11st 3lb |
Good start to his stable/chasing career, winning well at Worcester before finishing clear of the rest when second at Southwell 12 days ago; up another 3lb but looks the one to beat; handles soft ground. |

16-race maiden who changed hands cheaply (£2,000) last month but has joined a respected yard; 2lb out of the weights; market interesting on chase debut. |

18th Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Has a solid record over fences, with plenty of places alongside three wins in 15 attempts; might strip fitter for his Bangor run which followed wind surgery. |

Three chase wins, the latest in this race 12 months ago off the very same mark; could be interesting after wind surgery and recent rain welcomed. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Safely held when fourth over fences at Fontwell (2m2f, good) this month but that was his first run since November (also his first after a wind op); reverts to hurdling on mark just 2lb higher then when winning this race by 14l on good ground a year ago; must be considered. |
15/8 |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Sole success came when wide-margin winner over hurdles at Fakenham just under one year ago but he's finished runner-up on 12 occasions, including five times in succession over fences between September and November; had wind surgery after heavy defeat over hurdles at Windsor over five months ago; market might guide on this return. |
9/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
20th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Won over hurdles at Fakenham (2m4f, good) in June and was runner-up in two chases last month, latterly behind King Of The Story at Warwick (2m4f, good); also ran well back over hurdles at Fakenham on Friday, but the forecast rain is a worry. |

29th May 2024 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Became disappointing for Alan King and is yet to be placed for current stable; took step back in right direction and ran well for a long way before fading into sixth over hurdles at Ludlow (2m5f, good; first-time cheekpieces) this month but still makes only limited appeal. |

21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Kept on well to win from the front at Ludlow (3m, good to soft; front pair clear) in February and remains well handicapped on best of last season's form but he's too inconsistent to rely upon heavily. |

1st 7 |
26th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Ran quite well when second (albeit well held) at Huntingdon (2m4f, soft) three weeks ago and will be fine over today's longer trip but he's very inconsistent nowadays and it's nearly two years since his last win. |

5th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 189y Class 5 |

Dual chase winner who is well treated on best form; not particularly solid on his results this season, the pick at Hereford when over half the field failed to complete. |

10st 9lb |
Only win came on good ground off 2lb higher here last May (3m1f); has run well since then but form has taken a turn for the worse this year and should have run better only 19 days ago at Hereford when back on good ground. |

8th Mar 2025 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Only win came on good ground off this mark at Warwick last May (3m1f); was knocking on the door in the autumn (on good and good to soft) and a softer surface has perhaps found him out the last twice; better expected. |

Came good with comfortable win at Ludlow (2m, good) in February and is now 1lb below that mark but has largely been disappointing since and needs to turn a corner. |

24th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |

A long time since he showed his best form and very opposable on how he's performed in the last year, especially as he's out of the weights. |

22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Peak RPR of 98 came in an identical C&D event over two years ago (good); 0-8 since, however, with a breakthrough rules win seeming further away than ever on this season's efforts; 2lb out of the weights. |
40/1 |
|

1st Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 59y Class 5 |

0-10 over fences; runner-up on consecutive outings in autumn 2023 (2m3f/2m7f) but absent since two underwhelming runs last summer (2m1f/3m2f) and may need further than 2m nowadays. |
