13th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Rather lost his way last season after winning at Newbury in October and last week's Fakenham run was an all-time low; tries a visor this time, but blinkers and cheekpieces did nothing for him. |

4th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Easily won three-runner race at Newbury (2m4f, good) in October but subsequent form last season was underwhelming; well handicapped now (even from 1lb out of the weights) and will probably be okay back at 3m but needs the new cheekpieces to perk him up. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Easily won three-runner handicap at Newbury (2m4f, good) on reappearance; jumped left when 6l third of four at right-handed Ascot (2m5f, good) next time, and his 13l sixth of nine at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft) came in a race that worked out extremely well; heavy going excuses him being tailed off at Warwick and he could go well now back on better ground. |

10th Mar 2025 Good 2m 4f 114y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Bumper/hurdle/chase winner; didn't run up to his best over fences last year (pulled up last two starts); better ground will suit and well handicapped, but plenty to prove. |

2nd Jan 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 189y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
5-17 over fences but his latest win was May 2023 and last year went badly; often wears hood or cheekpieces and now tries a visor. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Infrequent winner, but running well since the turn of the year and his recent Newbury second (2m6f, good to soft) was solid; nudged up 1lb for that but he remains on a workable mark and is high on the list of dangers. |
3/1 |

2nd 2 |
20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 6f 93y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Not overly consistent and can make mistakes, as was the case when the clear leader for a long way over 2m7f here a month ago (soft; fine on good to soft); that was a good run all things considered and won't mind coming back in distance. |
12/1 |

3rd 8 |
17th Feb 2026 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Not overly consistent and can make mistakes; however, ran well for a very long way on testing ground at Exeter before no match for an unexposed winner over C&D; could give another good account of himself. |

11st 2lb |
Three wins last year (2m2f-3m1f, heavy-good) and returned to his best with good second over C&D (heavy) last month in reapplied blinkers (retained); 2lb higher than last time and has solid claims. |

21st Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won twice over hurdles in Ireland in 2020 but was out of form over fences when last seen in February/March 2023 and it's hard to tell how much ability he retains as a 12yo. |

9th May 2023 Good 1m 7f 169y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Scored over fences here in November but below that form since, going too freely in cheekpieces when fifth of eight back hurdling at Bangor in March; he needs to bounce back. |
25/1 |

25th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 123y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Dual chase winner in the autumn (2m1f/2m) but seems to have lost his way a bit in recent weeks; switches back to hurdling on a workable mark but needs a boost from the first-time cheekpieces. |
