9st 9lb |
Has form figures of 2121 in 1m6f/2m contests on AW, the latest performance here two weeks ago when taking his record under George Eddery to 2-4; not fully exposed beyond 1m4f; very solid claims. |

Multiple winner at up to 2m, including here (1m6f); well beaten at Catterick latest but he has shown enough on several occasions this year to suggest he can be competitive back here from this handy mark. |

22nd Feb 2024 Standard 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb
|
Won over hurdles in November but no Flat success since July 2018; 5lb lower than when fourth of nine at Wolverhampton (16.5f, Tapeta) in December, but well held in three starts (AW/hurdles) since; others more solid. |

18th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 5f 66y Class 6 |
9st 5lb
|
His AW wins were all in 2017; won twice over hurdles in 2023 and penultimate start (Wolverhampton 2m) showed all is not lost on AW, but he ran poorly (14-1; made most) with blinkers reinstated over C&D one week ago behind two of today's rivals; others look a bit more solid. |

6th Sep 2023 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
10st 2lb |
7yo who was well held at Salisbury (1m6f) last month but that was after a creditable third on Tapeta at Wolverhampton (2m) and he won at Lingfield in June; still looks feasibly treated on that form and he's not ruled out back up in trip. |
10/1 |

10th Aug 2023 Good To Soft 1m 6f 44y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
First turf success at Lingfield (2m, good to firm) in June but, not for the first time, he was well beaten on good to soft next time and his latest third was on AW; the state of the ground is clearly important. |

10st 6lb |
Three AW wins in 2023, over 1m5f and 2m here and 1m6f on Tapeta; slow to find form since back from absence and although his latest run at Bath was better, others have less to prove over 1m2f. |

20th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Tends to ruin his chances by pulling too hard, as was the case when third at Wolverhampton (1m6f) last time but that was a fair effort all things considered in the first-time visor (retained); needs to settle but won off 11lb higher in March 2023 (AW, 1m6f) and has a big run in him; considered. |

Two wins and a number of places to his name over hurdles; only 2l away on the AW 16 days ago when returning from a year off; handicapped to go well. |

8th May 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Doubled his tally over hurdles when winning at Bangor last April and he was placed there on his next start; disappointing at Aintree when last seen 357 days ago and he's best watched on his return to this sphere. |
16/1 |

16th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 103y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Doubled hurdling tally with clearcut win at Bangor (2m, good) last month and was placed off today's mark there (good to soft) a few days later; Sean Bowen takes the ride today; likely contender again. |
