C&D and 2m4f course winner on slow ground; has shown on his last three starts that he is competitive on this mark; each-way player. |

Has rediscovered some form on last two outings, more recently when clear second at Hexham (2m, heavy) last month, and remains well handicapped on past exploits but some of the others appeal more all the same. |

27th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Record of 2-4 since switched to hunter chases in January and he ran well to finish six of 24 in the Foxhunters' at Aintree (2m5f) last month; on career-high mark back in a handicap but he hasn't been far off his best this year and he has won over 3m1f in the past; respected. |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Won on his first hunter chase start at Hereford (2m5f, soft) in January and bounced back from a heavy defeat behind Golden Son at Taunton (2m7f, heavy) to win at Leicester (2m, good to soft) last month; however, he needs a clear career best if he's to win this. |

6th Mar 2026 Soft 1m 7f 201y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Made a bright start to hunter chases when beating Stattler (subsequent winner) at Hereford (2m5f, soft) in January and, although well beaten at Taunton (2m7f) when trying to match strides with Golden Son last month, he likely continues in form; leading contender dropped back to 2m for the first time, with fewer questions to answer than most. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Back to form a little out of the blue to take advantage of a reduced mark over C&D (good) under Gregor Walkinshaw three weeks ago; remains well treated on old form (won 2024 Edinburgh National off 11lb higher) but not sure to be in the same mood again based on his recent record. |

Both wins have been at Musselburgh, latest a 3m7f handicap chase in February 2024 (good to soft); struggled to win since, but is well handicapped. |

Losing spell goes back to his success in the Edinburgh National two years ago and current mark reflects a decline in his form; not sure to repeat his autumn C&D effort (neck second). |

Lost his way over hurdles and fences after winning a Warwick maiden hurdle in March 2023 for Charlie Longsdon; has yet to produce an effort of note in this discipline (0-3) but on a good mark if new connections can get him back on track; tries a tongue-tie. |

20th Jul 2024 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Made the frame in two Irish maiden hurdles in 2021 but lightly raced and generally very disappointing for Alison Hamilton in recent years; proved he retains a modicum of ability when sixth at huge odds in recent Perth maiden (2m4f, good) but still makes only limited appeal here. |

Showed clear promise over hurdles in Ireland in 2021 but he has form figures of PPP0P for current yard and those last three runs were in handicaps; returns after another absence and can only be watched back in a maiden; tongue-tie reapplied. |
