25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 44y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Completed a handicap hurdle four-timer in late 2022 and showed considerable spark when third of 15 at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) in March on his second start back from a long absence; however, tailed off at Aintree next time; makes chase debut and others have more pressing claims. |

Modest handicapper for Oliver Sherwood but he romped home in a three-runner Fakenham maiden hunter chase last May and has done well in points either side of that; beat a respected rival in the latest 12 days ago and should run well. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 3m 2f 0y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Won over fences 13 months ago but returned from layoff with lacklustre hurdle run in April and is difficult to enthuse over after that performance; has usual tongue-tie refitted; seems versatile ground-wise. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Won over fences at Huntingdon (2m7f, good to soft) last March and returned from break with pleasing fourth over hurdles there (3m1f, good to soft) in November; absent for another 131 days since but won't be far away if in similar form again. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Very inconsistent nowadays and needs to bounce back from tame effort in valuable handicap hurdle here three weeks ago but ran well from the front when second in C&D (good) chase in May and has claims if judged on that. |
5/1 |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Quickly switches back to hurdling after good second over fences here (2m1f, good) last month; does not have much margin for error off current mark but will cope a lot better than some of these if the ground ends up heavy. |

24th May 2025 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Six-time hurdle winner on soft/heavy ground; reverts to fences on a tempting mark but was well beaten in his only previous chase (in October 2023) and there may not be enough rain about for him today. |

28th Aug 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
0-9 under rules, including two starts over fences; returns from a second long absence and probably best watched unless the market speaks otherwise. |

9th Feb 2023 Good 2m 7f 214y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Well treated on hurdle form from May 2021 but he was then absent until December 2022, when tailed off, and he's since been pulled up on his chase debut at Wincanton; plenty to prove. |

2nd Nov 2023 Soft 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
0-9 under rules and was pulled in his last two handicaps (2m7f/3m) last winter before a well-held second back in a point in April; now returns to hurdling after another break; plenty to prove but has joined a yard that has done well this season; market watch needed. |

23rd Jan 2023 Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |

0-8 under rules and ran no race in a Lingfield handicap (2m7f, heavy) a month ago when 66-1; cheekpieces join the tongue-tie. |
