6th Apr 2025 Good 2m 3f 164y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Made virtually all to score over C&D (soft) in February, his third start over fences, and was very creditable third in higher-grade company at Sandown (2m4f, good) last month; ought to be a very tough nut to crack. |

26th Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 10y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Solid record at Sandown was enhanced when he scored in good style over C&D (good) seven weeks ago, leading three out to get off the mark as a chaser at the fifth attempt; 5lb rise may underestimate that and he could also be open to further improvement; big shout. |

Has a win, two seconds and a third from just six outings at Sandown; ran close to his best when runner-up over C&D in February, keeping on from the rear; solid claims once more. |

15th Oct 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Dual chase winner here (2m3f/2m2f) in March 2025 who also picked up a four-runner hurdle race at Plumpton this May when last seen; thereabouts if he's sufficiently tuned up for this return. |
5/2 |

26th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |

Dual chase winner but below his best in two runs over fences during March; returns to hurdling off a realistic mark and has placed form in this discipline. |

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 |
11st 5lb |
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. |

1st Oct 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Went 3-3 here when returning from long absence to score over C&D in June; not at his best when beating only one in 2m2f handicap at Newton Abbot only run since but remains of interest returned to this track on the back of wind surgery. |
9/4 |

19th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Lightly raced and he's 2-2 over fences, at Southwell 40 days ago (about 3m1f) defying a 13lb rise and a 393-day absence with a narrow verdict; if he can back that up then a 3lb nudge shouldn't be beyond him. |
11/4 |

9th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won over hurdles here in October 2024 and returned from seven-month break with wide-margin C&D (good) success on chasing debut last May; absent for another 13 months since and now 13lb higher but remains unexposed over fences and can evidently go well when fresh. |
