1st Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 2f 1y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Big progress as hurdler initially last term (2m4f-3m) and also won handicaps when switched to chasing for first two starts this season (up to an extended 2m5f); 12-1 but unseated early for 3m Grade 1 novice at Kempton on Boxing Day (has similar Cheltenham entry); has a question to answer with new trip but, barring mishaps, best days are still ahead of him. |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Reappeared with a win at Warwick (2m4f, good to soft) on New Year's Eve and 8l second at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) since behind a rejuvenated winner; has won on soft/heavy ground; could give another good account. |

Gained second win over fences when scoring at Warwick (2m4f, good to soft) last time; up 5lb but has won on testing ground so further rain would suit and one to consider. |

2nd Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 118y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Up against it behind a big improver on handicap debut at Southwell but still a promising third; although others appeared to be going better over that same C&D four weeks ago, it was he who stayed on best to win going away; has further to go today but looks a stayer in the making. |

6th Mar 2023 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |

Six-race maiden; made an encouraging handicap debut in C&D event on good ground last month and the winner boosted that form by following up next time; open to further progress at this level; respected. |
7/2 |

3rd 7 |
8th Feb 2023 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Only third best on merit and didn't achieve huge amount when remote second in 2m course maiden in November, and well beaten over that trip here later that month; however, moves up to 2m4f for today's handicap debut and may yet deliver on promise shown in good-ground bumpers. |

Useful in staying events at the right level for Louise Allan in 2022 but has lost his way and not yet shown signs of finding it again back with former trainer; one to watch for now. |

Scored off this mark at Bath two years ago, then ran creditably over C&D; subsequent form (Flat/jumps) is mostly unconvincing; market can guide on first run since rejoining Louise Allan. |

Soundly beaten in first two handicap hurdles but was clear second at Southwell (3m, good to soft) in March, having been heavily backed; not in same form when returned to Southwell last month but will be dangerous if back on song in first-time cheekpieces here. |

11st 2lb |
Career best when winning by 11l over 2m5f here in January (good to soft) and for whatever reason he didn't turn up at Newbury (2m4f; handles soft); has to bounce back from that but wouldn't put it past him; there are niggling stamina doubts at this trip, however. |

17th Feb 2026 2m 4f 118y Class 4 |
