1st Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Made all to win this race in pretty good style off 3lb lower in 2025 (heavy ground) and returns here after making the frame on both starts this year (2m5f, good to soft/soft); ought to make a bold bid. |
3/1 |

Very up and down; had one of his better days at Exeter last month (2m5f, good to soft) but was behind Shuil Ceoil and wouldn't be certain to back that up. |

Runner-up over hurdles in January but out of form in his five starts since, including on first Flat run since 2020; 0-12 overall on Flat. |

24th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Not been in the best of form on the Flat and over hurdles recently; has won on heavy but this forecast better ground suits and could bounce back; tongue-tie now tried. |

7th Apr 2023 Soft 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Well beaten over hurdles on his last three starts; however, perhaps this first run on the Flat since 2020 will trigger a revival and he ran well over jumps as recently as January (on heavy ground); not discounted. |

Inconsistent last season and absent since tame effort in March but won when fresh a year ago, at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft), and begins his new campaign from a good mark. |

27th Jul 2023 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Tailed off at Fontwell last month (favourite), which takes some forgiving; won at the same track on previous outing and soft ground also no hardship so enters the argument if he can leave behind the latest flop. |

16th Jun 2023 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Two of his three wins have come here, the latest when finishing well to collar Tara Iti over C&D 19 days ago; little between the pair again and can be expected to be played late; chances. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Regressive and inconsistent veteran; seemingly perked up by change of headgear when close second in refitted visor at Perth (2m, good) last month and remains on a very good mark but it's not easy to predict whether he'll be in the right mood again here. |
8/1 |

15th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Exposed; goes well on testing ground but latest win (off 10lb higher) was on good ground at Ayr in November (2m) when returning from a break; beaten 20l when eighth over C&D last month (good to soft; blinkers replaced regular visor); visor back on today; well handicapped, but a bit to prove. |

2-3 during light campaign last season, the latter win gained off today's mark in valuable series final at Hereford (3m1f, good); pulled up in 2m3f Wetherby race won by Micks Jet last month but has possibilities here if that outing brought her on. |
