4th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 5y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
A three-time winner over fences and yet has shown nothing in his last three chase starts; has won over hurdles but returns from a break with much to prove. |

9th Jun 2025 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Made it 3-9 over fences with a ready success over 3m2f at Fontwell; up 6lb but has been competitive off higher marks in the past. |

7th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Won back-to-back handicaps two winters ago, over 2m3f at Plumpton and 2m5f here; goes well on softer but the ground was good when not beaten far over 2m5f here last time; there are some stamina reservations over this far. |

25th Jun 2024 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
This was the trip for his Taunton win in April (good) and he might have even surpassed that form with his recent seconds over C&D; has the same mark as last time and should have a big say. |
9/2 |

2nd 3 |
5th Jun 2024 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Good second over C&D 16 days ago ridden by Freddie Gingell, keeping on well; could prove vulnerable for the win back up 3lb but with his chase experience he's likely to be thereabouts. |

23rd Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Signed off for Gary and Josh Moore with clear second to very progressive rival at Fontwell (2m1f, good to soft) last month and has good claims if judged on that performance but he's far too inconsistent to rely upon, and was tailed off on the Flat for new stable this month; headgear switched. |

8th 6 (6) |
6th Jun 2024 Good 1m 4f 15y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Hasn't run on the Flat for nearly two years but is fit from jumping and returned to form at Fontwell last month; picked up since from the Moores for 7,000gns and interesting to see what he can do back in this sphere. |
12/1 |

2nd 9 |
16th May 2024 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Last month's C&D fifth (16l ahead of Ray's The One, but beaten 16l himself) represented only a partial return to form; unconvincing on balance, for all a mark 4lb below his last winning one makes appeal. |

7th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Three places before stopping quickly and pulling up at Newton Abbot (3m2f, heavy; handles that ground) last time and his jumping wasn't the best; not overly appealing from 5lb out of the weights. |
