12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Commenced chase career with two wins; 0-7 since and has failed to back up reappearance effort in a light current campaign; however, this combination of a drop back in class and return to forecast faster ground may prompt a resurgence. |

16th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Won two chases last season and gave good account when third on reappearance outing at Ascot (3m, good) in November; subsequent defeat on heavy ground can probably be overlooked and he'll be dangerous here if the first-time blinkers have any positive effect. |

12th Nov 2024 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Has very modest 1-31 career strike-rate but was clear second to a big improver on last month's seasonal/stable at Uttoxeter (3m, good to soft) and is also suited by this C&D; leading contender. |

15th Nov 2024 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |

Continues to operate some way below the level of early 2023's peak Doncaster hurdles form, placing but still beaten 23l on last month's return to chasing (3m); down another 2lb but not as persuasive as most. |

22nd Mar 2025 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Well treated these days and although he's run only four times since back from an absence, and his latest win, he ran better when runner-up at Wincanton (3m1f, soft; first-time visor, retained) last month; likely to fare better now back on good ground in this lower grade. |

15th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Useful hurdler in his prime and won over fences in 2023 but has been out of form since returning from a layoff in the autumn; wore cheekpieces then blinkers for last two races; visor tried today; revival needed. |

10st 12lb |
Narrow C&D winner on soft last April on sole course start but not yet recaptured form since wind surgery, replacing cheekpieces with blinkers of no help on good ground last month; down the list for now. |

19th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 3m 2f 1y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Won at Bangor last spring off this mark (3m, soft); hasn't been at his best in two runs following wind surgery but there's always a chance that the new blinkers could help matters. |

27th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 45y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Takes on possible improvers in this field; otherwise a solid candidate who has five chase wins on his CV, the most recent off current mark in this race 12 months ago; last two efforts show he's back in form; respected. |
5/1 |

3rd 2 |
11th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Scored for the fifth time over fences when taking a Wetherby handicap (3m, good) just under a year ago; made a solid return in November and he was back down to that last winning mark when bumping into an improver at Southwell (about 3m1f, soft) three weeks ago; contender. |

2nd 3 |
18th Feb 2026 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Scored for the fifth time over fences when taking a Wetherby handicap (3m, good) in March; back down to that mark but his last two efforts have been uninspiring; needs a revival but that's not out of the question. |

Not much went to plan on his three starts for for Warren Greatrex in the spring but he looked in excellent nick when winning easily by 8l at Stratford (2m6f, good) last month; likely contender off 10lb higher mark here. |

25th Jan 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
French hurdle winner in 2023; 0-9 in Britain, showing little when pulled up over fences at Exeter (blinkered first time) on debut for David Pipe on New Year's Day; needs the switch back to hurdling to have a positive effect. |

French hurdle winner in 2023; 0-8 in Britain for Laura Morgan and signed off for her with very disappointing chase run in October but was given a wind op the following month and starts off for David Pipe on a tempting mark; sports first-time blinkers and refitted tongue-tie; interesting. |
