22nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Triple hurdle winner and chase winner (2m4f), on good or slower; that chase win came readily on his penultimate start, at Southwell; unable to back that up after a 7lb rise and step up in grade at Uttoxeter (2m5f, good) latest; still well treated on his winning effort, if he can repeat it. |

Bumper winner and has three wins over hurdles; got off the mark on the return to fences when a convincing winner at Southwell (2m4f, good) last month; up 7lb but looks sure to give another bold account. |

22nd Mar 2024 Good To Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
2-4 in novice company over hurdles last season but he's been pulled up in both his handicaps including on his chase debut at Ayr (2m, good to soft) in November; now returns to hurdling after a second win operation but he needs a major revival after another break. |

Has won two minor events in the north of England and was found an easy opening in which to defy a penalty last time; 4lb 'wrong' for this severe hike in class and it looks a big ask. |

Not disgraced behind a useful sort in 2m novice event at Market Rasen on Boxing Day; comfortably held in two Class 4 handicaps since but may do better in this lower grade. |

23rd Feb 2023 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |

23rd May 2026 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Record of 1-18 over hurdles but he returned after 510 days off with a second at Southwell (2m4f, good) two weeks ago; that was a good effort behind an improver and he's a player if he can build on that. |
3/1 |

11th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |

Sole win came in the summer of 2023, over 2m4f on good ground; chasing never went to plan two seasons ago but he ran well back over hurdles on final sighting in late 2024; what form he'll be in after an absence is anyone's guess, so best to let the betting guide; tongue-tie added. |
