9th Dec 2022 Good 3m 1f 56y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Dual hurdle winner and has made a solid start over fences this season in winning two 3m northern handicaps on soft ground, both fairly decisively; being 4lb wrong here means he's 12lb higher than at Ayr, but he's very much going the right way; all his improvement has come on soft/heavy ground; stable won this last year with their Cheltenham Festival hero Corach Rambler. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
No longer the force of old and very inconsistent nowadays but battled well for narrow C&D (soft) win over Judicial Review last month, his fifth course success; also suited by good ground and recent 4lb rise is manageable if he's in the right mood again. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Four course wins, the latest over C&D in summer 2023; very much on the downgrade now, though, and never really looked dangerous when plugging on for modest third here (3m1f, good) on Saturday. |

25th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 71y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Three wins in early part of last year, including quite valuable final of this Brindisi Breeze series at Musselburgh (3m, soft); back on a good mark now but has largely been disappointing this season and needs to up his game. |

Won three slow-ground handicaps early last year from 2m4f to 3m; had wind surgery following a slow start to this campaign and has dropped to a useful mark. |

11st 6lb |
Runner-up a few times (point/hurdles); however, not in much form in two outings (chase/hurdle) this season; subsequently had a second wind surgery, which needs to prompt a revival. |

15th Nov 2022 Good To Soft 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Runner-up in a couple of maiden hurdles (2m4f-3m; Ludlow and Sedgefield) either side of wind surgery; fluffed his lines on rules chasing debut at Hexham (3m, soft; 11-4); switches back to the smaller obstacles for handicap (hurdles) debut. |
