21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Won good-quality handicaps at Aintree (2m5f) and Cheltenham (3m2f) towards end of 2024; not at best in 2025 but he shaped as if retaining ability; missed the Grimthorpe at Doncaster in February due to soft ground; drying conditions should help and, back to his last winning mark, he's a possible. |

11th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 1 |
11st 1lb |
The writing was on the wall very early when pulled up at Musselburgh latest and it's hard to be confident on the back of that; however, this 7yo has enjoyed a progressive season otherwise, completing a hat-trick with his win here (3m2f, good to soft) in December before solid third at Wincanton (3m2f, good to soft); can make bold bid if bouncing back. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
0-11 over fences; well handicapped on some of his placed form for Sam Thomas in 2023-24 campaign but ran poorly on only appearance last season and made low-key reappearance for new stable last month; revival needed. |

30th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
0-10 over fences when trained by Sam Thomas; ran several good races in defeat and will be suited by today's trip/ground but was out of form when last seen last November; market may guide on stable debut. |

Stays 3m5f; three of four wins were on heavy, the other on soft; latest was in January 2021 and although runner-up in two of his three completions this term, he needs to bounce back from a modest show just before Christmas. |

19th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 5f 137y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
He's tumbled down the weights but for good reason, having been pulled up on his last four starts; the return to hurdles and the first-time tongue-tie need to have a dramatically positive effect; blinkers left off. |

10st 6lb |
Not beaten far when third of four at Doncaster (2m3f, soft) last month and remains very well handicapped on last season's form but has basically become disappointing; needs latest headgear switch to perk him up. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Has more wins over fences, most recently at Exeter (3m, good to soft) last month under Ciaran O'Shea; failed to fire 20 days later but he's effective in this sphere as shown when a close second at Chepstow in February; yet to win from a mark this high but should be firmly in the mix. |
9/2 |

26th Mar 2026 Good 3m 6f 136y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Often front-runner; ridden by Ciaran O'Shea on last four starts; 7-22 in chases (one of his hurdles wins was this track) and those wins include his last two completed starts in this sphere, the latest at Exeter (3m, good to soft) three weeks ago; this trip is unknown territory but he ran well over an extended 3m4f at Stratford in 2024; has to be in serious calculations. |

6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |

Back to form to win a Wincanton chase (3m1f, soft) in December and nearly went in again back over hurdles at Chepstow in a race he won the previous year; nothing wrong with this mark and stable goes well. |

9th Sep 2025 Soft 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |

Well over three years since his only win; out of form and out of the weights; little significance in the return of cheekpieces. |

25th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Plugged on for fairly respectable fourth at Newton Abbot (2m5f, heavy) last month but it's over three years since his only win and he's a good way out of the handicap again here. |
