9th Oct 2024 Good 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Ended last season on a low note but ran big race in defeat at Worcester (2m, good) in August, after a break, and is still on a workable mark after a 2lb nudge; handles good to soft ground but may not want it soft. |

28th Aug 2024 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Won a maiden and a Southwell novice handicap last spring (2m, good/good to soft); hasn't run as well since and was pulled up on first run after a wind op in a mares' final at Cheltenham last time (2m4f, good; reportedly never travelling); bit to prove back from a break. |

Won maiden hurdle for Hughie Morrison in early 2023 but seen only twice since the spring of that year, more recently when pulled up over 2m4f here on last month's stable debut; others have considerably less to prove. |

16th Dec 2023 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Current mark reads well next to his peak efforts of 2021-22 but he's often keen, as when a remote third on his switch to fences at Huntingdon (2m4f); bit risky. |
16/1 |

3rd 8 |
14th Nov 2023 Good 2m 3f 189y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Unimproved for the application of cheekpieces (retained) when last seen in July, albeit refusing to settle; current mark looks good next to his peak efforts of 2021-22, including at this sort of trip, and smattering of chase winners in pedigree offers hope ahead of this switch to fences. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Three wins over fences this season and last two have been at Fontwell (2m2f/2m3f, good to soft); well-held second of four at Plumpton 19 days ago but that was behind an improver from the Nicholls yard; 10lb lower on this return to hurdling and he's an interesting contender in suitable conditions. |
5/2 |

2nd 3 |
5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Mostly in very good form since joining this yard and under a positive ride he held on comfortably when back from a break at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft), beating a reliable yardstick in the process; 4lb rise was fair; cheekpieces replace usual tongue-tie. |
5/4 |

27th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Made a winning debut for Chris Gordon in September and has continued to run well in defeat; this longer trip shouldn't be a problem but he has been edging up the weights and he's 2lb out of the handicap here. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 0y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Won over fences 13 months ago but returned from layoff with lacklustre hurdle run in April and is difficult to enthuse over after that performance; has usual tongue-tie refitted; seems versatile ground-wise. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |

Won over fences at Huntingdon (2m7f, good to soft) last March and returned from break with pleasing fourth over hurdles there (3m1f, good to soft) in November; absent for another 131 days since but won't be far away if in similar form again. |

5th Jul 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Well beaten in three novices and on handicap debut but much better when third at Bangor in May (first time in cheekpieces and on good ground, attracted support); more appeal than most on that basis. |

17th Jun 2023 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |

First run on good ground and in cheekpieces when showing more at Bangor (2m3f, good), finishing a near 5l third in a field of six; didn't go unbacked, either; chance. |

After a break he's been tailed off behind Wee Alki and here on Monday faded into sixth over 2m6f; others preferred. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Made all over 2m1f here (good) last July and came second here on next two outings (2m6f/3m1f); probably needed recent reappearance run and has a big role to play if back on song. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |

Three sound efforts on last three starts last summer (good/soft), winning over 2m1f at Cartmel and finishing creditable second over 3m there on final start; off for 252 days and likely to be better for the run. |
