13th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Well handicapped on form as recent as the winter but needs to better his recent efforts and does not always look wildly enthusiastic; raced mainly on good to soft/soft ground but has won on good; refitted blinkers the headgear of choice today. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 209y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won twice in blinkers on good ground last summer (2m/2m1f) but was given a break after two disappointing runs in the autumn and made a low-key return without blinkers last month; has blinkers back on today but needs to get back in the groove. |

16th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Two wins last summer (2m/2m1f, good), the latest off just a 1lb lower mark; form has dipped in his last two races, at Cheltenham and then Carlisle where he should have run better; absent since November. |

24th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 87y Class 3 |
10st 4lb |
Perked up by blinkers this summer, winning twice, but faded into third after setting the pace in run-of-the-mill Worcester handicap (2m, good) last month and is patently not the force of old. |

2nd Jan 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 189y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
The first of his two chase wins (from 19 attempts) was over C&D in 2022 and he was runner-up back here on reappearance this term; ran respectably at Southwell last time and should figure prominently in this field. |

26th Nov 2024 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Bit of a mixed bag since winning off 11lb higher here (2m, good to soft) in March last year, his second of eight at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) on his return last month (has a good record fresh) surrounded by lesser efforts; others are more convincing. |

7th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 189y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Gained three of four chase wins over C&D and returns here after going close on final two starts last season (2m4f/2m3f; wore cheekpieces last time); holds no secrets from the handicapper but will be fine on the forecast good ground and has obvious claims. |

2nd 4 |
17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
He's run well to be second on two of his last three starts (2m3f/2m4f, good/soft), most recently at Southwell four weeks ago; he's 4lb higher than last time but was clear with a progressive winner; high on the list. |
3/1 |

2nd 5 |
18th Feb 2026 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Third in this last year; four-time chase winner (all at about this trip) but hasn't scored since November 2024; close second at Catterick (2m3f, good) on penultimate start but lesser efforts either side of that; remains below his last winning mark and holds each-way claims again. |

16th Apr 2024 Heavy 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Debut hurdles winner in Ireland in 2021 but he's 0-8 over fences and came in only a fair fourth of seven in 3m2f Chepstow handicap chase last time; he needs to take a step forward. |

24th Feb 2024 Heavy 3m 2f 54y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Generally very disappointing since heavy-ground win on hurdle debut in Ireland in 2021, and didn't show a great deal in two 2m3f handicap chases for new stable last month; goes beyond 2m4f for first time under rules here; others have much less to prove. |
