19th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 3m 4f 21y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Beat a next-time-out winner to open chasing account at Uttoxeter (3m2f, good to soft) two starts ago and remains lightly raced over fences but didn't fire last time and is seemingly not one to rely upon heavily. |

28th Jan 2023 Good To Soft 3m 2f 13y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
On fire when signing off 2021 with a hat-trick in handicap hurdles, the latest off this very mark; made a belated return to fences last time at Taunton (2m7f) and ran okay despite a 21l defeat; this stiffer test should be in his favour. |

9th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 85y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won three times over fences for Fergal O'Brien; beaten favourite on his stable debut at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) in February but has now dropped to a career-low mark. |
4/1 |
|

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 214y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Soundly beaten/pulled up towards end of last year on final two runs for Fergal O'Brien; however, perhaps a change of scenery and first run in a veterans' chase will prompt a revival from this 10yo, who is on a reduced mark; interesting on yard debut, all the more so if strong in the betting. |
13/2 |

28th May 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Thorough stayer; seemingly on the downgrade now but ran well for a long way when eighth in last month's Aintree Foxhunters' and probably found the good ground too lively when below that form at Cheltenham (2m4f; first-time cheekpieces) four weeks ago; can make his presence felt here. |

9yo who has won just one of his 17 chases but he's finished second in nine of them, including at Kelso (3m2f, good to soft) in March; also effective on good ground and he won here over hurdles; not ruled out on return. |

29th Nov 2023 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Well weighted on plenty of form but has always been a frustrating sort, as reflected by his overall strike-rate (1-27); his two efforts this autumn don't suggest a second win is imminent. |

2m7f hurdle winner (good) when with Dan Skelton; has struggled in all three starts for his current trainer; tongue-tie now accompanies cheekpieces; much more is needed from him. |

10st 13lb |
Added a second hurdling success over this C&D in June last year off 92 (good to yielding); reverts to hurdles now following several underwhelming runs over fences; time is ticking on but can't be dismissed. |

12th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 6f 170y |
10st 13lb |
Dual winning hurdler with his latest win coming at Punchestown in June off 92 (3m, good to yielding); 0-7 chasing however, well beaten in testing conditions at Fairyhouse last month; reduced mark but still others preferred on this ground. |

15th Apr 2023 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Began this season with a win at Hereford (3m1f, good to soft) in November but has disappointed on all three subsequent appearances (cheekpieces added last time) and needs to turn things around. |

28th Jan 2023 Good To Soft 3m 2f 13y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Having his fourth start over fences when edging home at Hereford (3m1f, soft) but he failed to back it up when well held at Exeter and heavy ground shouldn't have been an issue; remains on the same mark, so 8lb higher than for his win. |

Won three handicap hurdles in early 2020 and has shown similar form over fences; however, he's been lightly raced in recent seasons and was soundly beaten in a hunter chase at Ludlow last month; others are preferred. |
