7th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Well handicapped on old form but has not really fired on any of three starts since returning from a long absence this season; getting away from heavy ground might aid his cause but he still has a fair bit to prove. |

6th Feb 2025 Heavy 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Won two 3m chases (one on soft here) in 2022-23 season but absent 614 days before two low-key runs this term, way behind the front two when he took third on heavy ground at this track last time. |

25th Nov 2023 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
0-7 over hurdles as opposed to 3-12 in chases, and he hasn't been at his best over fences on his last three starts; however, he ran well for a fair way at Sedgefield (3m3f) last month in a race he won last year, and that was his first start since May; has a lower hurdle mark and is not discounted. |

30th May 2024 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Bumper, hurdle and chase winner at up to 2m5f, on good or slower; 6lb lower than his last win but has come close to that form only once in four starts since a lengthy layoff; blinkers go on. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Runner-up over hurdles here (2m4f, good; first-time blinkers) on latest rules start last June and competes off a 10lb lower mark today, but his chasing strike-rate is 0-11 and this year's point form is uninspiring. |
8/1 |

2nd 1 |
1st Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Hasn't been pulling up any trees in his recent chases following a lengthy absence but he is 2-6 over hurdles and well handicapped should the new blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) have some impact. |

30th Sep 2025 Good 2m 5f 28y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Won three times over 3m2f here (always on good ground) during productive campaign last season; needs career-best performance to overcome this rise in grade but returns here after respectable fourth over today's trip at Cartmel (good) last month. |
9/2 |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Ended last season with two hard-fought wins at Sedgefield (3m2f, good) and arguably ran better than bare form suggests when well-held fourth at Bangor (3m, good) in June but current mark demands a career-best performance and today's drop back in trip may not be ideal. |
12/1 |

4th 5 |
21st Jun 2025 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Thriving over Sedgefield's extended 3m2f latterly, needing every yard of it last time (good) in order to complete a double; new career-high mark asks a question, and the return to 3m isn't certain to suit. |
4/1 |
