7th Sep 2024 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Very well handicapped on some of last year's form for Milton Harris and but was out of sorts during three-race spell for Syd Hosie and pulled up on recent debut for latest new trainer; headgear refitted; revival needed. |

Well treated now but lost his way badly after leaving Milton Harris and tried chasing last time; too risky. |

24th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Six-time course winner, all on good ground (2m1f-2m2f); left behind a couple of poor efforts earlier in the year when a respectable fourth over 2m5f here in May but refused to line up when withdrawn here three weeks ago; well handicapped on old form and hard to dismiss if in the mood. |

4th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Six-time course winner on good ground (2m1f-2m2f); woeful in two starts away from this track in the spring but he'd dropped to a dangerous mark when a respectable fourth here (about 2m5f, good; winner's won since) last month; will appreciate a strong gallop on this drop back in trip and can rarely be ruled out here. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Kept on for third at Worcester (2m, good) in August and should be fine over today's longer trip, but was well beaten (albeit in a higher-grade race) at Chepstow last week and has become unreliable. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 11y Class 4 |

Record of 1-9 over fences so more exposed than some in here but responded positively to cheekpieces in his last two; this does look tougher, though. |

20th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Versatile 8yo who is not very consistent but ran fairly well in first-time cheekpieces at Newton Abbot (2m, good) last month and is now only 2lb higher than when winning over fences at Southwell (2m, good) in the autumn. |

Back in Britain after three unsuccessful runs for an Irish yard in early part of this year; makes stable debut from a workable mark and is versatile regarding ground but he's tricky to weigh up at the moment. |

Quite useful dual-purpose horse in his prime but out of form on the Flat and over hurdles last year; needs to have been revitalised by 169-day break. |

5th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 3f 140y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Three-time Flat winner who has tumbled down the weights; some fair hurdle form in 2023 but he's struggled on his three outings this year (one on the Flat) and a major turnaround is needed in a first-time tongue-tie. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Fine on all ground; in a good run of form since the blinkers went on four starts back and this might not be quite so demanding as the Exeter race he contested last time; in the mix. |

6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 161y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Only blinkered this season and the aids are working well, registering a fourth hurdle win under a positive ride at Wincanton (2m, heavy); 5lb rise sees him on a career-high mark but he has to be considered; good to soft is fine. |
5/1 |

1st 5 |
3rd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Two good runs in blinkers this season, latterly when clear second of 13 at Wincanton (1m7f, soft; unraced on heavy) in December; nudged back up to his career-high mark since but still commands respect. |
5/2 |
