27th Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Lightly raced for his age and was seemingly boosted by new cheekpieces when runner-up twice on good ground in the spring (2m7f/3m1f); should cope if there's rain about but we haven't seen him since a disappointing run in May; tongue-tie added. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 125y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Most consistent since chasing debut, twice making the frame over C&D (good to soft/soft) and again running creditably when a close third of six at Wincanton (3m1f, heavy); hard to knock and should be thereabouts again. |
4/1 |

3rd 1 |
14th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Won two C&D handicaps (soft/good to soft) early last year and the first leg was in this race; two creditable frame efforts in Class 2 events at Haydock this season and he may have paid the price for getting involved in a duel with a major improver last time; still unexposed over fences and he's an interesting contender on this big drop back in grade. |
9/4 |

6th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 30y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Point and maiden hurdle winner (good to soft) who bounced back from chase debut flop to win by 6l over C&D (soft) last month; a 5lb rise may not stop this unexposed 7yo today. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Won in July off 7lb higher (3m, good; first-time tongue-tie) but hasn't approached level in his subsequent races; not easily trusted. |

20th Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
4lb below his winning mark and the fourth over C&D in July was more encouraging; brought down mid-race at Uttoxeter latest. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Returned from layoff with two poor performances last month but his fourth behind Red Panda at Worcester (2m7f, good) three weeks ago was much more encouraging and he's now 4lb lower than for last year's 3m Perth win; big player if first-time cheekpieces help him to build on that recent effort. |

27th Mar 2025 Good 3m 2f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Clearcut winner of his second handicap start (3m, good to soft) and a tongue-tie is now added after reportedly making a noise back at Taunton last time; 6lb higher than for his win but firmly enters the reckoning. |

Favourite in ten-runner contest over C&D (good to soft) in November for his second handicap and registered a clearcut win, responding well to lead between the last two flights; up 6lb but looks the type to improve further. |

Soundly beaten in Plumpton maiden on recent stable debut but looked quite promising when keeping-on third in Ffos Las novice (2m4f, good) for Jeremy Scott last spring and has plenty of scope for improvement in handicaps. |
