Very inconsistent and pulled up last time; however, he stayed on well for second in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) at Leicester (2m4f, heavy) two starts ago and is well worth a go at this new trip; a possible. |

Lightly raced and inconsistent since completing a hat-trick in 2023; last off five finishers at Hereford most recently, failing to back up reappearance effort; others preferred. |

11th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |

Four-time hurdles winner for James Moffatt but disappointing during light campaign for that yard last season; encouraging stable debut when clear second of four at Leicester (1m7f, soft) in December; well handicapped on older form, while he's won over this sort of trip and on heavy; considered. |

10st 4lb |
Hasn't got competitive this term and beaten 18l when sixth of eight on stable debut at Kelso (2m1f, good to soft) in February; however, he shaped as though this step up in trip might be a good move and his three wins, including two over fences last January (2m, soft), have all come at Ayr. |

Made fine start to chasing career last term, winning twice at Ayr (2m, soft); won on good to soft over hurdles; faced tough task on reappearance in November but well beaten in C&D handicap (soft) subsequently on final run for Nick Alexander; can be in the mix on stable debut if rediscovering last season's promise; remains in same ownership. |

Following wind surgery he took a step back in the right direction when 11l second over 2m at Ayr this month; needs to build on that latest performance but it's possible the step back up in trip will be a plus. |

Runner-up in a bumper a year ago but hasn't shown that ability in three hurdling starts; hooded when well beaten latest (behind stable companion) and may do better when switched to handicaps. |

12th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 2f 140y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Creditable second to useful rival in Chepstow bumper (good to soft) on debut last March but pulled up after racing too freely on hurdle debut there in November and well beaten after jumping poorly at Ayr last month; ought to be capable of much better at some stage but connections' other runner Hourvari has much stronger claims here; hooded for first time. |

27th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Creditable second to useful rival in Chepstow bumper (good to soft) on debut last March; not seen since flopping badly on hurdle debut there in November (raced too freely and was pulled up) but remains a good prospect and his strength in the betting relative to stablemate Benassi may reveal some clues. |
