Just 1-10 over fences but ran well in defeat in first-time blinkers at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) in August and was placed (over hurdles) on both previous visits to Hereford; no surprise if he features. |

1-8 over fences and mostly running well but he can throw in the odd modest effort and wasn't at his best behind Doctor Foley at Fontwell in May last time out; could well leave that effort behind back today and he needs considering. |

Won three points in spring 2024 but, following a long absence, has been pulled up on all three starts under rules for new stable this season; has too much to prove. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 3m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Won three points in May/June 2024 but then absent until this winter, and he's been pulled up over fences (50-1) then hurdles (33-1) on his two outings this season; a major turnaround is necessary. |

7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 119y Class 5 |

Won three points in 2024 but his rules form has been regressive and he ran poorly over fences on his reappearance/stable debut; blinkers on; carries clear risks. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 54y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Chasing record reads 3-6 following this month's 5l defeat of Loup De Maulde at Wincanton (3m1f, good; RPR 128), and although taking him to a new career-high mark the 4lb rise for that doesn't look an overreaction; no track or going issues, and case looks solid once more. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Made it 2-4 over fences when landing a C&D handicap (good to soft) on Boxing Day; flopped at Doncaster (pulled up) last time but that was in the Grimthorpe and he could resume his progress on this drop back in grade; needs a close look. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 1y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Both chase wins have come in small fields over similar trips to this; he's a strong stayer who might have more to give after only four runs over fences, so commands respect on that alone despite this rise in class. |

Pulled up behind Hardy Buck at Fakenham around Christmas, but a solid recent first outing since took his C&D record to 323, including a neck second in this race last year from further out of the weights. |

Badly out of form over fences last season; hinted at possible upturn in fortunes when running well for a long way over hurdles in March but still has a lot more to prove than some of these, and is 5lb wrong. |

2nd Nov 2023 Soft 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Sole win under rules (20 races) was in a 3m chase at Warwick in April 2021; has dropped a long way in the weights but he's been out of sorts in the last 12 months and needs new headgear to make a big difference. |
