In front before penultimate-fence fall on chasing debut at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) in June 2022 and, following a long absence, was in front before penultimate-fence unseat at Huntingdon (2m7f, good) in April; has obvious claims if he can complete the course here. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 136y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Low-mileage maiden who's been second or third in handicaps on all three chase outings, absent 590 days after first of those; rallied strongly when third of seven at Leicester (2m7f, soft) one month ago, which suggests that this step back up in trip is very much in order; one to consider. |

Returned from long absence with a promising stable debut at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in March, when he travelled strongly for a long way, and he was unlucky to be brought down fairly early on at Hexham this month; remains well handicapped on old form; might be the answer. |

Pulled up on a couple of occasions earlier this year (hurdle and a chase) and only slightly better over fences at Worcester (2m7f) the last twice; easing mark, but no obvious reason why he can make it 10th-time lucky. |

Well beaten in three handicap hurdles during the winter (1m7f-2m5f) and also in two handicap chases this spring (2m5f/2m7f), latterly with today's headgear combination added; big leap of faith needed to support him. |

Won two 3m chases at Ffos Las (good to firm/good) at around this time last year, the latter by 36l off today's mark, but was well beaten (albeit on slower-than-ideal ground) on recent reappearance outing and needs to have taken significant benefit from that run. |

Two 3m wins at Ffos Las (good/good to firm) last spring but has mixed record in his last four runs and was pulled up over C&D when last seen in October; bit to prove on his return but yard is in good form and he's well handicapped if he can get back near best. |

Generally solid for this yard, winning his latest two races on officially good ground, at 2m5f and 2m3f, just prevailing over a well-treated one here latterly; up in trip but the first win was on Carlisle's stiff track so he could stay this far; considered. |

13th Jun 2025 Good 2m 3f 34y Class 5 |

Gentle progression this spring culminated in April's Carlisle win (2m5f, good), and possible excuses both starts since (boiled over; 2m1f too sharp); no RPR better than 91 when there's been give in the ground. |

Came good for Sam England at third attempt, readily winning Carlisle chase (2m5f, good) by over 8l last month, and reportedly boiled over in the preliminaries before this month's poor run at Hexham; can be dangerous if back on song for this return to hurdling. |
