23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Very lightly raced but fairly useful hurdles/chase winner for Laura Morgan in 2021/22; just two runs since back from huge absence for this yard and not totally disgraced when seventh over 3m at Ffos Las (soft) in March, prominent to three out; had wind surgery since; tongue-tie now added. |

16th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Made very promising start to chasing career for Laura Morgan in 2022 but, following a mammoth absence, struggled to get competitive (albeit in a good race) on last month's stable debut; sports refitted cheekpieces here; current ability very hard to gauge. |

1st May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 4lb |
Bled from the nose when a fading fourth in the Aintree Foxhunters latest (2m5f, good to soft), though still had Fan De Blues comfortably behind for the second time this year; more prolific on easier surfaces but Taunton win in January reaffirmed he's effective on good as well. |
2/5 |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Won the Grand Annual at Cheltenham Festival in March 2024 (2m, soft) and runner-up in it last year (good to soft); comfortable wins in hunter chases on last two starts (2m5f/2m6f, good/good to soft); his stamina will be more severely tested in today's hotter company but leading claims if seeing it out. |

14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 6f 54y Class 3 |
12st 4lb |
Useful handicapper who won the Grand Annual Chase at the 2024 Cheltenham Festival (2m, soft) and was second in that race last year (good to soft); did not need to be at best to make winning hunter chase debut at Taunton (2m5f, good; main rival disappointed) last month and ought to remain a potent threat at this level. |

24th Feb 2024 Heavy 2m 7f 131y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Had a career-low jumps mark when winning at Aintree (3m, soft) in November; that was a doughty performance but he reverted to heavy defeats on both starts since; has been wearing cheekpieces but now tries a visor; 7lb claimer is recruited. |
25/1 |

13th Jan 2024 Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Well down the weights and took advantage with Aintree win (3m, soft) in November; that was a doughty performance but he reverted to a heavy defeat when back up 5lb at Newbury three weeks later; needs more like the novice form he showed in the 2021-22 season. |

1st Dec 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 52y Class 2 |

Well down weights and took advantage with Aintree win (3m, soft) three weeks ago; that was a doughty performance but he's back up 5lb and probably now needs more like the novice form he showed in the 2021-22 season. |

19th Aug 2023 Good 2m 4f 20y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Easily dealt with by A Different Kind at Uttoxeter latest (2m4f, heavy), having ensured a solid test over a trip at the bottom end of his range; could do with jumping a bit better if he's to make the 11lb swing count, though the new headgear combination may help in that regard. |

Won three times over hurdles for Jessica Harrington including the 2020 Pertemps Qualifier at Warwick (3m, soft); not so good in three runs over fences, the latest on second outing for this yard at Leicester in December (2m4f, good); has since had wind surgery and now tried in a tongue tie. |

26th Jul 2024 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Reportedly unsuited by the good to soft ground when well beaten over hurdles here last month but his second over hurdles here (2m4f, good) two starts ago was a pretty good effort, and he reverts to chasing on a good mark; dangerous to ignore. |
5/1 |

30th Jun 2024 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Made the frame in three of his four races since returning from long layoff this spring, most recently when keeping-on second over C&D (good) 24 days ago; probably won't be far away but others appeal more. |
12/1 |

2nd 7 |
6th Jun 2024 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Has won a bumper, a novice handicap hurdle and a novice handicap chase, all at around 2m on good ground; fair third in a handicap hurdle at Fakenham in April when back from a 403-day break (2m4f, good; first run after win surgery); wouldn't rule out. |

15th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 118y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Took a big 3m handicap at Haydock in November 2021 but no joy since and he's now a 12yo, absent 573 days before this season and not as good as he was; down the weights too and a close third at Chepstow on penultimate start, but he's not the percentage call. |
20/1 |

19th Jan 2025 Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
12yo who isn't as good as he was but he's handicapped accordingly and stayed on for a promising sixth at Haydock (2m3f, soft) in November on his second start back from a long absence; suited by the step back up to 2m7f when 1l third at Chepstow (soft) last month and could be bang there once more. |
