2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Well held over hurdles in last three runs but he's won plenty under both codes including three over C&D; still 3lb higher than for his win here last June but he needs watching in market back on the Flat; effective on good/good to firm but most of his wins have come on slow ground. |

14th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Won plenty under both codes, including over C&D, and has slid to an attractive mark; this is less competitive than the races he's been contesting of late and he's one of the likelier winners back up in trip. |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Five-time hurdle winner who returned to form with clear second at Leicester (1m7f, heavy) in December; only seventh of 12 at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) but didn't run badly and he's not discounted. |

30th Sep 2023 Soft 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
9st 6lb |
Multiple winner over jumps and on AW; respectable sixth of eight in 2m Goodwood handicap (good) 25 days ago but it underlines he needs more from his mark. |

6th 1 (2) |
5th Sep 2023 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Multiple winner over jumps and on AW; failed to show his form in last two appearances (Flat/hurdle); close second off 2lb higher in this race last year and has a fighting chance if back in the same form. |
14/1 |

9th Jun 2023 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 2 |
11st 12lb |
Hasn't been seen over hurdles since Boxing Day 2021 but has since developed into a smart Flat performer, gaining a fourth success (all on AW) at Wolverhampton in March (RPR 105); fascinating contender. |

5th Jan 2024 Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Useful Flat-racer at his best; yet to fully transfer that ability to hurdles but he was a fair second behind an easy Irish-trained winner at Bangor (2m, heavy) three weeks ago and may still have more to offer in this code. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 2 |
15th Dec 2023 Heavy 2m 0f 145y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Useful Flat-racer at his best; yet to build upon last winter's quite promising hurdling debut but, following a break, ran well to a point on recent handicap debut at Sedgefield (2m1f, soft); sports first-time blinkers here and has possibilities if that recent outing brought him on. |
4/1 |

28th Nov 2023 Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Five wins at up to 2m on the Flat for Hughie Morrison and his final appearance was under that code when tailed off in the consolation race for the Chester Cup in May; had shown some ability over hurdles before then and now makes his handicap hurdle debut in a modest race. |

24th Sep 2022 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
raced freely, towards rear, pushed along 4f out, ridden over 2f out, steady headway from 2f out, kept on strongly inside final furlong, never dangerous |

4th 2 (4) |
6th Sep 2022 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 13lb |
held up in rear, going okay 4f out, pushed along over 3f out, ridden and outpaced over 2f out, kept on but no impression from over 1f out |

17th Aug 2022 Good To Firm 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Usually seen over shorter but has one good piece of 2m form (2020); 9yo who has won three Group 3s, the latest in 2019; bottom line seems to be that there's been no win since, so others are preferred despite him still often finishing on the premises, including last time out. |

22nd Oct 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 2 |
9st 5lb |
Last two wins came over an extended 2m4f at Goodwood and he may still need this given he was returning from over a year off when well beaten at Newmarket last time; yard could hardly be in better form, though. |

20th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Well beaten in this race three years ago and then went missing for 640 days; confined to four races in 2024, easily the best of them his defeat of 17 rivals over 2m4f at Glorious Goodwood (4lb lower); fully entitled to need this after another long absence. |

14th Jul 2023 Good To Firm 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 13lb |
Best on good or good to firm; 1lb lower than when winning over 2m at Ascot last August; comparable form when third this May and not disgraced in his two top handicaps since; however, he does not appear the percentage call and perhaps it's clutching at straws that a new jockey (as he has in today's race) has coincided with most of his wins. |
