Sole win in 14 chase starts came in 2022; creditable runs in the Plate at Cheltenham and the Galway Plate but more recent 3m efforts have been poor; plenty to find. |

Winning hurdler three seasons ago; first two chase runs in the autumn of 2022 were respectable, below best at Gowran later that year; absent since. |

4th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
12st 6lb |
Won a point and a Fakenham hunter chase about this time last year before predictably struggling at lengthy odds in the feature hunter chases at Cheltenham and Aintree; badly let down by his jumping in calmer waters afterwards and this 11yo now has much to prove. |

14th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
12st 8lb |
Won a point and a Fakenham hunter chase in February before making no impact in the big hunter chases at Cheltenham and Aintree (behind when unseating); found no fluency and was well held when falling at Stratford (2m6f, good); comes with risks on the back of that effort but this is a modest contest. |

Four-time winner over hurdles and beaten a nose in a Naas handicap in March; well beaten in a Punchestown handicap hurdle in April; out of his depth in the Galway Hurdle; did not seem to take to chasing last season, soundly beaten in races at Listowel and Gowran; best watched. |

28th Sep 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Winless in more than three years, including in eight starts in Jersey since leaving Fergal O'Brien, for whom he went close off this mark here in March; will find this more competitive. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 50y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Best of three hurdle runs for new stable this season when second of five in soft-ground Leicester seller (2m4f) in December; reverts to this code after going close off his basement Flat mark three weeks ago but others have more compelling claims; first ride under rules for Elizabeth Feakes. |

2nd 8 (2) |
2nd Mar 2026 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
This season's hurdling form for Fergal O'Brien was uninspiring and he was safely held when fourth in C&D classified race on Flat return in January; difficult to enthuse over. |

27th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 45y Class 4 |

Pulled up in both starts since opening his chase account in Hereford contest; still seeking first success above Class 5; cheekpieces added. |

15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Perhaps found out by the 3m6f trip at Exeter and heavy ground wasn't ideal when best efforts have been on good to soft or good; again reservations on that score here, but he was running well prior to last time. |

20th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 6f 153y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
4l winner under Freddie Mitchell at Hereford (extended 3m1f) in January on latest outing but 8lb higher today, including 3lb out of the handicap; also not proven on worse than good to soft (had two attempts on soft) and this sort of trip is something new to him. |
