13th Nov 2024 Soft 2m 4f 72y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Exposed chaser with a record of 5-24; below par in his three runs for Kim Bailey but has time on his side to turn things around and he should be well handicapped. |

17th Jul 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Fakenham scorer off 8lb higher just over a year ago (2m5f, good) but with one exception miles below that level since; appreciable rain would diminish his appeal yet further. |
16/1 |

24th May 2024 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Inconsistent and generally regressive 10yo; has claims if judged on his second at Catterick (2m3f, good to soft) in November but two lesser efforts followed that; returns from 108-day break today. |

9th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Useful, four-time handicap chase winner who scored at Ludlow (3m, good to soft) in January on his first hunter chase start; runner-up on next two outings (3m/2m7f, soft/good to soft); this 11yo needs a bigger run today. |
33/1 |

2nd 2 |
20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
Has always been useful; ran in a handicap on debut for this yard and then beat Fil d'Ariane at Ludlow (3m, good to soft); perhaps found soft ground against him when no match for Jeffery's Cross last time and better can be expected. |
6/1 |

2nd 3 |
2nd Mar 2026 Heavy 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
Successful at Ludlow (3m, good to soft) last time on hunter chase debut and second start for new stable, showing he retains plenty of vitality aged 11; this is a weaker race; respected. |

15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
On a career-low mark but very evident that he's not the force of old and the return of cheekpieces did nothing last time; perhaps blinkers will help, as they did aboard the stable's Cheltenham winner Martator. |
20/1 |

1st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Lightly raced in recent years and patently not the force of old but ran well for a long way in Exeter marathon (3m6f, soft) in December and competes off another career-low mark here; cheekpieces (worn regularly in France in 2019) are given another go; not ruled out. |
8/1 |

4th 5 |
26th May 2025 Good 3m 5f 80y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Won novice handicap chases at Hereford (3m1f, soft) and Newbury (2m7f, soft) in 2022 but hasn't won since, although a couple of fair efforts, including over 3m4f last term; on a good mark and could go well. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Four-time chase winner (3m-3m3f), on ground ranging from good to soft; lurks on a dangerous mark but has not been firing on all cylinders this year and has a lot more to prove than some of these. |
14/1 |
|
7th 4 |
8th Jul 2025 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
3m3f Stratford winner last June but recent struggles continued when well beaten in that same race last month, finishing behind Ajp Kingdom and My Gift To You; did run well for a long way though and the return of cheekpieces didn't harm. |
7/1 |
|

31st May 2025 Good 3m 3f 119y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Not firing on all cylinders since returning from a break in March (four runs) but now 5lb lower than when making all for clearcut success in this race last year and the cheekpieces (worn for that success) are now refitted for the first time this year. |

Regressive 10yo who has been pulled up in a Taunton hunter chase and three subsequent points this year; can't be recommended. |
