11st 8lb |
His third win over hurdles when a 3l winner over C&D last May (good to firm; won on soft); lost his way a little afterwards but could be better for a break and James Smith takes away a useful 7lb. |

7th Sep 2023 Good 3m 1f 185y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Launched chasing career with two fairly respectable runs on soft ground this summer (3m2f/2m7f); needs to take a step forward today but is now 2lb lower than when winning a fast-ground hurdle in May and may benefit from the addition of cheekpieces; interesting. |

23rd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Four-time chase winner at up to 3m1f; well handicapped on his Huntingdon win for Henry Daly last March but he's struggled since including in two runs for new yard this spring; ran well to a point at Ludlow last time but he was on the retreat when he fell and others preferred. |

30th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 3 |

Potentially well treated on old form but signed off for Henry Daly with his own ideas about the game and he made a quiet start for this yard at Huntingdon after wind surgery; risky. |

1st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 189y Class 3 |

Comes with some risk, having proved recalcitrant in sole start this term (left Henry Daly and had wind surgery since); otherwise interesting back at Huntingdon, with record of 2-2 over fences here comprising wins in this contest for the last two years. |

Two sound runs in the autumn but fell at Cheltenham in January and hasn't run quite as well since; this a significant drop in grade and with the ground in his favour, is one with a chance. |

Fell in the early stages at Cheltenham last time; couple of good efforts otherwise this term but is more exposed than some of these rivals and 3lb higher than when midfield in this race 12 months ago. |

Very well suited by this C&D and good ground but returned from break with a disappointing effort (albeit without usual cheekpieces) three weeks ago and, even if back on song, probably doesn't have much margin for error off current mark. |

Not at his best last time at Warwick (3m1f) but was having a very solid season up until then, albeit at about 3m+; this drop in distance is a big enough concern to look elsewhere. |

Both hurdle wins gained here and ran well when third in a C&D chase in May, following a break; pulled up at Uttoxeter since (ground softer than official description); risky after that but this is her course and may well perk up in a visor. |

17th Jun 2023 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
The second of her two hurdles wins came off this mark last summer at Worcester (2m7f, good), where she also made a respectable return to fences 40 days ago; was beaten 11l so needs more here, but that was her first run for 193 days; respected. |

Dual hurdle winner here (2m7f, good) when fitted with tongue-tie last summer but in poor form when last seen in the autumn, and both her chasing attempts last spring were unconvincing; others have a lot less to prove. |

Definite ability for two previous stables but he was returning from a mammoth absence when uncompetitive on his debut for this one at Worcester (2m7f; jumped moderately); makes no appeal on the back of that. |
