14th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Completed a hat-trick at around 3m in February/March 2025 but not seen again until refusing to race when a 20-1 shot at Kelso 24 days ago; can only watch after that. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 96y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
In excellent form in February/March 2025, winning three in a row at around 3m (good to soft/good), but has fitness to prove after 393-day absence and will need to hit the ground running to have any chance off current mark. |

14th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Didn't achieve much when remote second on hurdle debut in the autumn, and the form of last month's fifth of seven at Musselburgh (3m, soft) isn't anything to get too excited about either; that said, he's open to significant improvement on today's chase/handicap debut. |

Beaten over 40l all three starts, including when second of five on hurdling debut at Southwell (3m, good to firm); needs to improve for the fitting of a tongue-strap. |

1st Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Well beaten in his three maiden/novice hurdles (2m-3m) and down the field on handicap debut at Hexham (2m, soft) four weeks ago; lots of improvement is needed now back up in trip in first-time cheekpieces. |

27th Sep 2022 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Built upon promising hurdling debut when drawing clear to win Worcester maiden (2m7f, good) last month; open to significant further improvement but has a fair bit to find with Red Happy here. |

15th Jan 2023 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Formerly useful on the Flat for Mark Johnston but was very much emerging from the doldrums when winning over hurdles here last month; not so hot back on the Flat three weeks ago. |

26th Dec 2022 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Formerly useful on the Flat for Mark Johnston, but was very much emerging from the doldrums when winning over hurdles at Southwell 15 days ago; comes with risks attached, but is on a good mark if that latest success signals a general return to form. |
6/1 |

11th Dec 2022 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
travelled strongly, in touch with leaders, went third before 5th, went second and going best 2 out, shaken up and led approaching last, kept on, ridden out (trainer's rep said, regarding the apparent improvement in form, that gelding had come back into form on the Flat where he has run four times since his last hurdles run and appeared to transfer that improvement back over hurdles) |
