27th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Won this in 2024 (heavy) and he was a promising second at Carlisle (3m, soft) in November 2025 on his second start back from a long absence; tailed off at Haydock since but he was 7lb out of the handicap and made a bad mistake mid-race; he's one to consider now back down in grade. |

16th Mar 2023 Heavy 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Eight-race maiden; best run over hurdles when runner-up at Kelso in November (2m5f, soft); interesting on chase debut. |

26th Jan 2023 Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |

Runner-up in the autumn in his first two handicaps (2m4f/2m5f, soft) and brought down at the fifth flight at Newcastle last time; has shaped as though this step up in trip could suit and he holds likeable claims. |

23rd Feb 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Won off a career-low chase mark at Fontwell (3m2f, good; refitted cheekpieces) in November and slower ground wouldn't have been ideal the last twice; none too reliable these days at the best of times. |
12/1 |

31st Jan 2025 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Very inconsistent this season and his win at Fontwell (good ground; 5lb higher today) on penultimate start was over 3m2f; his soft-ground form was two years ago and he pulled up on his only appearance on heavy. |

11st 12lb |
Two Irish point wins in the spring; respectable first run for this yard at Carlisle (2m4f, soft) but Wincanton was disappointing (2m4f, good); blinkers now turned to and the ability is there to feature. |

17th Nov 2022 Good 2m 3f 179y Class 5 |

Two Irish point wins in the spring; failed to land strong support on last month's stable debut at Carlisle (soft), when wilting late on; might well do better on good ground and interesting to see if backers return. |

22nd Oct 2023 Good To Soft 3m 2f 202y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Both hurdle wins on good ground but showed he could get it done on soft when winning a five-runner handicap chase at Hexham (3m) 16 days ago; the third there has won since and a 4lb rise isn't excessive; one to consider. |

Runner-up in quite valuable series final here (2m4f, good) in spring but has very modest 1-29 strike-rate over hurdles and was soundly beaten on latest outing last month; not yet proven over 3m; others preferred. |

Had jumping issues on both appearances in March and needs to put things right on that front here, but this return to a left-handed track ought to be in his favour and he's a big player in this uncompetitive race if judged on the form he showed when third three consecutive times (2m1f-3m) last autumn/winter. |

5th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 68y Class 5 |

Inconsistent maiden who has achieved little in handicap hurdles the last twice; worth a crack at chasing (has pointing experience) but he's not solid on form. |

1st Jan 2023 Soft 2m 4f 68y Class 5 |

Well handicapped, but out of form over hurdles this season since returning from a 744-day break; plenty to prove on chase debut (ordinary form in two runs pointing in Ireland). |

8th Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 0f 46y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Fair fourth at Hexham (2m, good to soft) in September when back from a long absence; tailed off/pulled up since in his first two handicaps (both 2m4f, soft); it's possible he'll appreciate this return to better ground but he has plenty to prove. |

Dual C&D winner last season (soft/good to soft), and was placed off 10lb higher on the outer track here (2m1f, soft) in November; impossible to rule out but has become unreliable and was safely held here twice last month. |
