6th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 14y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Has won four chases, the latest off 1lb lower at Hexham last June (1m7f, good); good second following a break at Newcastle last time (2m4f, good); should go well again. |

11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 19y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Won off this mark at Hexham (2m, good; in added blinkers) last June; that was in a lower-grade contest (Class 4) and his productivity ebbed away thereafter (0-5; hurdles and fences); bit to prove off a 190-day absence; likely to draw benefit from this comeback run. |

31st May 2026 Good 1m 4f 8y Class 4 |

Consistent last July-September and nicely treated on that form; however, she hasn't been at the same level on her two outings this year. |

3rd May 2026 Good 1m 3f 15y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Made the frame four consecutive times last July-September (1m3f-2m), but made a low-key reappearance last week and is probably better suited by a stiffer test of stamina than this now. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 1m 4f 23y Class 5 |

Ended last season with a spell of consistent efforts and has frame possibilities provided she returns in similar form; whether she can end a losing spell is another matter (no win since 2023). |

Yet to win after nine attempts over hurdles and could do with settling better, which was again evident when pulled up last time over 2m3f; not at all badly treated on his placed efforts should he give himself a chance. |

8th Oct 2024 Good 2m 3f 137y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Yet to win after eight attempts over hurdles but frequently placed and made a most encouraging return from a long absence when a staying-on third at Fontwell (2m5f, good) in August; has been given plenty of time to get over that run and he's one of the likelier ones off the same mark back down in distance. |

Did not get competitive at Market Rasen this month, after a break, but was placed off a 7lb higher mark there (2m2f, good) in the autumn and has possibilities if that recent run brought him on. |

Dual winner over 1m4f at Leicester last summer; didn't really take to hurdling in the autumn and is yet to hit top gear since returned to the Flat in May but his recent Nottingham fourth (1m6f, good) was a good step back in the right direction. |

27th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 1m 3f 0y Class 5 |

Two wins over 1m4f at Leicester (good to firm/good to soft) last summer; didn't really take to hurdles in the autumn and had excuses when tailed off on last month's Doncaster return, but is still 4lb above his last winning mark so he needs to find a bit more; cheekpieces return. |
