11st 10lb |
Hurdles record of 5-32 includes wins over 3m on good ground at Wetherby in October and Haydock latest start; holding his form well and is better than ever; may remain competitive. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 3m 1f 5y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Running well at present and he followed a Wetherby win (3m) in October with a solid third at Bangor (2m7f, also good), despite giving Joe Anderson a workout, 12 days later; has form on soft and is one to consider. |

Arguably posted career-best performance when winning at Warwick (3m, good) 12 days ago, but is 6lb higher in a stronger race and not always one to rely upon; others appeal more. |

Just 1-10 over fences but ran well in defeat in first-time blinkers at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) in August and was placed (over hurdles) on both previous visits to Hereford; no surprise if he features. |

1-8 over fences and mostly running well but he can throw in the odd modest effort and wasn't at his best behind Doctor Foley at Fontwell in May last time out; could well leave that effort behind back today and he needs considering. |

28th Jun 2024 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
A fair 19f hurdles/chase winner last autumn who comes here on the back of a solid third of seven in 21f handicap chase at Market Rasen two weeks ago; shortlisted with tongue-tie refitted. |

3rd 4 |
14th Jun 2024 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Sits 4lb higher than when scoring at Sedgefield (2m3f, soft) last November, a form line given a boost by Neigh Botha at Southwell on Tuesday; turned in a solid effort on return to jumps action at Stratford (third) a fortnight ago and could have more to offer; probable contender. |

1st Jun 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 205y Class 4 |

Won over hurdles and fences last season and probably still on a fair mark; however, two tailed-off runs on the Flat since April cast some doubts over his wellbeing. |

Short-headed at Fontwell (2m6f, good to soft) last January in his second handicap; that's easily the closest he's got, with similar form over 2m7f once last March but not so good in his three runs this season; wore cheekpieces last time (soundly beaten over C&D) and they are retained. |

12th May 2023 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Generally disappointing since moving into handicaps but took good step in right direction when fourth at Taunton (2m, good to soft; first-time blinkers) last month, and that form has already worked out well; 3lb lower here; visored refitted this time; can make his presence felt. |

13th Apr 2023 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |

Six-race maiden; shaped better than bare result in first-time visor at Uttoxeter when last seen, eventually tiring on the heavy going; may improve back on better ground with blinkers now given a whirl. |

Course winner; a lot of his form is over shorter but he proved his stamina for 3m when runner-up at Ffos Las two weeks ago (good); unlikely to be far away off the same mark. |

2nd 10 |
21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Produced a remarkable late surge to snatch what had looked an unlikely victory at Fontwell (2m5f, good to soft; blinkers removed) last month but this inconsistent 9yo tends to race lazily nowadays and got going too late when back at Fontwell a fortnight ago; other are much less risky. |

8th Nov 2022 Good 2m 5f 163y Class 5 |

Looks feasibly treated on her best form in Ireland but was pulled up when favourite on stable debut at Stratford (2m2f novice) in June before a well-held sixth of eight at Uttoxeter (2m4f handicap) the following month; overall record now stands at 0-16 and others are more convincing. |

Easily his best run when weakening from the third-last flight at Uttoxeter (2m novice, good) three runs ago; departed early when 16-1 for his handicap debut and was then pulled up at Hereford (soft; 66-1); getting back on drier ground may help matters and still early days; cheekpieces added. |

Won a 3m chase handicap off 14lb higher at Kempton (good) last March but he lost his way last season and was pulled up in his final two runs in the spring; has plenty to prove back over hurdles on his return and he's 0-8 in this sphere; first-time hood. |
