22nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Dual chase winner but his good runs back from an absence were over hurdles and he returned to fences last time when not so clever; considered off what remains a competitive mark. |
10/1 |

6th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 213y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Dual chase winner who returned from long absence with a game hurdle success in July and has since run well again in that sphere; reverts to fences on career-high mark but evidently in good heart. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Easily defied a 7lb rise for his Exeter win when strolling clear at Ascot (2m5f, good), albeit in a race that completely fell apart in behind; unlikely that this will be so straightforward off 8lb higher but arrives with his tail up. |
13/8 |

29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 13y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Consistent 10yo; he beat only two other finishers at Exeter (2m3f, good to soft; fine on good) and his pursuers appeared to underperform; however, the 7lb rise shouldn't be too damaging given he's performed well off similar figures in the past; solid contender. |

Ran respectably at Taunton last time and remains a consistent sort; scored off 1lb higher, beating Bonza Boy, on most recent attempt at Exeter (13 months ago); solid chance. |

21st Feb 2024 Soft 1m 7f 212y Class 5 |

Still a maiden and has failed to improve for the switch to chasing this term, though he is seemingly thought capable of better judged on his market position in those races; 5lb out of the weights. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Six-time chase winner whose form dipped in May/June and he fared little better over hurdles three weeks ago; should be sharper for that now back over fences but needs to find some spark. |

6th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Six-time chase winner (once here); competes off lower mark on this rare hurdling start but was not firing on all cylinders when last seen in the spring and needs to have been refreshed by three-month break. |

10st 13lb |
Won at Southwell (2m, good) in October but looked set to be second when left in the lead at Bangor; however, only 2lb higher now and he reportedly finished lame in November on his final run. |

27th Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 5 |

Watch the weather as all his best form is on good ground, including latest comfortable win at Southwell (2m); could deal with the 6lb rise under suitable conditions. |

20th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Caused 40-1 shock over C&D (good) in early part of last season and posted a couple of good efforts here in June but was pulled up at Market Rasen last month and is not easy to predict. |

19th Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 4 |

Ran well behind Rocks Up Late three starts back and again back at Worcester when well out of the weights; a poor run behind Greenways since was a reminder of his inconsistency. |

26th Mar 2025 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Dual 2m hurdle winner on yielding ground in Ireland; placed in 6-28 chase starts but recent form suggests that a 7lb drop and the application of cheekpieces won't see him break his duck in this discipline. |

16th Dec 2023 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |

Two course wins much earlier in career but latest successes came over hurdles in 2021 and out of sorts over hurdles, fences and on this track in recent starts; blinkers refitted. |
40/1 |

10th Dec 2023 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |

Regressive form over jumps this year and was tailed off over C&D on return to the Flat last month; others appeal more. |

14th Nov 2023 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |

Pulled up over fences at Exeter three weeks ago and hasn't raced on the Flat since October 2021; there's no obvious reason why he'll prove threatening to those with more recent Flat form; safe to look elsewhere. |
