22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Back to form with some respectable efforts this spring but his second at Kempton (2m4f, good) was in a match and he was well held when third here last time; record for current yard is now 0-7 and he looks vulnerable again back up in trip. |

30th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |

Won this in 2023; somewhat resurgent at Catterick this month but in a weaker race than this and he was beaten fair and square in a match at Kempton last week. |

Unconvincing record for current yard; somewhat resurgent at Catterick last time but that effort is well short of his fairly useful best form. |

27th Feb 2024 Heavy 2m 6f 151y Class 3 |
12st 4lb |
Two soft-ground wins earlier in career but minor form on that surface now and unraced on heavy, while his front-running win over three rivals in this race last year came on good ground; can be involved if he does cope with the surface. |

Useful in the past; opened his hunter chase account at Leicester (2m6f, good) in February and subsequent odds-on defeat is better than it looked on the day (winner franked the form next time); respected. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Useful hunter chase form was a long time ago, and he was unable to win any of his last six points; very opposable returned to hurdles, especially at this trip. |

Placed in the 2022 and 2023 renewals of this race and ran well on occasions in handicaps last year for Gary Hanmer; has changed trainers again but clearly won't be fazed by the demands of this assignment. |

14th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Very respectable third in Kempton hunter chase (2m4f, good) in April, after a break, and seemingly in process of running well before falling here (2m5f, soft) last month; not sure to benefit from today's drop back in trip but returns to a handicap on a realistic mark. |

19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Struck for the first time since 2021 with two wide-margin point wins towards the end of 2024 but it's been a struggle since and first-time cheekpieces need to have a fairly dramatic effect. |

Three wins over regulation fences and a multiple point scorer; however, beaten at odds of 2-5 in his penultimate point and was pulled up in the next. |

19th Aug 2023 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Two chase starts since landing a 2m4f point both blighted by a refusal to settle, so some risks attached; current hurdles mark pales next to the mid-130s RPRs he was capable of in Ireland up to mid-2021, however. |
