3rd Oct 2024 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Low-mileage 9yo; returned from layoff with good second at Chepstow (2m, good) in April but was tailed off at Worcester in August, after another break, and needs to put that performance behind him. |

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

Low-mileage 9yo; back over hurdles when second of nine at Chepstow (2m, good), but was finding it hard work when falling at Warwick in early May; this is a drop in grade, though. |

23rd Nov 2023 Good To Soft 2m 5f 89y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won on rules/hurdle debut here (2m4f, soft) in March and, although beaten under a penalty the next twice (2m4f, soft), those were still respectable runs; this very lightly raced point winner (3m, good to yielding) is open to improvement now over fences on his handicap debut; firmly in calculations. |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Has won twice over hurdles, the second a C&D novice handicap at this meeting in 2024; some fair runs over fences last term, but has yet to find his form this season. |

17th Mar 2025 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Did not fire at Uttoxeter last month and is now 0-5 over fences but his clear second at Catterick (3m1f, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) two starts ago was a good effort and he'll be suited by the forecast good ground here. |

8th Feb 2025 Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Sent chasing over 3m+ for last four starts, beaten a nose on first occasion and good second with first-time headgear at Catterick on latest; that requires respect but worse than good to soft ground would be a worry. |

8th Jun 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
0-15 on the Flat but did show some ability at a low level over staying trips; no impact in three hurdle runs here this spring but he faces a more realistic assignment on this handicap debut. |
5/1 |

22nd May 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Placed twice on the Flat last year but soundly beaten here on both hurdling starts this spring (2m/2m4f). |

17th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
8lb out of the weights when prevailing by 2l over C&D ten days ago for which he carries a penalty; therefore, 1lb lower now, but whether he'll back that up remains to be seen. |

7th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Fair third over hurdles last September but struggled in that sphere subsequently and soundly beaten on recent chase debut here; 0-15 over hurdles/fences and 9lb out of the handicap this afternoon. |

18th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
0-14 over hurdles, having been pulled up on his last two outings; might be boosted by the refitted cheekpieces on this chasing debut but looks far too risky. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 110y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Two good-ground wins during the winter but nothing positive to take from his last two races and the weather forecast doesn't bode well. |

25th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Returned from break with good-ground C&D win in October and followed up at Market Rasen (2m5f, good to soft) a few weeks later; struggled on heavy ground at Fontwell in December but has been freshened up again since and Sean Bowen keeps the ride; must be considered. |

1st May 2026 Yielding 2m 4f 55y |
11st 1lb |
British runner; hurdles winner is now rated 22lb higher over fences after back-to-back wins on soft ground over 2m4f at Sandown; decisive victor of five-runner contest in January and justified 4-6 odds last month when seeing off two rivals; this big field is new for him, but he's in fine form. |

7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 15y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Things clicked when he went up in trip over C&D (soft) in January in a first-time tongue-tie (retained) on his third chase start, and he won in decisive fashion from one who scored next time; 8lb rise might not stop him. |
11/10 |

31st Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 15y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Has proved expensive to follow, aside from one win (over hurdles); however, campaigned mostly at 2m and may improve for this step back up in distance, combined with fitting of tongue-tie, in third chase attempt. |
