15th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 203y Class 1 |
11st 8lb |
Multiple winner who reacted well to the new cheekpieces when a clearcut winner of the Middle Distance Veterans' Final over C&D only 11 days ago; historically well treated despite the 6lb rise but there's a suspicion that younger limbs this time may have his measure. |

Sent off favourite at Exeter (2m3f, good to soft) four weeks ago and returned to form with 1l second to Genois, finishing clear of the remainder; wears first-time cheekpieces and he's on the shortlist. |

Won notable handicaps off higher marks around this time of year two years ago but lightly raced in the meantime and has yet to offer much this season; needs a revival. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good 3m 6f 153y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Reportedly appreciated the heavy ground when rallying to lead close home at Huntingdon (2m7f) last month; will be suited by the longer trip here but the ground will be much quicker this time and he's very unreliable now. |

19th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 4f 178y Class 3 |

Returned to form with narrow win in this race a year ago (heavy) and is now 1lb below that mark but well beaten all four starts since (three this season) and needs to bounce back again; headgear (worn for last two races) removed. |

Well held when third of five on handicap debut in May (2m3f) and pulled up when fitted with cheekpieces last month (3m2f); drops back in trip with blinkers tried here; not written off just yet but others have much less to prove. |

4th Nov 2022 Good 2m 5f 137y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Added to his French bumper win when landing a Clonmel maiden hurdle (2m2f, heavy; RPR 126) for Emmet Mullins in March; looks interesting on that form but he's had two different trainers since and was pulled up when switched to fences at Newton Abbot on his return in September; tongue-tie is now added back in this sphere and he has some questions to answer. |

Unseated rider at first flight on hurdling debut in November and was a pulled-up outsider at Newbury later that month. |

25th Nov 2022 Good 2m 4f 118y Class 3 |

Well beaten at 25-1 in sole bumper and he was 80-1 when unseating at the first flight on his hurdle debut; others are preferred. |

4th Nov 2022 Good 2m 5f 137y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
25-1 for a Newton Abbot bumper (2m1f, soft) in March and was never involved before finishing eighth of 11; this stiffer stamina test should suit on hurdling debut but he needs to leave that initial form miles behind; hood worn on debut is removed. |

11st 0lb |
4-4 in the 2018-19 campaign, including two Grade 3 chase wins at Cheltenham (2m4f), but he struggled in only two runs last season (hurdle/chase); had wind surgery in July but has something to prove and hard to know how much ability he retains; non-runner at Newbury yesterday. |

3rd Nov 2022 Good 3m 0f 52y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Lightly raced since winning over fences at the 2019 Cheltenham Festival; well handicapped on that form and he's had a wind operation since his last run last December, but he was well beaten on his two starts last season and he needs to prove how much ability he retains; a tongue-tie goes on. |

28th Feb 2023 Good To Firm 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Had little to beat when point winner last spring (good); well held in two hurdle completions on soft but this looks more his cup of tea, going handicapping over fences back on a sound surface; first-time aids fitted. |

23rd Jan 2023 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Good-ground point winner; needs to improve on what he's shown in two rules starts (latest on soft) and looks likely to be more interesting when switched to handicaps. |
