17th Apr 2026 Soft 2m 5f 91y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
This season hasn't been completely devoid of spark and he continues to drop down the weights, but he hasn't been shaping as though he's about to take advantage and his losing sequence is up to 11 races. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |

Hasn't won over hurdles since landing a Grade 2 novice in November 2023; has plummeted in the weights but doesn't look ready to take advantage. |

31st Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 103y Class 1 |
10st 8lb |
Unraced on heavy; not disgraced in fifth when cheekpieces were enlisted at Windsor on last two starts, the latest over 3m on soft, but that's still way below his peak form and he needs better. |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
On workable mark if judged on last season's hurdling form at around 2m4f for Paul Nicholls but his chasing debut last March was underwhelming and his finishing effort on seasonal/stable debut in December (favourite) was very disappointing; upped in trip here; has a point to prove. |

11st 10lb |
Winning pointer who is 0-5 over hurdles and 0-6 as a chaser; hasn't been threatening to put that right, with and without headgear; found a weak race here but could do with upping his game. |

3rd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 3y Class 3 |

Won twice last season (2m5f/2m3f); back in prime form when clear second at Hereford (3m1f, good to soft; also suited by soft) in December, his second start this term, and remains unexposed as a stayer but ran poorly at Newbury last month and has become hard to predict. |

Another C&D winner (November) but could have run a lot better on last two outings, latterly only five days ago when tried in a visor; the blinkers return but this is a quick turnaround. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 137y Class 4 |

Much better could have been expected at Hereford (3m1f, good to soft) in December last time but he won here (2m7f, good to soft) in November and it will be no surprise if he bounces back with a good run now back here in a first-time visor (replacing blinkers). |
9/1 |

23rd Sep 2025 Good 3m 2f 0y Class 4 |

Returned from layoff with 3m2f win at Fontwell (good) last autumn and was also in good form when last seen in the spring; swaps cheekpieces for first-time blinkers on this reappearance outing; major player if fully tuned up after latest break. |

Bought for £120,000 after winning a 2m4f good-ground British point in April 2022; debut under rules has been a while coming and the stable jockey rides their other one; of interest nonetheless. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |

13th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
2m4f hurdle winner (heavy); well treated on his best hurdles form; was perhaps too free on his chase debut at Ffos Las (2m5f, heavy) last December, before being pulled up at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) latest; has dropped 8lb over those two starts and no surprise if he is able to show more. |

17th Jan 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |

Faded into fifth on last month's chase debut at Ffos Las (2m5f, heavy); however, he may have needed that first run since last February and this lightly raced 8yo has hinted at staying potential in a point and novice hurdles; no surprise if things click today. |

Ran encouragingly on chase debut here but not built on that and continues to be let down by his jumping; cheekpieces may help in that respect and he would have claims with a trouble-free round. |

17th Mar 2025 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |

Did not fire at Uttoxeter last month and is now 0-5 over fences but his clear second at Catterick (3m1f, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) two starts ago was a good effort and he'll be suited by the forecast good ground here. |

Sent chasing over 3m+ for last four starts, beaten a nose on first occasion and good second with first-time headgear at Catterick on latest; that requires respect but worse than good to soft ground would be a worry. |

7th Feb 2024 Good To Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |

16-1 for a Chepstow maiden hurdle in October, where he finished remote but was found to be lame; 12-1 at Taunton (2m, soft) one month ago on second start, making some late headway from well off the pace into 11l fourth of 13; essentially looks a longer-term prospect, with lots to learn, but this looks such a weak race that he could have claims. |
