19th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
10yo who has come a long way down the weights and he's had a sticky period since finishing second at Market Rasen five runs back; however, coming back from 3m could be a good move. |
7/2 |

9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Difficult times since back from absence last June but he's dropped a long way in the weights and there have been some signs of life; non-stayer over the extended 3m3f at Stratford recently (Carpe Diem runner-up) but he didn't run badly and better is expected. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 3f 119y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Back with his former trainer on his last five starts; landed a four-timer for this yard in 2023; hasn't won since and has failed to complete on his last two starts; visor worn last time is left off; well handicapped if able to return to anywhere near his best form. |

1st Jan 2024 Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Very well handicapped on some of last year's placed form but returned from break with three below-par runs in the autumn and needs to turn a corner; won a heavy-ground hurdle in France in 2021 but may be best suited by good ground. |

14th Dec 2023 Soft 2m 7f 3y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Runner-up four times over fences at up to 2m5f during the spring/summer but below par in a hurdle race/chase at Wincanton since returning from a break; up in trip; others have less to prove. |

12th Oct 2023 Soft 2m 5f 150y |

Three-time hurdle winner when trained in UK where he has finished a modest 3rd on three of his four chase starts; needs a return to form. |

20th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Front-runner who is 2-3 since fitted with a visor this season, with both wins gained over 2m6f here (good to firm); may not have things all his own way today and this drop back in trip is probably not ideal but further progress is not out of the question. |
5/1 |

1st 1 |
29th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Front-runner who returned from seven-month break with 7l win in first-time visor over C&D (good to firm) last month; only 3lb higher than for that success but he failed to repeat the form when a remote fifth at Worcester (2m7f, good); that was another blip in his patchy profile and he needs to bounce back again. |
