17th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Below par on last three starts, most recently at Uttoxeter last month following wind surgery; however, he won off this mark on his reappearance at Aintree in November and first-time cheekpieces might give him a boost; in top hands and not written off. |

Has switched to chasing this term, winning on reappearance but disappointing in two subsequent starts; had wind surgery since latest; may rebound, having won over hurdles on this card last year. |

11st 7lb |
Lightly raced 8yo who rallied to lead close home on seasonal/chase debut at Aintree (3m1f, good to soft) in November; well below that form after racing too freely last month but Dan Skelton is evidently very keen to move him up in trip. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Made all off today's mark over C&D (good) in spring 2024 and ran well in defeat over C&D this April; sure to be suited by the return to this track but has quite a bit to prove after three disappointing efforts. |
8/1 |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Gained sole success over 3m so may not be crying out for this drop back in distance and he has a question mark over current form anyway; cheekpieces added. |

17th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Ran poorly on chasing debut at Southwell and needs to bounce back from that but was clear second over hurdles there (3m, good) two starts ago and is a big player if judged on that performance. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Matched his previous best when beaten 17l in fourth at Lingfield (about 2m3f, good to soft) in November but pulled up then last (first-time visor) in two subsequent outings; cheekpieces now given a whirl and might come on for latest outing; 6lb 'wrong', though. |

Ran well for a long way when fourth on seasonal debut at Lingfield (2m3f, good to soft) in November but was pulled up over that C&D the following month and is now 0-10 over hurdles; swaps blinkers for first-time visor here; 5lb wrong; others look much more likely. |

17th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 3f 137y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Showed a bit in three good-ground bumpers before getting stuck in the mud when the tongue-tie joined a hood on hurdling debut at Lingfield (2m3f, heavy; 18-1); could do with settling down having raced keenly thus far. |

22nd Feb 2024 Soft 2m 3f 110y Class 4 |

No closer than 12l behind the winner in his three bumpers, all of them on good ground; hood sported the last twice is joined by a tongue-tie now making hurdling debut after eight months off. |

Both runs over C&D; third on debut a year ago (for Ian Williams) but well beaten on last month's stable debut; needs to leave that behind. |

31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Sole win was an AW Flat race in 2022; easily his best show in eight appearances over hurdles was on latest start when second of six in handicap at Fontwell (near 2m6f, good) in June, giving some encouragement for this trip but he's now 4lb out of the handicap. |

10th Jun 2025 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Arguably ran a bit better than eventual 24l defeat suggests when sixth here (3m2f, good; Trevor's Lad close second) last month and may benefit from today's drop back in trip but, overall, his hurdling record is poor. |
25/1 |

25th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Struggled over hurdles in the 2023-24 season and, following a layoff, was pulled up at Plumpton (3m1f, good) this month; might have needed that outing and remains unexposed over this sort of trip but is not easily recommended from 8lb out of the weights. |

This 9yo has raced seven times under rules for three different yards; completed for the first time for this one (including pulled up on chase debut) when fifth in 2m2f Plumpton handicap hurdle 19 days ago but it wasn't a performance which makes him of obvious interest. |

Ran quite well when sixth at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good) for Adam West last summer and had excuse when well beaten on subsequent Flat starts (struck into), but this stable debut comes after a ten-month absence. |
