15th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 4m 2f 8y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
Only 1-10 as a chaser but he's a consistent gelding who ran another solid race to finish third in the Eider, albeit about 20l behind the easy winner Knockanore; likely to give his running once more but looks vulnerable off just 1lb lower. |

31st Jan 2025 Soft 3m 4f 178y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Acts on soft, below form sole start on heavy; won over these fences in November 2023; no joy since but career-best form this season and he stuck to his task very well with the first-time cheekpieces over the extended 3m1f at Wincanton on latest start; going beyond that now looks worth a go. |

1st May 2026 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Both restricted wins in 2025 were recorded on good, which he's not encountered so far this campaign; interesting on that account, though no previous rules chasing experience and posted both his respective worst hurdle and bumper RPRs at Warwick. |

22nd Mar 2023 Good To Soft 3m 2f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Form dipped on good going last time; largely solid record on slow ground otherwise and there may still be progress to come from him, having had just two handicap attempts; possibilities if he takes well to first-time headgear. |
7/2 |

8th 2 |
6th Mar 2023 Good 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |
12st 1lb |
Unraced on the forecast good ground and he's yet to transfer his useful bumper form to hurdles; however, he was a fair third of 12 behind an easy winner on last month's handicap debut at Lingfield (2m7f, good to soft), and is open to improvement. |

He's just 1lb higher than when winning at Carlisle (2m, good to soft) in October and he has form at up to 3m; however, below his best on his last three starts and was pulled up at Carlisle a fortnight ago. |

1st Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual winner over hurdles (2m4f/3m) but he's 0-5 on the Flat; plugged on for a modest fourth in a maiden at Carlisle (1m3f, soft) 22 days ago and now steps back up in trip on this return to handicap company. |

A dual winner over hurdles in 2023 (2m4f/3m); struggled over hurdles/Flat since returning from a lengthy absence; beaten 13l when seventh of nine at Carlisle (2m1f, soft) in July and now drops back in trip. |

Very lightly raced hurdler; off two years before beating only one on his chasing debut in 2m3f Wetherby handicap last month; significantly more is required. |

1st Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Half-brother to a point winner and he showed ability in his three hurdle runs at up to 2m4f; his last run was two years ago but he's still very lightly raced and needs checking in market on his handicap/chase debut. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Has won his last three races, all at Sedgefield, two 3m3f handicap hurdles and last time (second run with cheekpieces) a 3m2f handicap chase; these conditions fine and should go well again despite career-high mark (5lb higher than last win). |
5/1 |

1st 2 |
19th Mar 2026 Good 3m 2f 59y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Failed to threaten in 2024 on his two previous chase starts but he's in much better form now having won over hurdles here on his last two starts (3m3f, good to soft/soft); has shown promise on good ground; he's just 5lb higher than when easily making all four weeks ago in first-time cheekpieces (retained) and can have a big say if transferring that form back to fences. |

1st 7 |
19th Feb 2026 3m 3f 9y Class 4 |

Got off the mark for the season when winning over C&D earlier this month (good to soft); only 3lb higher, but this a stronger race; cheekpieces now tried; contender. |

31st Jan 2023 Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Flat-bred 7yo who was placed in bumpers at Ayr (good to soft) and Carlisle (soft) last season; the form of the latter run has worked out well but today's hurdling debut comes after a 358-day absence and he has a useful standard to reach. |

11st 7lb |
Began year with two point wins at Alnwick (maiden/restricted) and again ran well when second (beaten about 4l) behind Boley Bob at Tranwell (3m, good to soft) last month; each-way claims at least. |

Showed some ability when third in Corbridge point (2m4f, soft) in April but well beaten in Hexham point (3m, good) in May and he's shown very little under rules; a long way out of the weights on handicap debut. |
