Raced mainly at around 2m4f and is on the downgrade now; went close off his much-reduced mark in four-runner race at Plumpton (3m1f, soft) in January but safely held twice since; formerly trained by Milton Harris/Anthony Charlton; now with Hariet Dickin; others preferred. |

30th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 213y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Undefeated in four small-field 3m open points (good/good to firm), the successes around the sharp left-handers at Higham and Fakenham particularly relevant in today's context; can lead but needn't, and won't want for experience of regulation fences (24 chase starts); player. |

Better over fences than hurdles so encouraging to see him win over the smaller obstacles last month before chasing home a hot Bowen-trained favourite over C&D two weeks ago; should go well despite the 3lb rise. |

6th Jan 2024 Heavy 2m 4f 35y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Rare hurdle start these days when beaten a neck at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) before returning to fences with a respectable fourth at Cheltenham (2m4f, soft; beaten 12l); a late mistake didn't help matters last time and yet he finished his race out nicely; major player now down a grade. |

13th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Nothing like the force of old but is handicapped accordingly now; dropped another 2lb since last month's very respectable fourth at Ludlow and will be suited by the return to this C&D; can make a bold bid from the front. |

11yo who was disappointing at Ayr (2m, soft) last month but posted two respectable performances previously when making the frame at Lingfield (2m4f, good to soft) and Chepstow (2m3f, heavy), and he's been given a chance by the handicapper; could have a part to play. |

12th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Four-time course winner; no longer the force of old as a 12yo but proved he retains a significant chunk of ability and ran well from the front when second at Kempton (2m5f, good) a fortnight ago; ought to handle today's slower ground reasonably well; no surprise if he's in the mix again. |

25th Feb 2023 Good 2m 5f 0y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Ran well both starts here (C&D) but now a 12yo whose best form was in 2020 and May/June 2021; long absence before this season and latest start (2m4f chase) was a step back in the right direction but now he needs another. |

26th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Recorded his sixth hurdle win when making all off a reduced mark at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) in April, and his follow-up bid off this mark was respectable back there 20 days ago; capable off this mark but not without risk. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |

Five-time hurdle winner who hasn't looked like adding to that on recent efforts, although latest was more encouraging over C&D; well treated on past form but needs to step up. |

Won easily by 21l off today's mark at Market Rasen (2m1f, good to soft) in April but has lost his way in recent weeks and was pulled up when returned to Market Rasen on Saturday; needs a rebound. |

Did well as a novice hurdler in early 2021, winning on heavy; hasn't really got things going over fences following lengthy breaks and her best form is over shorter (has tried 3m); always a chance that cheekpieces might trigger something better. |
