Veteran who saw his run of good form come to an end when pulled up in 3m Chepstow handicap chase 30 days ago; it would come as no surprise to see him bounce back returned to this sphere. |

1st May 2026 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Both restricted wins in 2025 were recorded on good, which he's not encountered so far this campaign; interesting on that account, though no previous rules chasing experience and posted both his respective worst hurdle and bumper RPRs at Warwick. |

22nd Mar 2023 Good To Soft 3m 2f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Form dipped on good going last time; largely solid record on slow ground otherwise and there may still be progress to come from him, having had just two handicap attempts; possibilities if he takes well to first-time headgear. |

6th Mar 2023 Good 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |

Unraced on the forecast good ground and he's yet to transfer his useful bumper form to hurdles; however, he was a fair third of 12 behind an easy winner on last month's handicap debut at Lingfield (2m7f, good to soft), and is open to improvement. |

8th Mar 2024 Heavy 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Sole win came in a Ffos Las bumper in April 2022; competitive over hurdles, but yet to prove his worth as a chaser (0-2); has undergone more wind surgery since finishing fourth of eight (beaten 30l) over C&D in January; early days for current trainer Stuart Edmunds. |

Bumper winner and narrowly beaten in a handicap hurdle in January off 2lb higher; latest no-show was over fences in new headgear so best to put a line through that; could go well if taking to the new cheekpieces. |

10st 2lb |
0-11 under rules; kept on well for second over fences at Fakenham (3m, good) in April and didn't run badly on soft ground last month, but makes only limited appeal on this return to hurdling; 1lb wrong; tongue-tie added. |

17th Jul 2024 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 5 |

Fell on his first two attempts over fences, but had the race at his mercy at Newton Abbot (3m2f, soft; from 3lb higher) on the second occasion; has failed to sparkle since - usually labouring in rear - although there was a glimmer of spark at Fakenham over Easter. |

Unlucky not to open his account at Newton Abbot (3m2f, soft) just under a year ago and ran well when fourth at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) on Boxing Day, after a layoff, but was struggling from fairly early stage at Chepstow in January and can't be supported with any confidence after that. |

Overall strike-rate of 1-28 and the win came over fences; 0-18 over hurdles and has to bounce back from some shoddy efforts; in cheekpieces and a visor for the last two and now goes in blinkers. |

Has questions to answer after two disappointing runs in July but is very well suited by this C&D and competes off new career-low mark today; swaps cheekpieces for first-time visor; dangerous to ignore. |

8th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |

Easily best of his last eight efforts came when runner-up at Fontwell (2m5f) last February; favourite when beaten 19l in fourth of five there on sole start this term; the positives are that he's down the weights and, if it's rained here, two of his runs on heavy ground were career-best form. |

Won twice over hurdles (3m-3m2f) for Dan Skelton in 2021 but less productive for this trainer, including when struggling at Fakenham (2m4f) in October; drops back to 2m off a three-and-a-half month break sporting a tongue-tie/cheekpieces combination for the first time. |
