14th May 2023 Good 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Aided by cheekpieces when twice making all under William Maggs in February, latterly over C&D on good ground; finished tired in race that developed into a slog at Kempton three weeks ago but didn't run badly there and remains of interest. |

24th Apr 2023 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
2-2 since fitted with cheekpieces, both wins gained from the front under William Maggs in February, latest at Ludlow (2m, good); still well handicapped judged on peak Flat ability; big player in the retained headgear, provided he returns from two-month break in the same form. |

10th Apr 2023 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |

Has done better since returned to forcing tactics with cheekpieces fitted on last two starts at 2m, winning quite convincingly at Market Rasen before narrowly hanging on at Ludlow (good), both under William Maggs; back up 6lb, leaving him with more to find. |

18-race maiden; some fair form, including last time when third over 2m2f here (good); back after a break on this stable debut with no headgear (has been tried in cheekpieces and a tongue-tie); probably best watched. |

Made all at Newcastle (2m, heavy) in February and didn't run badly on last month's return to action at Kelso (2m1f, good to soft), which he could improve for; however, he has a major stamina question to answer here. |

10st 10lb |
Yet to win after nine attempts over hurdles and could do with settling better, which was again evident when pulled up last time over 2m3f; not at all badly treated on his placed efforts should he give himself a chance. |

8th Oct 2024 Good 2m 3f 137y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Yet to win after eight attempts over hurdles but frequently placed and made a most encouraging return from a long absence when a staying-on third at Fontwell (2m5f, good) in August; has been given plenty of time to get over that run and he's one of the likelier ones off the same mark back down in distance. |

2m4f hurdle and 2m7f chase winner (both good to soft); has struggled with consistency, but a leading player if reproducing his latest third of eight at Exeter last month. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Close third over hurdles at Wetherby (3m, soft) in January then won over fences at Catterick (3m1f, soft); ran pretty well when 5l third of three in Sedgefield chase (3m2f, good) last time; arrives in good heart and there can be optimism that she'll be fine now back down in trip; possible player. |

19th Mar 2026 Good 3m 2f 59y Class 4 |

Close third over hurdles at Wetherby (3m, soft) in January then made it 3-6 over fences when winning at Catterick (3m1f, soft); has won on good ground; it was a weak race last time but she's unexposed over fences and could still have more to offer in this sphere; respected. |

25th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Best known for his heroics at Bangor but showed career-best form when winning narrowly at Warwick (3m1f, good) last month; 3lb rise demands even more from him here; usual cheekpieces left off; tongue-tie added. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 5y Class 3 |

Goes particularly well at Bangor but was runner-up at Aintree on final run in October (3m, good); however, a 3lb rise sees him on a career-high mark and he's been off a good while. |

26th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 149y Class 3 |

Made it two wins from his last three starts when scoring at Bangor (2m7f, good) in September; however, his last four wins have come there and he was well beaten at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) last time; has his first run here. |

Usually saves his best for Sedgefield, where he won over fences in April (subsequent fourth was over hurdles); two visits here has produced a second place; no surprise to see him run well. |

Hurdle (including C&D) and chase winner here and won a chase over the equivalent trip here latest, when on the same mark; well treated if able to translate that form back to this sphere; big player. |

10st 4lb |
Won four times on the Flat from 7f-1m2f in Ireland in 2019-20; only moderate form over hurdles but could be worth a market check on return from a long break. |

30th Jan 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |

Quite useful on the Flat in his prime but unplaced all six hurdle runs, most recently pulled up in October 2021; tailed off on Flat the following month and not seen again since; considered only if lively in the betting. |
