24th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Long breaks are a feature in his profile and he was returning from another when prevailing narrowly at Stratford two months ago (2m2f, good); if as good again off 4lb higher he'll be thereabouts. |

28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Made light of an absence when scoring at Sedgefield (2m1f) in January 2025 and backed it up with a very good second of five at Plumpton (2m4f) the following month; returns from 13 months off here but can't be ruled out with yard going well. |

27th Sep 2024 Soft 2m 0f 0y |
11st 9lb |
14-race maiden but some good runs over larger obstacles since joining this yard earlier this year; others probably on better marks though. |

13th Sep 2024 Good 2m 1f 55y |
11st 0lb |
Remains a maiden but has been running well in handicap chases since joining Gordon Elliott, third at Downpatrick and Tramore and sent off favourite when runner-up behind the reopposing Just Jacob last month; 7lb pull in the weights with that rival now. |

2nd 4 |
18th Aug 2024 Good 1m 7f 140y |
11st 6lb |
Maiden under all codes but two solid efforts in handicap chases, C&D third in April and only lost second late on over 2m4f at Downpatrick; faded tamely (unbalanced) at latter venue since in beginners' contest; return to handicap company to suit and one to consider. |

9th May 2023 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Has run with credit since beating 16 rivals at Doncaster (2m1f, good) in January; just 2lb higher than for that win, but he is fairly well exposed now and vulnerable to an improver. |

12th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
His form has been up and down and he was a soundly beaten third at Doncaster (2m, good) last month; however, prior to that he won a big-field handicap over that C&D (good) and was runner-up on soft ground earlier in the season; capable of a bold show if at his best. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Won at Cartmel (2m1f) in August but form has slumped badly since and he has shown no sign of a revival in two runs since returning from a break in April. |
66/1 |

8th 10 |
14th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Back to winning ways at Cartmel (2m1f) in August but his form has nosedived since, beating just one after a lay-off at Sedgefield (2m1f) 13 days ago. |
33/1 |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Scored at Cartmel (2m1f) in August but largely out of sorts subsequently, pulled up in 2m3f Carlisle handicap in November; lots more is needed after a layoff. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 70y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Reserve; Venetia Williams and Lucy Turner combined to win this at 40-1 in 2022 and this fellow was in pretty good heart over 3m this winter; however, today's stiffer test of stamina poses a question and he was soundly beaten at Ascot (3m, good to soft) last time; wears first-time cheekpieces. |

14th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 185y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
Has posted consistent efforts over 3m of late but gives the impression he ideally needs a drop back in trip, especially when conditions are testing; yet to win beyond an extended 2m6f. |
14/1 |
|
2nd 6 |
31st Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 42y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Has done his winning at up to 2m6f; not disgraced over 3m the last twice but gives the impression he ideally needs a drop back in distance, at least when conditions are testing; strong suspicion he's going to be outstayed. |

29th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Well held in two chases and one back over hurdles on latest three starts; won at this time last year (in first-time cheekpieces) after a bleak spell so lightning could strike twice as she now sports a visor. |
7/1 |

18th Mar 2023 Soft 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Unknown quantity at present as she had a very stiff task back hurdling last week after two modest chase runs, but she won this off a similar mark in 2022 (soft) in first-time cheekpieces and this headgear switch could suit; worth considering. |
9/2 |
|
6th 3 |
12th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Well beaten over fences the last twice but good ground may not have suited last time and she's not ruled out now back on a slower surface over hurdles, off a mark just 1lb higher than when winning at Uttoxeter (2m, soft) last May on her latest attempt in this sphere. |
