pertemps qualifier at Chepstow (2m7f, soft) to make it four wins from his last seven starts; building up a respectable strike-rate and the 9yo has certainly improved with age; not ruled out. |
12/1 |

21st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Two soft-ground wins last term and another at Newbury (3m) on reappearance; respectable third to King Of The Lake here but not so good at Warwick latest; needs to find extra and 7lb-claiming amateur (who rode a winner for the stable last Saturday) is recruited. |
9/1 |

6th 9 |
18th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Good strike-rate (3-5) in 2025; creditable third at Chepstow (2m7f) last time and remains in form but is held by Royal Rambler on that effort and has perhaps reached his ceiling after climbing the weights. |

Both wins gained at Uttoxeter; can take plenty of driving and again he raced lazily when tailed off at Fontwell on final sighting last May; goes on the ground and stays well, but others appeal more. |
