11st 10lb |
Useful sort for Paul Nicholls early in his career; last win was March 2023; tailed off in a Downpatrick handicap hurdle in July on stable debut and has missed all three engagements since; completely out of his depth here. |

Became very disappointing under rules for Emma Lavelle last season and has not shown a great deal in points for new stable this year. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
He won a four-runner handicap at Ascot (2m5f, good) in November but has failed to kick on subsequently, proving no match for Genois and Outlaw Peter when fifth at Exeter (2m3f, good to soft) four weeks ago. |

Won an uncompetitive race by Ascot standards in November (2m5f) and then only fourth of six at Ludlow; fell mid-race back at Ascot last time; bit to prove on the balance of this form in the last 12 months. |

jumped right on occasions, prominent, slow jump 9th, pushed along and outpaced 5 out, ridden before 4 out, soon beaten, hit 2 out |

10th Feb 2023 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Below-par favourite last time but has otherwise been consistent and should bounce back; solid second at Worcester (2m4f, soft; chase debut) the time before and enters calculations on that form. |

19th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 3m 4f 21y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Beat a next-time-out winner to open chasing account at Uttoxeter (3m2f, good to soft) two starts ago and remains lightly raced over fences but didn't fire last time and is seemingly not one to rely upon heavily. |
10/1 |

towards rear, slow jump 4th, reminder after 8th, pushed along 5 out, soon no impression and beaten |

28th Jan 2023 Good To Soft 3m 2f 13y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
On fire when signing off 2021 with a hat-trick in handicap hurdles, the latest off this very mark; made a belated return to fences last time at Taunton (2m7f) and ran okay despite a 21l defeat; this stiffer test should be in his favour. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 54y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Last month's near-5l third at Kempton was his most convincing effort to date both over 3m and on good ground, but also took his record in handicaps off marks in the 120s to 0-8; still needs to find a bit more. |
6/1 |

3rd 4 |
14th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Has won on good to soft and heavy; made light of an absence when winning at Southwell in December but he found little at Ludlow (also 2m4f) last month and has yet to distinguish himself over this far; reservations remain; yard won this in 2019. |
9/2 |
|
4th 3 |
4th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
His second win over fences when returning from a long absence to take a 2m4f handicap at Southwell (good to soft; won on heavy) in mid-December; that race fell apart in behind but a 4lb rise isn't the end of the world. |
11/2 |
