5th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Came good over hurdles at sixth attempt, with clear win at Taunton (3m, good) in December; open to further progress on today's chasing debut but his last two runs were very disappointing and he needs to put those behind him. |

0-19 and it's hard to make her the percentage call but she was placed on good ground here (2m5f) and at Taunton (3m) in two of her five starts this autumn/winter; right out of form on last two outings. |

11st 10lb |
Gained two of her six wins over C&D (all were on good ground); returned from break with two good efforts in Class 2 events this summer, the latter on slower-than-ideal ground over C&D last month, and looks the one to beat in this easier race. |

30th Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Gained two of her six wins over C&D (all were on good ground); returned from break with good third (just behind My Chiquita) at Worcester (2m4f, good) last month and is still on a workable mark (even from 1lb out of the weights) but the forecast rain is a worry. |

In a first-time visor and making stable debut when edging home over C&D in March (good to soft) but then finished tailed off at Exeter (good to firm); hard to be confident about how he'll run here with cheekpieces back on but the ability is there. |

23rd Mar 2025 Good 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |

9yo who snapped a long losing sequence on this month's stable debut at Huntingdon (3m2f, good to soft) when wearing a first-time visor (retained) on his first outing since wind surgery; 4lb higher today but could have more to offer for this yard; should be major player. |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Both wins at Wincanton, the latest in a 3m handicap in 2023, but he's dropped to a handy mark and the latest run at Newbury (3m, good to soft), his third since returning from an absence, suggested he could be interesting with this lesser stamina test; can figure. |

14th Jan 2026 Good 3m 0f 57y Class 4 |

Gained his only wins at Wincanton in 2022 and 2023; not disgraced when runner-up in Class 5 at Lingfield (2m7f) most recently but looks unlikely to go one better in this stronger contest. |

21st Dec 2022 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Won a 2m1f chase on testing ground in France in 2021; beaten too far in his eight British starts (five over hurdles, the three over fences) to be recommended at the moment but he is way down the weights. |
