13th Feb 2023 Good 2m 0f 214y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Five chase wins, the latest off 1lb lower at Worcester (2m, good) last summer; ended last year with two very laboured efforts but combination of better ground and ease in grade may enable him to get more competitive here; cheekpieces (left off last time) are back on. |
12/1 |

20th Dec 2022 Good To Soft 1m 7f 212y Class 2 |
10st 5lb |
Didn't lead as usual when ultimately pulled up at Kempton last month; did win his previous chase start at Worcester in August (2m, good) off 4lb lower but just three ran that day and, with competition for the lead seemingly assured, he'll do well to win this. |

18th Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Not far away in a 2m4f handicap chase at Uttoxeter after a long absence but has gone backwards since then; blinkers go on for cheekpieces. |

30th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Returned from a very long absence with creditable fourth in stronger race than this at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in July and has good claims if judged on that performance but two disappointing runs have followed; needs to rebound. |

2nd Jul 2024 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
2lb above his highest winning mark, but goes well here and his recent fourth over 2m4f here was respectable; probably needs more for the win off his current mark but should figure prominently. |

15th Jan 2024 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Six-time chase winner; enjoys good ground but recent form has been thoroughly underwhelming. |
33/1 |

30th Nov 2023 Good 2m 2f 40y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Six-time chase winner; will be suited by the forecast good ground here but has not been firing on all cylinders this year (albeit runner-up twice), and his latest run was very disappointing. |
16/1 |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Best effort this term when second in this grade at Market Rasen (2m7f, good) on penultimate start; on last winning mark so holds a fighting chance from a handicapping perspective. |
8/1 |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 3 |
10st 9lb |
Well handicapped and looked booked for a return to winning ways at Market Rasen (2m7f, good) until reeled in late on; strongly considered on the back of that effort. |
3/1 |

2nd 7 |
16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Back on same mark as Kempton win in May 2024 (3m, good); likely to be all the better for his latest run (first for 290 days); interesting. |
