22nd Dec 2024 Good To Soft 3m 5f 24y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Regressive 8yo who won a three-runner race in the spring but has developed a tendency to race lazily; soundly beaten on all three appearances this season and it's hard to predict the extent to which he'll warm to the task on this first venture beyond 3m2f. |

11st 10lb |
Three of his four chase wins have been on this track, two over C&D; scored off a 2lb higher mark at Chepstow (2m7f, soft) in April in a three-runner contest but two poor efforts this term and looks risky. |

23rd Oct 2023 Soft 2m 3f 164y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
All four wins have been gained at this track and latest was over C&D (soft) in January; that was off 2b higher but he's not come close to that form since and was a well-held third of four at Fontwell on his recent return after another wind op; has bit to prove and he needs a major revival. |

Placed off 13lb higher over C&D (good to soft) on seasonal debut in September but ended 2024 with some lesser efforts and he was tailed off after a 102-day break here last month; first-time visor swiftly ditched. |

0-21 over fences; absent since pulled up over hurdles here in May 2023 and 10lb wrong today; can't be recommended. |

15th Nov 2022 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |

Won a maiden in hurdle in Ireland but that was over four years ago; the odd fair run earlier in the year and may come on for his recent return to action at Plumpton; others look stronger as he bids for his first chase win at the 21st attempt. |

10st 8lb |
A first chase win since June 2019 (fourth in all) when responding well for pressure on his return to fences at Southwell (2m4f, good); no guarantees that he'll be as good again but a 3lb rise is very fair. |

prominent, ridden 2 out, pressed leader last, kept on run-in, led final stride (trainer said, regarding the apparent improvement in form, that gelding had benefited from dropping back in trip and a return to chasing) |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Dual chase winner for Suzy Smith in 2021; returned from 881-day absence with heavy defeat over hurdles here (3m2f, good) for new stable three weeks ago but ran well to a point and may benefit from this drop back in trip; 2lb wrong but worth a second look. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |

Dual chase winner in the spring of 2021 but he'd lost his form when last seen in November 2023; impossible to predict what this stable debut will produce but he's on a dangerous mark and the market should give firm indications. |

1st Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Generally very disappointing since returning from long absence in the autumn but took step back in right direction when respectable fourth (just behind Onehundredneighty) at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) last month and remains very well handicapped. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Dual 2m3f chase winner at start of 2024 (heavy/good to soft) but out of sorts since returning from long layoff this season; reverts to hurdling on tempting mark but needs a revival. |

27th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |

Began 2024 with two 2m3f Exeter wins and was subsequently placed over C&D; very well handicapped on those heroics but returned from long layoff with three disappointing runs this season and needs a revival; swaps usual cheekpieces for blinkers. |
