25th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 71y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Three wins in early part of last year, including quite valuable final of this Brindisi Breeze series at Musselburgh (3m, soft); back on a good mark now but has largely been disappointing this season and needs to up his game. |

Won three slow-ground handicaps early last year from 2m4f to 3m; had wind surgery following a slow start to this campaign and has dropped to a useful mark. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 25y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Another C&D winner (November) but could have run a lot better on last two outings, latterly only five days ago when tried in a visor; the blinkers return but this is a quick turnaround. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 137y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Much better could have been expected at Hereford (3m1f, good to soft) in December last time but he won here (2m7f, good to soft) in November and it will be no surprise if he bounces back with a good run now back here in a first-time visor (replacing blinkers). |

23rd Sep 2025 Good 3m 2f 0y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Returned from layoff with 3m2f win at Fontwell (good) last autumn and was also in good form when last seen in the spring; swaps cheekpieces for first-time blinkers on this reappearance outing; major player if fully tuned up after latest break. |

15th May 2024 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Lightly raced since winning stable/chase debut at Fontwell (3m2f, good) in March 2022 and returned from layoff with two heavy defeats on slow ground towards end of last season (hurdle/chase); however, drying ground ought to be very much in his favour today; interesting. |

30th May 2026 Good To Firm 3m 3f 119y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Landed his fourth win over fences, at Market Rasen (3m, good) last month but below his best at Fontwell since; is the type to bounce back and he should get the trip (has won over 3m2f). |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Progressive 7yo who has form figures of 1221141 over fences since September; only two completed when he scored at Market Rasen (3m, good) 19 days ago but he still looks on a workable mark and his first chase win was over C&D; strongly respected. |
7/2 |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
In excellent form on good ground in the autumn, winning three times over fences (3m1f-3m2f); well behind Dangerous Touch when reappearing in four-runner race at Huntingdon last month but might have needed that outing and his usual cheekpieces are refitted here. |
