25th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Two wins at around 2m4f on good ground include one here a year ago; he did score over 3m in a point in 2022, but two weakening efforts in the spring took his rules record beyond 2m5f to 6664; blinkers go on. |

20th May 2025 Good 2m 3f 189y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
C&D winner who has dropped 3lb below his last winning mark, but modest in two starts since returning in March as when around 40l behind Cloudy Wednesday at Fakenham (3m, good) last month; has undergone wind surgery since then and interesting to see how he fares with a first-time tongue-tie joining the cheekpieces. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Multiple chase winner with plenty of form here, including a runner-up finish in first-time blinkers last week over 2m4f (good); has won over this far. |
7/4 |

2nd 1 |
19th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 189y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Five chase wins, including 2023 edition of this race; pulled up at Fakenham two starts ago but his other three runs this year were very respectable; swaps usual cheekpieces for first-time blinkers; likely to give this a good shot from the front. |
3/1 |

3rd 6 |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
A win and (in this race) a half-length second, each off 2lb lower, to show from two C&D visits (good) last summer; plenty in his favour again once more, though a Fakenham flop latest needs forgiving. |

27th Jul 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |

Three nothing runs have followed since going close over fences at Warwick in March; returns to hurdling with cheekpieces added but he's 5lb out of the weights. |

2nd Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
0-14 under rules; ran big race in defeat at Warwick (2m4f, good) in March, after a layoff, and has good claims if judged on that effort but but two non-completions have followed; others preferred. |

9th May 2025 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
0-10 as a chaser but ran a good race in defeat at Warwick (2m4f, good) before falling early at Southwell; being 3lb out of the weights is not ideal but hard to rule out. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
Rampant in sub-3m good-ground hurdle races and chases last summer, and has the beating of Yippee Ki Yay on a line through Macklin, whom he trounced at Exeter last time (3m, good); still fairly lightly raced over this sort of trip, and drying forecast rates a big plus. |

7th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 54y Class 4 |
12st 6lb |
Bought out of Olly Murphy's yard for £26,000; on the retreat but had run well when falling three out at Taunton in January and was close up behind respected opposition in his latest point; could go well. |

14th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Kicked off for this yard with three wins in handicap chases and added a 2m4f novice hurdle at Worcester; not sure what happened back there last time in a handicap hurdle but it wasn't his true form; does have to carry a penalty. |

24th Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 185y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Overall chase record of 2-16; dug deep to win over a trip just shy of 3m at Lingfield (soft; 5lb lower) and 3m6f on heavy found him out at Exeter a month ago; may prefer softer ground in an ideal world but hard to rule out. |

20th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 6f 153y Class 3 |
10st 4lb |
2-2 on heavy going (one in Britain); first chase win was in France in 2022 and it was his 12th attempt in a British chase when he finally won one at Lingfield (extended 2m7f, soft) last month; back up 5lb for this first appearance beyond 3m1f, so others appear more solid. |

12st 0lb |
Ended last season with two soft-ground wins at Huntingdon (2m4f) and will be fine on the quicker surface here but has been out of form this term (four starts) and needs to turn things around. |

25th Mar 2024 Good To Soft 2m 3f 189y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Opened his chase account at Fontwell (2m2f) last April but he's failed to kick on subsequently, well held in second when unseating 2 out at Plumpton (2m1f) four weeks ago; his mark is slipping but more is needed. |
