11st 12lb |
Made it a remarkable nine wins (heavy-good to soft) from his last ten starts when scoring at Chepstow (2m7f) last December; pulled up on his only outing since but that was a tough ask in a hot handicap here four weeks ago, after an absence of nearly a year, and he's not written off. |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Reappeared with a win at Warwick (2m4f, good to soft) on New Year's Eve and 8l second at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) since behind a rejuvenated winner; has won on soft/heavy ground; could give another good account. |

13th May 2023 Heavy 1m 3f 179y Class 4 |

Failed to win on the Flat for Ed Walker and has had plenty of chances in handicap hurdles for this yard; lacks consistency but he has less to prove than the rest of these back from a short break. |
6/1 |

23rd Jan 2023 Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
15-race maiden but his recent placed efforts at Lingfield (2m3f) and Hereford (2m5f; soft for both) would be his best yet; just a concern that he's been below par in his previous staying handicaps (3m/3m2f). |

Yet to win (0-14) but, despite jumping right on occasions, ran his best race to date when fitted with a visor at Lingfield (2m3f, soft; third with Roger Rarebit in second) recently; should appreciate this extra yardage and, from an unchanged mark, enters calculations. |

10st 7lb |
Gave very good account when close second over C&D (good to soft) last month and subsequent fifth of 12 over C&D (good) was perfectly respectable but his overall strike-rate is just 1-35 and others appeal more. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |

Just 1-34 under rules but the win came here (in 2023) and he went very close to a second course success 16 days ago, going down by only a head over this trip on good to soft; another who could be involved in the finish. |

23rd Apr 2023 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |

Whiff of promise last spring but he's been well beaten at big prices in three handicaps this season; probably wouldn't want too much rain on his return from four months off. |

21st Dec 2022 Soft 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Best maiden form came on good ground; didn't appear to be in love with today's conditions when tailed off here last month in the race won by The Imposter; lost a shoe, but debatable what difference that made. |

24th Nov 2022 Soft 2m 3f 110y Class 5 |

Encouraging fourth in maiden hurdle at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good) in April and he may have needed last month's handicap debut at Worcester (2m4f, good; pulled up); very early days and he's not written off, but he's unproven on soft/heavy ground and it's hard to be optimistic after last time. |

Really got his act together with cheekpieces added when scoring here (2m5f, good/good to soft) in January/February but he was laboured in his hat-trick bid at Southwell (3m, good) last month; has bit to prove again after that and needs to resume his progress. |

Posted a win then a near-miss over hurdles last April (2m3f/2m6f, good to soft); unable to match that form over fences this season but she was a fair fourth at Ludlow (2m4f, soft) in December and has had a wind op since being pulled up last time; no surprise if she goes well now back hurdling. |

Favourably treated with Martator on his beating of that rival in late 2023 and, when second to the Williams horse in this last year, he committed a good way from home; didn't really fire back in the spring but he's very able when fresh and worth a second look despite being 2lb wrong; Freddie Mitchell aboard for five of his last six races. |
