22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 20y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Soundly beaten on last two starts but those were Class 2 contests at Cheltenham and Kempton and this is a drop back in grade; this lightly raced 7yo had previously made a promising start to his chasing career, including a 2m4f win at Kempton, and he remains one to be interested in. |

14th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 110y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Encouraging chase debut at Exeter then a convincing if narrow C&D win (good; has won on soft) in November, sealing the race between the last two; much lesser run at Cheltenham since (well behind Califet En Vol); may do much better back here. |

24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Ridden out to win the novice handicap chase at Kempton (2m4f, good) on Boxing Day, building on his promising reappearance effort; appears to handle soft ground; this low-mileage 7yo looks likely to improve further over fences; enters calculations. |

7th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 0f 145y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Stayed on well to go close in a soft-ground bumper at Southwell and the ground was heavy when below that level at Ffos Las in another bumper won by Potters Charm; out of a half-sister to Un De Sceaux and remains promising. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 34y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Not an instant success over fences this season but cheekpieces seem to have helped lately and he won by 5l off a reduced mark here (2m1f, good to soft) last month; moves up in grade today but should be fine over the longer trip and might use that recent success as a springboard. |

15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |

12-race maiden; ran his best race over fences when third to a subsequent winner at Ludlow last time (2m, soft; first-time cheekpieces); headgear retained; a possible. |

3rd 1 |
18th Feb 2026 1m 7f 212y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Lightly raced 8yo; dropped to 2m1f from 2m4f he ran better to be beaten about 12l at Market Rasen (2m1f, soft) a month ago; down 3lb with cheekpieces fitted and more appealing than a good many. |

1st Nov 2025 Good 2m 3f 85y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Not obviously well treated judged on what he produced in his two handicap hurdles in the spring but this point runner-up and novice hurdle winner (2m, good) represents a trainer who has a much better strike-rate with chasers than hurdlers; possible improver now going over fences. |

Pulled up in an Irish point; 10l-second in a slowly run four-runner Bangor bumper on rules debut and subsequently bought for 10,500gns; more needed on stable debut. |

18th Apr 2026 Good 1m 0f 75y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Not the easiest and plenty of short-priced defeats to his name but he won at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month and was a creditable third in another classified event at Lingfield (1m2f) three weeks ago; remains unexposed on turf and he needs a close look back in this sphere. |

3rd 1 (6) |
25th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Not the easiest and plenty of short-priced defeats to his name but justified good support when under Billy Loughnane for the first time at Wolverhampton (4-7 for the yard) last Monday; has only run once on Polytrack but will rightly be popular under a penalty. |
