27th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 5f 82y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
His last three wins have been over fences but he's a four-time hurdle winner who can deal with this mark if ready to go after his absence; seems fine on all ground. |
14/1 |

20th Nov 2023 Soft 2m 4f 114y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Last three wins have been over fences but it was over C&D when beaten 3l two weeks ago (good to soft), having fared best of those held up; considered. |

6th Nov 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 114y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Seemingly back in good form when second at Worcester (2m4f, good to soft) in August but didn't fire at Sedgefield last month and he's probably best suited by good ground (albeit has won on heavy). |

29th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Badly out of form over fences and on the Flat for the Flint stable this year, and was well beaten in 2m4f Warwick chase for new trainer on Tuesday; needs combination of return to hurdling and refitted cheekpieces to rekindle his enthusiasm. |
16/1 |

23rd Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Two-time chase winner but last success in this sphere was in 2022 and he's deteriorated considerably since; has switched yards since his last run and is well treated if new trainer can get a tune out of him. |
20/1 |

31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Two-time chase winner who won off this mark over hurdles here last July; however, he's been well beaten over fences and on the Flat on his four outings this year and needs a major turnaround. |

7th Jan 2023 Soft 3m 1f 30y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
His narrow defeat at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) in June offers hope but precious little to shout about since; tongue-tie is a first. |
33/1 |

10th Nov 2022 Good 2m 7f 3y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Fell early when well out of the weights in a three-runner handicap the last time and they were novice chases in which he struggled before that (remote thirds); his narrow defeat at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) in June offers hope. |
25/1 |
