24th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
In-form 8yo who scored at Bangor (3m, good) last month and is now 2-3 since cheekpieces were refitted in April; back up to his career-high mark today but still respected in current mood. |

21st Jun 2025 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
It was effectively a 0-125 in which he was a solid fourth at Uttoxeter last time, and he's back at the same easier level as his win at Kelso (2m7f, good) previously; chance. |

Pushed up 8lb for winning at Kelso (2m7f, good) but he was well on top and won off a higher mark for his previous yard; good chance. |

Five wins when trained in UK but pulled-up in a point and two chases last thrice and not easy to fancy after a break. |

27th Mar 2025 Yielding To Soft 2m 7f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Winner of two bumpers (in 2020) and three races over jumps for Brian Ellison, the most recent in a 2m5f handicap chase at Cartmel last summer, pulled up in a point-to-point at Kildorrery on first start for Ian O'Connor; best watched. |

17th Aug 2024 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |

Kelso and Cartmel 2m5f-2m6f chase wins have been gained from two of his three lowest ever marks; work to do back up 5lb and there's pace rivalry if a repeat of last time's all-the-way tactics is planned. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Back on the lowly mark off which he snapped a long losing run in December 2024 at Carlisle (3m2f, soft); remains to be seen what ability remains on this stable debut following 14 months out. |

13th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |

Got back to winning ways at Carlisle (3m2f) in December but well below par both runs since at Uttoxeter and back at Carlisle; this course winner has something to prove. |

3rd Feb 2025 Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 5 |

Useful in his prime but badly out of sorts on last six starts; had wind surgery before latest; the drop back in trip does not persuade. |

Dual chase winner but not been at his best this season (last twice over hurdles); on a good mark and conditions suit; could go well. |

12th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Useful chaser at his best but didn't fire on either start over fences this season and was unable to land a telling blow when back over hurdles last month; needs to turn a corner. |
25/1 |

20th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Two-time hurdle winner who scored over fences at Wetherby last March; however, this 10yo has been below par in chases on his two outings this season and a return to form is needed. |

15th Feb 2023 Good 3m 0f 45y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Scored twice as a novice chaser last term (2m4f/2m5f) and fared better than the bare result on reappearance (2m3f); pulled up last time but may still have more to offer; first crack at 3m under rules. |

Five-time winner over fences for Ben Pauling and has won all this year's points with authority; needs respecting, though good ground seems ideal. |

18th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |

Better known as a chaser (5-15); has reverted to hurdles since chase falls last summer; outran his double-figure odds when runner-up at Kempton (2m5f, good) in October; toiled on return from wind surgery subsequently; risky after break. |

14th Apr 2023 Soft 2m 5f 28y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Took advantage of a reduced mark on his second run after wind surgery when making all to score by 12l at Newcastle (2m4f, heavy) last month; back up 7lb in the weights but he remains well treated on his best form and is versatile ground-wise; major player again. |

Won four chases in 2011 but hasn't really fired this season; had another wind op last month and is too well handicapped to rule out but needs to up his game. |
