6th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 216y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Fitting of cheekpieces sparked a revival in December, when landing a fifth success over fences at Ascot (2m3f, good to soft); followed that up with a career-best RPR when third off this mark there (2m5f) the following month; respected but he'll need to leave behind a lesser effort last time. |

25th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Signs of promise on both hurdle starts (2m/2m3f, soft/good to soft), most recently 28l third of 16 in warm maiden at Lingfield; this very lightly raced 5yo is bred to get better the further he goes and is open to improvement on this handicap debut; firmly in calculations. |

3rd 2 |
20th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 110y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Left debut form behind when a promising fourth in Wetherby bumper in December and he made a solid start over hurdles when runner-up in another big field at that track (2m, soft) last month; needs to find more progress but he's well related and this step up in trip should suit on pedigree. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Two wins and a second from five starts since April but he's not the easiest to predict and there have also been a couple of heavy defeats, including when coming home 65l adrift at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last time; will need to be on a going day. |

Scored over 2m3f here (good to soft) in April and was close second at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) the following month; disappointed when last in action but, if back on song, could plausibly have untapped potential over today's longer trip. |

Won C&D maiden on heavy ground in March and runner-up over C&D on both subsequent appearances (heavy/good to soft); today's faster ground may not be ideal but her handicap mark is workable and, if her useful bumper form is a guide, she may yet do better over hurdles. |

Dual C&D winner in 2023 and is considerably lower in the weights now; raced lazily, tailed off, in a division of this last year (good; 5-1); missing from action since so it's tough to know how he'll fare; market check advised. |
