5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Two wins and a second from five starts since April but he's not the easiest to predict and there have also been a couple of heavy defeats, including when coming home 65l adrift at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last time; will need to be on a going day. |

27th Jul 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Heavy-ground winner here in late 2023 and this year has added two Bangor handicaps on good to soft and good; only 4lb higher than for the latest (by a length) and the front two were clear. |
7/2 |
|
1st 3 |
4th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Scored over 2m3f here (good to soft) in April and was close second at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) the following month; disappointed when last in action but, if back on song, could plausibly have untapped potential over today's longer trip. |

4th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Placed on last two starts, though was some 23l and 11l behind the winners (tried a visor last time); still needs a second look with him back in some sort of form and he goes well in the mud. |

10th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |

2-14 over hurdles; suited by this C&D but absent since a below-par run in April and others in this line-up have much more potential. |

9th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Did well to be beaten 10l at Worcester (2m4f handicap debut; good) given he refused to settle and perhaps the ground was too soft at Uttoxeter; remains of interest. |
8/1 |
|
8th 11 |
17th Jul 2024 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Happier for the step up to 2m4f on last month's Worcester handicap debut (good), keeping on late despite initial refusal to settle; grounds to expect better and 2lb drop is most welcome; remains of interest. |

4th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Gained all three hurdle wins at Ludlow; kept on for second behind progressive rival there (2m, good) last month, after a break, but may not be ideally suited by this switch to a left-handed track. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 5 |
10th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Suited by good ground; proved resurgent when last seen five months ago, enhancing a strong C&D record that also features wins (off 2lb lower) in this race in 2023 and 2025 (faller in 2024); very solid claims kept to this scenario. |
9/2 |

23rd Oct 2025 Soft 1m 2f 50y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Hurdle win in May (2m, good); poor form on the Flat since August, failing to progress for handicaps on last two starts; should benefit from the step up in trip and he has run well on soft going over hurdles; risky but there are grounds for expecting better dropped in class. |

3rd Oct 2024 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |

0-10 and aside from his third at Bangor (2m3f, good) in June, there has been little to enthuse over. |

23rd Sep 2024 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |

No threat to the front two when third at Bangor in June (2m3f, good) and then tailed off at Worcester; remains a maiden and needs to find extra. |

26th Jun 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Placed for first time in seven-race hurdling career when keeping-on third at Bangor (2m3f, good) this month but was no threat to the front pair there and needs to make further progress here. |

Rewarded very patient Gavin Sheehan ride when winning here (2m3f, good to soft) last month but has a very mixed record this year and her current mark probably demands a career-best performance. |

9th Apr 2025 Good To Firm 2m 7f 3y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
2-19 over fences, his second success coming at Huntingdon in November 2021; has been struggling for a while and the combination of market support, Sean Bowen and a career-low mark failed to spark a revival last time; dropped another 2lb and the blinkers replace other headgear. |

11st 1lb |
Three good-ground wins at up to 3m2f during a profitable 2025, all off at least 9lb lower; yet to defy a break in excess of 45 days, so absence since January cannot rate a plus. |

14th Jan 2026 Good 3m 0f 57y Class 4 |

Ran creditably at Hereford (3m1f) last time, bouncing back from two poor efforts, but this looks a tougher assignment; still seeking first handicap success above Class 5. |
20/1 |

11th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Dual hurdle winner on good ground this summer (2m7f/3m2f); last month's chasing defeat is probably best overlooked (didn't jump well enough) but he has high mileage for his age and might be vulnerable in this grade. |

Seemingly boosted by addition of visor when clearcut C&D (good) winner in June but has not been in the same form again since, the last twice with usual cheekpieces refitted; visor back on today; needs to up his game. |

24th Sep 2024 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 4 |
