Made all and came home unchallenged in a good-ground point bumper in January, scoring by some 15l; beat only three rivals, none of whom have raced since; clearly has some level of ability. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Three sound runs since cheekpieces went on in February, winning at Market Rasen (2m4f, good to soft) and Taunton (2m3f, heavy) and finishing second at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft); interesting despite stepping up both in grade and in trip. |

2nd 4 |
26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Cheekpieces went on when he won his handicap debut at Market Rasen (2m5f, good to soft) and followed up off the same mark over C&D (heavy; by 8l from Talap) 11 days later, both under Fern O'Brien; 9lb higher this time but surely has a big shout in what looks a weak race. |
5/6 |

1st 7 |
12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Rallied after being headed to lead again towards the finish and make a successful handicap debut at Market Rasen (extended 2m4f, good to soft) in first-time cheekpieces (retained) 11 days ago; escapes a penalty and is 7lb well-in compared to his future mark. |

19th May 2026 Good To Firm 3m 1f 10y Class 3 |
12st 1lb |
Returned from layoff with three below-par chase/hurdle runs in February/March but, having swapped cheekpieces for blinkers, fared much better on last two appearances; lost out only by a nose after making most of the running at Warwick (3m1f, good) last time; can make another bold bid. |
5/1 |
|
2nd 2 |
23rd Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 5y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Back hurdling the last twice after a brief stint over fences; the first time he'd worn these aids combined when a front-running third at Wetherby (3m, good; beaten 4.25l); exposed but firmly in the mix. |
5/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
27th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 26y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Not solid on his chase/hurdles form this year; previously a consistent sort in this sphere and has a fighting chance off current mark back down in grade, provided he's resurgent. |

11st 12lb |
Had two runs in point bumpers, finishing behind Arknell in the first but probably found something on that to be second last week; might not be far away if keeping up the momentum. |

24th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Well beaten in two novice hurdles (2m5f/2m3f) since winning a three-runner point under Elizabeth Feakes in May, but remains very unexposed under rules and has a lowly mark for this handicap debut; watch the betting. |

10th Jun 2025 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
2-21 in points, the latter win gained in three-runner contest on fast ground last month, but soundly beaten when back under rules for Newton Abbot novice hurdle (2m5f, good) last Wednesday. |

Prominent for a long way before weakening into an 11l fifth in a fast-ground point bumper at Larkhill four weeks ago; wouldn't be the obvious answer on the back of that. |

Dual point winner who bettered his disappointing rules debut when very respectable fourth of 14 in good-ground Aintree bumper a fortnight ago; won't be far away if in similar form here. |

2nd Oct 2023 Soft 2m 0f 167y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Comfortably won maiden point by 6l on debut last November but performed very poorly when favourite for Exeter bumper in March; can surely do much better but Harry Skelton rides the stable's other one here. |

26th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 161y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Trainer-owned 5yo who won his British point (3m, good to soft) by a comfortable 6l; runner-up has done nothing for the form but he's joined the right yard to progress under rules. |
