17th May 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
Disappointed in both chases during very light campaign last season but looked very promising as a novice hurdler (including on good ground) during the 2023-24 campaign and it will be interesting to see whether he can get his career back on track now back over hurdles after a break. |

9th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Often gives his running in strong handicaps (second in this event 12 months ago) but losing sequence is up to 11 and he looked held when falling two out in the Plumpton race won by Indemnity last time; cheekpieces left off today; opposable off unchanged mark. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
Had strong handicap form even before finishing second to Alexei in the Greatwood and fifth in an Ascot handicap that could barely have worked out any better, with the four ahead of him all delivering high-profile efforts in the meantime (well in with fourth-placed Mondo Man); failed favourite backers in a lower grade at Newbury but this strong traveller might have won had he not been left in front two out (then idled); every chance should this pan out more favourably; all ground seems fine. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |
12st 2lb |
Had some very strong handicap form even before his last two runs when second to Alexei in the Greatwood and fifth in an Ascot handicap that could barely have worked out any better, with the four ahead of him all delivering high-profile efforts in the meantime; must have every chance in this lower grade; drying ground won't bother him. |

0-2 in bumpers and now 0-7 over hurdles, having been turned over at odds-on in two of his last three races; travels well but seems very one paced when it matters. |

Runner-up three times, latterly in a soft-ground maiden here last month; returns to this level after finishing midfield in the Imperial Cup (lost a shoe); major form claims in the new cheekpieces. |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Having dropped down the weights he returned to form with a close second at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) last May; absent since; in the shake-up if resuming where he left off; it's a long time since he raced on soft/heavy ground but he won on soft going in October 2023. |

Now 4lb lower than for last summer's 40-1 win at Worcester (2m4f, good), but hasn't come close to matching that performance in his subsequent hurdling starts. |

18th Mar 2023 Soft 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
9-1, made an encouraging start when clear second of six in bumper at Warwick in January; this demands more but he's open to progress and can't be ruled out. |

2nd 2 |
14th Jan 2023 Heavy 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Cost 28,000euros as a 3yo; half-brother to a winning hurdler/chaser in France and from the family of smart jumper Pic D'Orhy; some appeal on paper, but the stable is only 1-19 in bumpers in recent seasons. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Last five wins have all been gained over 2m4f, but three defeats since May's latest Uttoxeter success (her fifth there) have taken her score to 0-4 racing off marks in the 120s; rivalry for early lead. |
9/1 |

3rd 5 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
6-16 over hurdles, her latest success being at Uttoxeter in May (2m4f, good); one of her best runs was when 2l second to Fiveonefive in this race last year, but she is now 6lb worse off with the winner. |
20/1 |

4th 1 |
13th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 3 |

Only win away from Uttoxeter came over today's C&D in May 2025, and she was a good third in this race soon after (split Johnson's Blue and Well Educated) despite pulling; well held off career-high mark latest. |
