20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Tailed off when back over hurdles at Sedgefield last month and something to prove after that; however, he's 2lb lower than for his ready win over fences here (2m7f, good to soft) in December and shouldn't be discounted. |

19th Feb 2026 3m 3f 9y Class 4 |

Won a handicap chase at Musselburgh in December (2m7f, good to soft); shapes as though this trip will suit, is 7lb lower over hurdles and could go well. |

26th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 7f 149y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Point winner (3m); slightly disappointing since finishing runner-up on hurdles debut at Carlisle (2m3f novice; 11-8 favourite) in December; had seemingly run his race - on the retreat on handicap debut - in the voided race over 2m4f here this month; still low mileage. |

14th May 2024 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
0-5 over hurdles and has sometimes raced a bit too freely but looked suited by switch to patient tactics when third at Sedgefield (2m4f, soft) in March; further progress is possible if forecast faster ground suits here. |

10st 4lb |
Beaten over 50l when third of six here (2m2f heavy) three weeks ago and now 0-8 over hurdles; dryer ground might aid his cause but he remains difficult to enthuse over. |

3rd Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Quite promising bumper debut when fifth of 13 at Doncaster (good) in January but his next two bumper runs were very disappointing and it's hard to know what to expect from him on this seasonal/hurdle debut. |
14/1 |

24th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Made an encouraging start when fifth of 13 at Doncaster (2m, good) in January but he was pulled up in similar conditions there (2-1 favourite) the following month; was reported to have lost his action in that race and he comes with risks attached after that. |

3rd Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Fell on Irish point debut in February and was last of four finishers on second start a few days later; probably best watched on today's rules debut. |
