19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Made the frame (albeit safely held) in two good-quality hunter chases (2m/2m1f) last May and dug deep to beat useful rival in small-field open point at Charing (3m, good to soft; subsequently disqualified) in January; turned over at short odds in latest point but still enters calculations. |

30th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 213y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Should have stamina to spare as a dual Fontwell winner at up to 2m3f; fared okay deep into this month's Cheltenham stable debut (2m) but still beaten over 15l, and have to hope that run was simply needed. |

10th May 2023 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Kept on from unlikely position to take 80-1 second here (2m3f, good) last month, his fourth start over hurdles; posed no threat to the clear winner and the value of the form is open to question but, nevertheless, there's a chance he can snatch another minor prize today. |

2nd 5 |
21st Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 49y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Showed promise in his second bumper in December 2020 but, after more than two years off, he's struggled at big prices in three hurdle runs (2m/2m5f) this year; easy to look elsewhere. |

6th May 2024 Good 2m 0f 54y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Sole hurdles win was in a Stratford novice (2m, good) in October 2022 and he's been beaten around 16l in his two chase runs; mark continues to fall and is still early days in this sphere but he needs improvement back from a break; cheekpieces added. |

15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |

Bumper/hurdle winner in France; two fair efforts with cheekpieces on his last two runs over hurdles; needs to improve on chase debut. |

3rd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Bumper/hurdle winner in France in autumn 2022; pulled up in two British handicap hurdles last year but, following a wind op, ran well for a long way when fifth at Leicester (1m7f, heavy; first-time cheekpieces) a fortnight ago; back up in trip with tongue-tie refitted today; a possible. |

11st 9lb |
Bumper/hurdle winner in France in autumn 2022 but not seen again until pulled up in two British handicap hurdles last year; had wind op in November and now sports cheekpieces; big leap of faith required to support him. |

21st Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 49y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
3-1 for a Southwell bumper (2m, good) on his debut last May but he never got involved before finishing a tailed-off last of ten; lost a shoe in that race but he now returns after 11 months off and has quite a lot to prove on his hurdling debut. |

25th May 2025 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
2-20 over hurdles; put in good front-running shift before weakening into fifth at Ffos Las (2m4f, good) this month and may benefit from today's drop back in trip but others in the line-up have more appealing profiles. |

Stuck to his task pretty well when fifth of 12 in Fontwell handicap (2m3f, good) 11 days ago but has rather mixed record since winning 2m Plumpton maiden in October and others appeal more. |

Only two completions from seven career starts to date, and replication of form of last-time Fontwell fifth ought not suffice here. |
