23rd May 2024 Good 3m 1f 110y |

Lightly-raced 8yo came good on chase debut in 2m6f Tramore beginners' chase last month (good), jumping well; beaten favourite back hurdling four days later at Downpatrick but race may have come too soon; ground remains in his favour but stamina concerns on handicap debut. |

16th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |

Still to score over fences and has been pulled up in 3m handicap chases at Hexham on his last two runs; tried in different headgear. |
20/1 |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
0-9 over fences and he's struggled on his last two starts; however, first-time cheekpieces had a positive impact when he was second off 4lb higher over C&D (good to soft) last November, so perhaps today's first-time blinkers and tongue-tie will give him a boost. |
16/1 |

25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Yet to score over hurdles or fences for his current yard and comes here having been well below par on last two starts, only tenth in 3m1f Catterick handicap chase in December; lots more is needed after a break. |

Is 0-15 over hurdles but has run well in defeat, including when a 6.5l fourth of 16 on latest over an inadequate 2m3f at Limerick (raised 2lb); stepping up to this trip will suit, good ground is fine and he holds leading claims. |

11th Oct 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 0y |

Won consecutive handicap hurdles in 2024; hit and miss since and one of his best efforts was runner-up at Downpatrick in June; below that twice since and needs a repeat. |
14/1 |

8th 2 |
14th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Out of form this year but his run at Downpatrick in June was a positive when a 1.25l second of nine (2m2f, yielding to soft); didn't build on that at Galway last time when well beaten (2m1f, good); different headgear combination tried but needs to bounce back. |
18/1 |

2nd Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 175y |

Got back on track with a 1.25l second of 9 at Downpatrick (2m2f, yld-sft) last time out off 119; raised 1lb for that but rider's 5lb claim negates that; well beaten in this last year but claims if backing up that last run. |
