11th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 214y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Enjoyed a revival when fitted with cheekpieces towards end of last year, winning by wide margin at Southwell (2m, good) before creditable seconds at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) and Cheltenham (2m4f, good); major player if returning from two-month break in similar form. |

Improved form with cheekpieces applied the last twice, winning at Southwell then second at Chepstow, both over 2m; worth another go at 2m4f; open to further progress over fences and in the retained headgear. |

13th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Generally in good form for this yard over fences and was in the process of leaving behind a pull-up over hurdles when falling in a handicap chase at Cartmel two weeks ago (2m1f); it was four out so still some way from home, but he's firmly in the reckoning. |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Ended a 17-race losing run on his third start for this yard when scoring by 12l in a first-time visor at Market Rasen (2m3f, good) nine days ago; still well treated on older form despite an 11lb rise, but needs to bounce back after pulling up over hurdles here on Friday. |

27th Jun 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Came good for new stable at third attempt, with 12l success over fences at Market Rasen (2m3f, good; first-time visor) a week ago; only 1lb higher for this return to hurdling and won't mind if there's rain about; major player. |

21st Jun 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Placed over fences at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft; wore cheekpieces) in April but ran poorly over same C&D a fortnight ago and now switches back to hurdles in new headgear; on good mark now but can't be trusted. |
10/1 |

6th Jun 2023 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Won small-field chase off 10lb higher a year ago and looked back in good nick when travelling menacingly well for a long way over C&D in April; however, he ended up well held in third after a disappointing finishing effort on that latest outing and his overall profile remains unconvincing. |

18th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Back in good form this spring, most notably when keeping on well for narrow win at Warwick (2m3f, good) two starts ago; not yet fully exposed over this sort of trip and probably still on a workable mark; likely contender. |

10th May 2025 Good 2m 5f 0y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
His second run back from a lengthy break when emerging from off the pace to win narrowly over 2m3f here (good; 5lb lower) and there could be more to come over this far, as he's very lightly raced for a 9yo. |

2nd Jul 2023 Good To Soft 2m 1f 61y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Lightly raced and generally disappointing since shock hurdle win on stable debut in 2020 but has dropped a long way down the weights and will appreciate today's ease in grade; may yet turn things around. |

12th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Wide-margin 150-1 win in novice hurdle at Wetherby in December 2020 but she failed to go on from that and following an absence she has failed to threaten on her three starts this winter, the latest back over fences. |
16/1 |

11th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 214y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Lightly raced and has a very mixed record since wide-margin hurdle win in December 2020 but had excuses when pulled up on chasing debut in 2021 and gave good account of herself when third (albeit well held in the end) in Listed hurdle at Sandown (2m4f, soft) last month; not out of this. |

took keen hold, led, headed but prominent before 10th, pushed along and lost position before 5 out, struggling when not fluent 4 out, pulled up before 3 out |

21st May 2023 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Very lightly raced since winning two novice hurdles in summer 2020 and was soundly beaten on chasing debut in February; had another wind op (his third) soon afterwards; current ability very hard to gauge. |

11th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 214y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Dual 2m4f hurdle winner (once here) on good ground in summer 2020; made low-key reappearance on soft ground here in November and not seen since but has slipped to a tempting mark for today's chasing debut; well worth a glance in the betting. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Only seen twice since making all in a 2m4f open point under Imogen Mathias one year ago, and would have run the winner closer than around 3l at Newton Abbot latest (2m5f, good to soft) but for whacking two out; 1lb rise is very fair. |
4/1 |

3rd 2 |
4th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
2m4f point winner who's done most racing under rules over shorter; tough task in a C&D hunter chase when last seen ten months ago and, while better off into ordinary handicap company for his new yard, it's possible he'll need this at his age. |
12/1 |
