Returned from latest wind op with pretty good second at Southwell (3m, good) in June but has not been firing on all cylinders since; behind two of today's rivals when sixth at Hereford (3m1f, good) three weeks ago and needs to up his game. |

17th Jul 2024 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Point winner (3m maiden); 0-29 under rules; runner-up to today's rival Barrakhov over 3m here (good) last month; raised 4lb since, albeit is 1lb better off with Barrakhov; fair chance. |
5/1 |

2nd 7 |
15th Jun 2024 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Won maiden point in March and returns to racing under rules after going close in restricted race last month; has 0-20 strike-rate in chases but is very well handicapped on old form and versatile regarding ground. |

23rd Mar 2023 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
27-race maiden who was unable to land a significant blow at Ffos Las (3m, good) this month; ought to cope with today's slower ground but needs a significant boost from the change of headgear. |

6th Mar 2026 Soft 1m 7f 201y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
2023 maiden point winner who has yet to add to that success, though has shown ability over hurdles and fences; pulled up on last month's return from a long absence and although entitled to have come on for the outing, a career best will be needed to figure here. |
50/1 |

31st May 2024 Good To Soft 2m 0f 213y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Not seen under rules since well beaten in low-grade Lingfield handicap in November and was pulled up in a restricted point last month. |

30th Nov 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Made it 0-14 under rules when an early faller at Fakenham last Tuesday; however, he's operating off a much-reduced mark and showed spark when winning a point in April; possible contender. |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Now only 1lb higher than when winning at Huntingdon (3m1f, good to soft; also suited by good) in November but has become inconsistent and was pulled up on latest outing seven weeks ago; not easy to predict. |
8/1 |

6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
5-27 over hurdles, the latest win gained at Huntingdon (extended 3m1f, good to soft; 2lb higher today) in November; has a shout on that showing but there have been backward steps in his two starts since. |
5/1 |

4th 3 |
15th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
5-26 over hurdles, the latest win gained at Huntingdon (3m1f, good to soft) in November; not in same form when third of four at Fakenham (2m7f, good to soft) last month and may not have much margin for error off current mark but still enters calculations. |

26th Dec 2022 Good To Soft 3m 1f 10y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
In good form last winter, including a win in a 2m2f handicap at Exeter; three non-completions this season and, although the return to hurdling can help after chases on last two starts, others look more persuasive. |
