23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 20y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
Good second at Sandown (1m7f, soft) in January and ran well before fading into 14 third at Ayr (2m4f, soft) last month; however, his best form has come on soft/heavy ground and such conditions seem unlikely today. |

11st 11lb |
Predictably struggled in Grade 1 Ascot Chase three weeks ago but looked as good as ever when second in good Sandown handicap (1m7f, soft) two starts ago and will be fine over today's trip; good chance. |

20th Jul 2025 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Won 2m maiden hurdle in March 2024 but an unknown quantity now, having been pulled up in two hurdle runs either side of three non-completions in points; now has a go in headgear. |

14th May 2025 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Returns to rules action on the back of three non-completions in points but he has been competitive off this mark in the past and still only a 7yo; could be a surprise package after changing yards. |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
2m6f winner at Stratford last October; another good run to be fourth at Ludlow in January (2m4f) but bit below that level since, last time sent to France. |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Made all to open account at Stratford (2m6f, good to soft) in October, his eighth chase, and has performed well off today's mark on both subsequent outings (2m4f, soft/good to soft); up in grade today but still enters calculations. |
6/1 |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Made all to open account at Stratford (2m6f, good to soft) in October, his eighth chase, and also ran well when second to very progressive rival at Warwick (2m4f, soft) the following month; had wind op during 57-day break; can give this a good shot. |

6th Nov 2024 Good 2m 0f 11y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Dual hurdle winner in France in 2022; very disappointing over hurdles in Britain (four starts) but had wind surgery during six-month break and may yet come good for Venetia Williams; hooded for British chase debut. |

11st 11lb |
Two hurdle wins (2m1f, heavy/good) in France in 2022 but, after a long absence, he's struggled in three runs for new yard since December; dropped another 5lb but he has plenty to prove. |
