7th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Won two handicaps over similar trips to this last season, both on good ground; latest run in a Class 2 wasn't too bad and he's capable when fresh; this mark isn't beyond him. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Did well in cheekpieces last year, winning at Worcester (2m7f, good) in May and Aintree (3m, good) in October; not so good behind Super Survivor here (good to soft) in December but a return to form today looks possible for in-form yard; place hopes. |

26th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 149y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Won at Worcester (2m7f, good) in May in first-time cheekpieces (retained since); midfield at Market Rasen next time then runner-up back at Worcester (2m7f, good), albeit no match for the unexposed winner; also effective on soft/good to soft ground; might not be far away. |

7th May 2024 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Win last February came off this mark but he's offered little in two runs over hurdles back from almost a year off, latterly for his new yard a fortnight ago; the return to fences needs to help. |

Sole career win came in a Ludlow handicap chase in February of last year (3m, good); beaten a long way into third on his return from an absence in a 2m4f novice at Huntingdon. |

4th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Made all at Wetherby (2m3f, soft; form worked out well) just under a year ago but wasn't seen again until heavy defeat at Leicester (2m4f, soft) in December and needs to have taken significant benefit from that run. |
14/1 |

26th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 154y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won when back over hurdles at Leicester (2m4f, heavy) last month; beaten 12l into second of 15 when unpenalised at Wincanton (2m4f, heavy) nine days later and a 6lb rise has now kicked in, but it was still a creditable effort last time and she can give another good account. |

2nd Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 118y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Below best two starts ago but off the mark at Doncaster previously (3m2f, good) and he didn't do much wrong at Sedgefield last week (3m3f, soft) when chasing home one who has recaptured form of late; fair claims if fitting cheekpieces helps. |
9/1 |

23rd Mar 2023 Soft 3m 3f 9y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Disappointing last time but could well bounce back; showed he stays well at Warwick (3m2f, good) on penultimate start, opening his account, and remains unexposed beyond 3m. |
4/1 |

4th 4 |
3rd Mar 2023 Good 3m 0f 84y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Having dropped down the weights he attracted market support and returned to form to win a conditionals'/amateurs' handicap at Warwick (3m2f, good) last week; had something to spare and escapes a penalty; strong claims. |

led narrowly or disputed lead, headed and pushed along 3 out, led again when hit 2 out, joined last, ridden and headed run-in, rallied and led again towards finish, gamely |

26th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |

17-race maiden; some reasonable efforts in March/April 2021 but well beaten on both starts this season on return from more than a year off; currently comes with risks attached. |
