11th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 7f 3y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Won at Wincanton (3m1f, good to soft) last March on his second chase start and is now 5lb lower, but he's struggled on his three starts since and may be best watched on this first outing since December. |

Only second chase start when runner-up at Wincanton (3m1f, good to soft) but it was a modest race and he's finished well held at Plumpton since, taking his record to 0-15. |

Won this two years ago and has gained three further wins in the meantime; ran perfectly well off this career-high mark at Chepstow last month; in the mix. |

14th Apr 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Has more wins over fences, most recently at Exeter (3m, good to soft) last month under Ciaran O'Shea; failed to fire 20 days later but he's effective in this sphere as shown when a close second at Chepstow in February; yet to win from a mark this high but should be firmly in the mix. |
9/2 |
|
5th 6 |
26th Mar 2026 Good 3m 6f 136y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Often front-runner; ridden by Ciaran O'Shea on last four starts; 7-22 in chases (one of his hurdles wins was this track) and those wins include his last two completed starts in this sphere, the latest at Exeter (3m, good to soft) three weeks ago; this trip is unknown territory but he ran well over an extended 3m4f at Stratford in 2024; has to be in serious calculations. |
9/2 |

6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Back to form to win a Wincanton chase (3m1f, soft) in December and nearly went in again back over hurdles at Chepstow in a race he won the previous year; nothing wrong with this mark and stable goes well. |

21st Dec 2022 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Has struggled at big prices in three novice hurdles (2m/2m7f), most recently when beaten out of sight here (2m, good; first run after wind op) on his return last month; can only be watched. |
100/1 |

9th 3 |
24th Nov 2022 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
No show in two novice hurdles last term; has had wind surgery; stable's very good strike-rate this season provides hope for better but would need to see market support to consider. |

0-12 under rules; 5l second in an Exeter novice (2m, good) in February; well below par on his last three starts; big improvement required. |

9th May 2023 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
