9th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Ran well for a long way before fading into fourth at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) last month but is effectively 7lb higher from out of the weights here and it's over three years since his only chase win; tries a new trip. |

19th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 189y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Returned from layoff with two modest efforts towards end of last season (2m/2m1f) and remains without a win since 2023; yet to convince stamina-wise over this sort of trip; difficult to enthuse over. |

Four-time Flat winner and 1-10 over fences; peak efforts were a long time ago now and he was tailed off when third at Huntingdon after 297 days off; 4lb out of the weights. |

Won a handicap chase at Catterick for Alistair Ralph in February 2023; pulled up on first two starts for this yard later that year and not seen since; entitled to need this after mammoth layoff. |

Sole win over fences in Britain came at Catterick last season; however, tailed off at Ludlow when last seen, has stamina to prove at this trip and probably best watched on yard debut returning from 163 days off (bought for £10,000 in August). |

14th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Useful in staying events at the right level for Louise Allan in 2022 but has lost his way and not yet shown signs of finding it again back with former trainer; one to watch for now. |

22nd May 2024 Good 1m 6f 17y Class 6 |

Scored off this mark at Bath two years ago, then ran creditably over C&D; subsequent form (Flat/jumps) is mostly unconvincing; market can guide on first run since rejoining Louise Allan. |

Opened his chase account at Fontwell (2m2f) last April but he's failed to kick on subsequently, well held in second when unseating 2 out at Plumpton (2m1f) four weeks ago; his mark is slipping but more is needed. |

Has modest strike-rate and is very inconsistent but has slipped to a good mark and ran well over C&D on his only previous visit Fakenham; cheekpieces (missing when tailed off at Fontwell last month) are refitted here; can be dangerous if in the right mood. |

Disappointing over hurdles for Gary Moore and was pulled up on chasing debut on final start for him four months ago; stable debut. |

5th Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Flat winner in France; 0-8 over hurdles and pulled up three times (had respiratory issue on two occasions) before his remote fourth in a seller three weeks ago; switch to fences needs to spark a big revival. |

Similar profile to African Sun, having gained sole success over C&D last July; far from certain to repeat that form, having achieved little (over fences/hurdles) this year. |

8th Jun 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won a 2m handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter last summer (effectively off this mark) and he ran some fair races over fences in the latter part of 2022; he hasn't gone with much enthusiasm in two runs this spring though and reverts to hurdling with something to prove. |

Won over hurdles last summer (2m, good) and was second on chase debut at Plumpton (2m3f, good) in September but dropped out tamely at Plumpton last month, after a break, and needs to prove his wellbeing here. |
