9th May 2024 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
20l behind Force De Frap at Stratford in March, but significant return to form at Bangor since, just failing to get up in time (2m1f, soft); still well treated on 2023's winning form despite a 3lb re-raise, and just a matter of whether a sharp 2m on good is too much of a speed test now. |

18th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 3f 49y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
raced lazily at times, in touch with leaders, mistake and jockey unbalanced 2nd, not fluent 5th, outpaced and lost position before 4 out, soon no impression, tailed off |
6/1 |

6th 1 |
15th Feb 2024 Soft 1m 7f 216y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
3-13 over hurdles and largely reliable, with no ground worries; won what was effectively a match on reappearance at Fontwell (2m1f, heavy) in November and ran creditably at Warwick on sole start since; relatively exposed but firmly in calculations. |

30th Apr 2026 Yielding 2m 0f 75y |
11st 7lb |
Bounced back from an off day at Sandown to win a small-field Newbury event; this is tougher, but he is generally reliable. |
14/1 |
|
2nd 1 |
21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 92y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Ran no sort of race at Sandown seven weeks ago but his previous four efforts had all been highly creditable, including a Haydock win (2m, soft; handles good) just before Christmas; no surprise if he bounces back for a yard in form. |
5/2 |

31st Jan 2026 Soft 1m 7f 99y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Acts on any ground; record of 2212 this term for new yard, most recently clear of the remainder when bidding for a Haydock double (2m); back on career-high mark but looks a solid contender in current form. |
5/1 |
