8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 5y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Returned to form with creditable second at Southwell (2m4f) last time but looks unlikely to go one better; the 10yo faces a difficult task against several younger rivals who are open to further improvement. |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
All wins have been on good ground, latest at Worcester in May (2m7f); below-par two runs since and bit to prove at present. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 3m 1f 5y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Burst back to life with 15l win at Worcester (2m7f, good) in May; absent since and up 11lb, which puts him on clear career-high mark at the age of nine; also has a slight query on this forecast soft ground but Harry Skelton retains the ride; should be in the mix if ready to go. |

2nd Mar 2023 Good 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Took a while to strike form after returning from long absence this season but finished well to go close over C&D (good; front pair clear) last week and is back in action before a 5lb rise takes effect; respected. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 7 |
22nd Feb 2023 Good 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won in June 2021 on final start for Paul Nicholls; not seen again until October 2022 and latest run (first-time hood) was a step back in the right direction; needs another and the step back in trip may well help. |
25/1 |

7th Feb 2023 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won final start for Paul Nicholls in June 2021 but seen only twice for this yard since, pulled up over hurdles in October and well beaten on AW since; best watched in first-time hood. |

25th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Irish point winner; fairly consistent over hurdles and did well to finish third on his handicap debut at Ludlow given that he hung left-handed; should improve on that form. |
3/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
2nd Mar 2023 Good 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Irish point winner who has made the frame on all three hurdling starts, most recently when remote second behind an exciting prospect at Southwell (2m, good) in January; open to improvement in handicaps and one to consider. |
9/4 |
|
2nd 2 |
29th Jan 2023 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Irish maiden point winner, beaten 14l and 21 in his two runs over hurdles; this looks no easier; has had a wind op and is now tongue tied. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Placed on final three outings last season, most recently when third of ten at Taunton (3m, good) in March; remains on career-high mark for this reappearance but won't be far away if fully tuned up. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 1 |
10th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Back on track with two good seconds this winter, the latter at Lingfield (2m7f, soft) last month, and ought to handle the faster ground here; can make his presence felt again. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 3 |
20th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Dual hurdle winner who got back on track with a second at Hereford (3m2f, good to soft) in December and the first three pulled well clear in that race; looks interesting off unchanged mark and he's still unexposed as a stayer. |

22nd Apr 2024 Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Nine-race maiden who has been pulled up in two staying handicaps since returning from another long absence; out of the weights on this big drop back in trip and can only be watched; cheekpieces added. |

24th Aug 2023 Good 2m 5f 135y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Continues to operate below the level of his two 2021 Newton Abbot juvenile hurdle wins, mistakes confining him to the rear-division throughout his recent chasing debut (2m4f, good); 5lb drop is not persuasive. |
14/1 |
|
7th 3 |
1st Aug 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Both wins in 2m1f hurdles at Newton Abbot in the summer of 2021 but his form since returning from 16 months off last December has been very ordinary; has much to prove now chasing. |
28/1 |

27th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
After a break he's been tailed off behind Wee Alki and here on Monday faded into sixth over 2m6f; others preferred. |
16/1 |
|
6th 2 |
25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Made all over 2m1f here (good) last July and came second here on next two outings (2m6f/3m1f); probably needed recent reappearance run and has a big role to play if back on song. |
5/1 |
|
12th 3 |
2nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Three sound efforts on last three starts last summer (good/soft), winning over 2m1f at Cartmel and finishing creditable second over 3m there on final start; off for 252 days and likely to be better for the run. |
12/1 |
