16th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Claims on March's Newcastle third (2m4f, good to soft), but cosmetically respectable form figures this year disguise one or two heavy defeats, this trip as much the issue as her jumping left at Fakenham latest. |

13th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |

Slightly disappointing at Southwell 12 days ago and now 0-6 over fences but her close third at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) was a pretty good effort and she has possibilities here if stamina holds out on first venture beyond about 2m5f. |

Made successful return to hurdles at Lingfield (2m7f, soft) a year ago and finished third over the same C&D in December after ten months off; held at Wetherby (3m1f, good to soft) since, but that was in a better race; respected with conditions likely to be ideal. |

Temptingly treated on the pick of his handicap form at about 2m on ground not too slow; Taunton last time was disappointing (2m3f, good) but coming back to a sharp 2m will help and could run well if his jumping holds up (can make mistakes). |

Bounced back to form when adding a fourth chase win at Punchestown in June (3m1f, good to yielding); another good run at Cartmel last time when beaten a neck; reverts to hurdles now off a much lower mark, but hasn't been able to take advantage of it in the past; 2lb wrong. |

None too consistent but he was back over fences at Punchestown 20 days ago (3m1f, good to yielding) and ran on well to prevail in a big field; that was his fourth success as a chaser and big shout if he can hold his form. |

Yet to add to his chase win in January 2023 but was in pretty good form when last seen in the spring; held share of the lead at final fence before fading into fourth at Warwick (2m4f, good) in May and resumes on a 2lb lower mark; also suited by soft/heavy ground; big player if tuned up after break. |
