28th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 3f 154y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Better chaser than hurdler, last win being in a Cartmel handicap chase in August (2m5f, good to soft); well beaten last twice; could go well but better on faster ground than is forecast. |

25th Jan 2024 Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
10yo who makes his first start since last August but he did well for his new yard last year, winning twice (2m4f/2m5f, good/good to soft), and he's also effective on soft; the betting may be informative on his return. |

4th Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 65y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Incredibly consistent on his last four starts, three seconds and a win (all on good between 2m3f and 2m5f) returning an RPR of 100 each time; had course form over hurdles for previous connections and he's a player once again from an unchanged mark. |

21st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
In good form over C&D this summer since the visor returned, just denied on his June reappearance then going one better 20 days later, and matched those efforts when down in trip and runner-up at Stratford (2m3f) last month off this mark; likely to run well again. |

2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Two wins last season, the second off 3lb lower over C&D in October (good); hasn't been in quite such good form in 2026, but has had a break and can't be rule out. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 59y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Five chase wins, the latest off 5lb lower at Hexham (3m, good) in October; creditable second to very progressive rival at Wetherby (3m, good) on next outing but form has slumped since (hurdling last time). |

17th Feb 2026 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |

Stays at least this far and was in good form over fences for most of last year, but he has a bit to prove against younger rivals on his first start over hurdles in almost three years. |

23rd Apr 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Claims on last season's best but he made an underwhelming return from 320 days off at Plumpton 23 days ago; needs to leave that effort behind him. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Back on the lowly mark off which he snapped a long losing run in December 2024 at Carlisle (3m2f, soft); remains to be seen what ability remains on this stable debut following 14 months out. |

13th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |

Got back to winning ways at Carlisle (3m2f) in December but well below par both runs since at Uttoxeter and back at Carlisle; this course winner has something to prove. |

7th Sep 2023 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Two small-field wins (2m4f/3m1f) over fences last year but he's struggled in last four runs including when pulled up at Perth in June; with new yard now and he needs to turn things around after a short break; visor reapplied. |

20th Jul 2024 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |

Nine-time course winner, most recently when holding on gamely to make all off this mark last summer; looked out of sorts when pulled up on all three subsequent outings, though, and age may be catching up with him now. |

6th Jan 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Placed in two juvenile hurdles in France during the autumn of 2021 (2m/2m2f, soft/very soft); early days with this yard and market suggested that better was expected of him on his handicap debut; now goes chasing still unexposed. |
12/1 |

27th Nov 2022 Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |

Soundly beaten in mid-division in Chepstow maiden hurdle (2m, good to soft) on this month's British debut, but he may have needed that run and he was placed in two juvenile hurdles in France in autumn 2021 (2m/2m2f, soft/very soft); not discounted now handicapping for in-form yard. |
