23rd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 20y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Won at Windsor (2m4f, good) on New Year's Day on second start back from an absence and runner-up to progressive winners on next two starts (2m4f, soft); could still have more to offer himself and he's high on the list. |
3/1 |

2nd 3 |
7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 15y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Won at Windsor (2m4f, good) on New Year's Day on second start back from a long absence and close second at Ludlow (2m4f, soft) last month behind one who was completing a hat-trick; Jay Tidball, who has been on board on his last two starts, remains in the saddle; solid claims. |
9/4 |

2nd 6 |
4th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
His second run back from a long absence when nicely on top in the finish at Windsor (2m4f, good; Jay Tidball claimed his 5lb); a 5lb rise isn't overly offputting but he does seem particularly effective on goodish ground. |

28th Aug 2026 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Returned from absence with respectable second of five behind well-handicapped rival at Huntingdon (2m4f, good to firm) in May but was soundly beaten when dropped back to 2m2f at Stratford the following month and probably won't be favoured by rain; others preferred. |
25/1 |

6th 4 |
30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
3-19 over hurdles, the latest coming at Huntingdon last May off 5lb higher; no match for Tyson (down to go in the 7.18) in his repeat bid in May on return from a break, though that was still encouraging; on a workable mark if able to build on that effort. |
12/1 |
|
2nd 5 |
25th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 4f 145y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Won this last year off a 5lb lower mark and he was returning from 192 days off that day, so a break might well have done him good. |

6th Aug 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual AW winner whose most recent success came at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm) last month; below his best at Chester last time but drops back into class 6 company with claims. |
10/1 |

7th 3 (8) |
25th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
This year's four wins have been in Class 6s but it was very clearcut at Beverley (1m4f, good to form) three weeks ago when the cheekpieces were back on; he's still fairly treated off 4lb higher. |

29th Nov 2023 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Fair Flat-racer; well beaten over hurdles this month but finished well to lead close home on recent chasing debut at Doncaster (2m, good); effectively 5lb higher here but, given the Flat ability, could still have a bigger run in him over fences. |
9/4 |
|
1st 9 |
17th Nov 2023 Good 2m 0f 78y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Has some fair Flat form on his CV but his record over hurdles is not inspiring and he's not bred for chasing; 1lb out of the weights here; others have much stronger claims. |
33/1 |
|
8th 14 |
10th Nov 2023 Soft 2m 0f 161y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Has been most competitive on the Flat (stays well) but remains a maiden and achieved nothing in two soft-ground handicap hurdles last season. |

26th May 2023 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Showed no significant promise when a big-priced outsider for three hurdle races last season and is 2lb out of the weights for today's handicap debut but is, nevertheless, worth a glance in the betting. |

27th Mar 2023 Soft 1m 7f 50y Class 4 |

Soon became disappointing after a promising Flat debut in Ireland; nothing positive to report so far over hurdles. |

10th Jun 2025 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Soundly beaten at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good) a fortnight ago, his second run after a long absence, and now 0-13 under all codes; clearly needs a much better performance here. |

28th May 2025 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
No wins in 12 and exposed as modest under both codes; didn't run too badly in a couple of handicap hurdles last summer (on good ground). |
