4th Jul 2023 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 170y |
11st 12lb |
Former Nigel Hawke-trained gelding made a bright start for the stable when second over hurdles at Fairyhouse in April; switch to chasing (second roll of the dice) at Wexford worked out reasonably well when third behind Watch House Cross (facile winner on next start) and if he brushes his jumping up another notch here, he could be one to have on your side; should take high rank. |

19th Jun 2023 Good 2m 3f 100y |
11st 12lb |
Four-time winner in UK is rated 140 over hurdles after a fine run in defeat on debut for this yard; however, didn't jump well on second chase start last time and needs a fair bit more. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Veteran with seven hurdling wins on his CV; returned from layoff with fairly encouraging 2m3f run three weeks ago and may be better suited by this sort of trip nowadays but younger rivals appeal more. |

4th Jul 2025 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Veteran who held on narrowly to capitalise upon some help from the handicapper here (2m7f, good) last summer, his seventh hurdling success; back down to the same mark now but had gone off the boil again when last seen in the autumn. |

26th Nov 2024 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Just held on to win off a reduced mark at Bangor (2m7f, good) in September and is only 1lb higher here but he's getting long in the tooth now and wasn't quite in the same form on his last two appearances. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Course winner whose mark continues to fall and he's not been devoid of spark this season; however, this 11yo is without a win since April 2023 and was disappointing at Ludlow last month. |
8/1 |

19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Second of 12 over 2m5f at Kempton just over a year ago but he hasn't posed a serious threat since, including at about 2m on his last four starts; wasn't disgraced in a valuable event at Windsor (strong handicap form) last time, however, and he's undoubtedly well handicapped these days. |

16th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 2 |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |

Ran quite well to be fourth in this last year when 7lb higher; however, he hasn't won since 2023 and the questions are mounting up. |

15th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |

Went close at Market Rasen (2m5f) in June but behind Courtland back there next time and has since disappointed at Stratford; losing run is mounting up. |

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
On a losing run but went close at Market Rasen (2m5f) in June and was not beaten far in valuable Summer Plate over that C&D (again on good) last month; will be fine on this left-handed track; no surprise if he features. |

Lightly raced in the last two years and form has deteriorated badly; big revival is required on debut for new yard. |

6th Jun 2024 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Five-time hurdle winner from 2m-2m4f on good/soft ground for Nicky Richards; has lost his form since a good second in October 2022; makes no particular appeal on second run for new yard (pulled up first time); now tried blinkered |

31st Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Faller over fences on final start in Ireland; holds poor claims on Flat/hurdles form for current yard and took a heavy tumble at Ludlow most recently; enough to prove. |
50/1 |

20th Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |

Successful over hurdles in Ireland but nothing positive to report so far in Britain and not sure about the addition of a tongue-tie making the world of difference. |

23rd Sep 2024 Good 2m 0f 77y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Had a break since latest 21l defeat at Cartmel, which was only three days after finishing a close third there; this mark is manageable but Cartmel suits and his record here isn't great. |
