29th Sep 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Has some useful Irish Flat form on his CV and is 2-6 over hurdles since joining Dan Skelton, the latter win gained in C&D handicap ten weeks ago (made all); seemed to enjoy the run of the race that day but could still have a biggger performance in him. |
6/1 |

1st 9 |
20th Jul 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Again jumped to the left but still beaten on merit in a C&D novice latest (good); no wriggle room off 7lb higher mark than for his previous three-runner Warwick handicap win, but still unexposed enough to do better. |
11/2 |

2nd 3 |
5th Jul 2023 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Finished behind Myristica three starts ago but has run well in two handicaps since, comfortably beating two rivals at Warwick five weeks ago; likely to improve further and looks one for the shortlist. |

2nd Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Won over hurdles at Bangor in August 2023; should strip fitter for his first run in 616 days when sixth of eight at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) last month but may be best watched for now. |

2nd Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Consistent once sent into handicaps until disappointing on his final outing in September 2023; something was evidently amiss given subsequent absence and trainer can get them fit at home; on a good mark. |

3rd 5 |
5th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Proved well suited by the step back up to 3m1f and good ground when keeping on well to score at Ffos Las last month; faces a different question here off 5lb higher but likely to be thereabouts if reproducing the effort. |
5/4 |

1st 2 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Inconsistent over the last 12 months or so, but second at Exeter in November showed that he stays 2m7f and his best effort since was on latest outing (a rallying third over 2m4f three weeks ago); much more to prove if the ground is not softer than good, but he has to be considered. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 2 |
16th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Pulled up on chasing debut in January (wore cheekpieces) and did not see out 3m on heavy ground when back over hurdles here (first-time blinkers) last month; current mark is workable and this drop back in trip looks the right move but others in the field have much less to prove. |
