19th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 7f 110y |
10st 6lb |
Tailed off in three starts this year (two over fences); was a two-time winner in 2023 but hard to recommend now. |

Won twice over fences in 2023 but has shown very little since; hard to recommend on what he's shown this year. |

11st 13lb |
Has lost his way since winning a Down Royal handicap chase in December 2023; didn't show enough on return from an absence latest; likely best watched back over hurdles. |

1st Jan 2023 Good To Soft 2m 5f 44y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Eight-race maiden who has finished in the frame on both starts over fences, last time chasing home a 100-1 shot in a 3m handicap at Southwell (soft) when cheekpieces were on for the first time (retained); a possible. |

26th Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Ran well at Perth in September (2m4f, soft; hurdles) and he has shown better form in two chase runs since, missing out by a neck at Southwell five weeks ago (3m, soft; first-time cheekpieces, retained); still has better to come in this discipline. |

23rd Sep 2024 Good 3m 2f 59y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Chase winner at the second attempt when always prominent at Cartmel (3m1f, good to soft) in June; well held over hurdles next time and perhaps heavy ground not ideal when still running well back chasing at Cartmel; has a long absence to overcome. |

10th Sep 2023 Good 2m 5f 135y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Regressive 9yo who is yet to add to his slow-ground win in Ireland in 2021 and achieved very little when remote second to Toad Of Toad Hall here (3m2f, good to firm) in May; arguably ran better than bare form suggests when last of four at Cartmel (3m1f, heavy) in July but remains a difficult horse to enthuse over. |

28th May 2023 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |

Placed three times last year but has been pulled up in latest two outings, most recently here (2m5f+); career record now 1-37 and that success came in Ireland more than two years ago; visor back in place of blinkers. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
C&D record of 2-7 includes victory in this race in 2023 off 5lb higher (good); pulled up in last year's renewal, however, and other results last term offer scant optimism on this return from seven months off. |
25/1 |

19th Oct 2025 Good 3m 2f 59y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
Has won off higher marks in the past but has regressed in four appearances this year; tried cheekpieces last time; others safer. |
