6th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Ran fairly well when fourth on last two hurdling starts at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good) but it's over two years since his last win in that sphere and this Flat-bred 9yo has left it late in the day to begin his chasing career. |

21st Aug 2025 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Dual 2m5f hurdle winner here in summer 2023 but has largely struggled since; however, he took a good step forward with a tongue-tie added when fourth over C&D last month dropped to this level; well treated on best form and has possibilities, especially if recent wind surgery has a positive effect. |

14th Jul 2025 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Yet to add to his two 2m5f novice hurdle wins here in summer 2023 and returned from a break with two very disappointing runs last month; needs first-time tongue-tie to make a big difference. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Five-time hurdle winner, including over 2m5f here in October when ridden by Isabelle Ryder, form which gives him a solid chance; beaten 35l at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) in November and needs to bounce back but he's won off a similar break in the past. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 2m 5f 163y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Knows how to win and was close up in a Class 3 handicap last time at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) which was bordering on his best form; every chance. |

11th Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
C&D winner in May (2m4f, good) when back from a winter break; lesser efforts the last twice and looks the stable second string. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 0y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Ended string of heavy defeats when third in first-time cheekpieces here (3m1f, good; handes soft) last month but didn't find much in the closing stages, and it's hard to tell whether he'll build on that performance. |

3rd 1 |
4th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 5y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Only 1-24 and that win was nearly two years ago; he was in no form earlier this year and plenty depends on whether cheekpieces can trigger something; he's dropped to a good mark. |
9/2 |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Sole win came off just 1lb higher in May 2024; some creditable efforts subsequently but his hurdling has often held him back and he's been tailed off all three starts since January. |

1st Sep 2023 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Winning pointer who made the frame in two novice hurdles in July (2m4f/2m5f); remains very unexposed under rules and is open to significant improvement now upped in trip for handicap/chase debut; tongue-tie fitted. |

10th Jul 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Closely related to useful chaser Mystical Knight; won good-ground maiden point on British debut in May 2022 but managed only third when upped to restricted level in November; probably best watched on rules debut. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
In a new visor he won two 3m2f handicap chases at Newton Abbot last August; has looked too high in the weights since then and he's 0-11 as a hurdler; others preferred. |

13th Apr 2026 Good 3m 5f 24y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Won twice in a visor at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good/good to soft) last summer; untested beyond that trip and absent since respectable second of three in the autumn (without headgear, as today) but current mark is workable if he's fully tuned up. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 157y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Struck form in new visor in August, winning twice at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good/good to soft) by clear margins, but suffered big dip in form on next two outings and was unable to land a telling blow when fourth in refitted cheekpieces at Newton Abbot on Saturday (albeit not beaten far in the end); no headgear today. |

17th Jul 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Runner-up off 7lb higher in Southern National at Fontwell (3m3f, good to soft; first-time blinkers) in November but not firing on all cylinders since; weakened into well-held fourth here (3m2f, good) on latest outing in May; needs to turn a corner; versatile ground-wise. |

4th 5 |
31st May 2023 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
Has reached the frame several times since October, including when a fair fourth at Wincanton (3m1f, good to soft) last time; well treated on his best chase form but he's now 1-16 in this sphere and that win was in December 2020; others look stronger. |
