2nd May 2026 Good To Yielding 3m 0f 90y |
11st 12lb |
Decent sort at his best, career-best performance when close second in last season's 2m5f Topham at Aintree; very lightly raced this season, most recently running well for long way in same event before fading from last; type who could go well here if taking to the banks (won only point-to-point). |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 1 |
10st 6lb |
Well below his best on both runs this season, the latest at Leopardstown in December; however, he produced a career-best performance when a close second in this 12 months ago (good to soft), pulling clear with Gentleman De Mee, and the return to Aintree could spark a revival; on the shortlist. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 208y Class 2 |

Better known as a chaser now and ran big race over the big Aintree fences in April (2m5f, good to soft); 1lb lower for this first hurdle run since May 2024 but this different test may not show him in quite the same light. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Less contested lead than often the case when making it seventh time lucky over fences at Huntingdon last month (2m, good), and Stratford second off 6lb higher since consolidated that form; up another 1lb here but pace rivalry could prove more the issue. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 213y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Started off for Sarah Humphrey with two disappointing hurdle runs in the autumn but has turned things around over fences since, and kept on well to win by 7l at Huntingdon (2m, good) a fortnight ago; recent 6lb rise demands more from him here, though. |

All three wins over hurdles when trained in Ireland; running well at present and second of five at Plumpton (2m1f, good to soft) last month; threatening to get his head in front for this yard. |

17th Aug 2023 Good 1m 7f 110y |
11st 5lb |
Short-price favourite when coming unstuck in a pair of bumpers and a maiden hurdle on first three starts, but ran well in defeat, not the case when poor in two starts hurdling in the interim; switches to chasing with a fair few questions to answer, but must show a fair bit at home and far too early to overlook. |

Alarmingly weak in market at Wexford lately and ran accordingly; hard to fancy despite respectable runs previously (always odds-on); at least he drops in trip but consistently weak finisher. |
