6th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
All of his five wins have been gained at Plumpton but he's been well held at that track (2m1f/2m4f) in last three runs; now 9lb lower than for his last success but that that was 14 months ago and others are preferred. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
All his five victories have been gained here but he arrives under a cloud, last of five in 2m1f handicap chase here last month; yard is back among the winners though so not totally dismissed. |

16th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 219y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
All five wins on this track, over hurdles and fences (good and soft); ran his best race for a while over C&D last month, but soundly beaten when last of four finishers (odds-on) here since; reservations now. |

28th May 2023 Good 2m 5f 135y Class 4 |

Still capable of running reasonably well, as he did at Plumpton latest, but it's more than four years since he won; may be vulnerable again. |

14th May 2023 Good 2m 3f 164y Class 4 |

in touch with leaders, ridden after 3 out, briefly went third before 2 out, went third again run-in, not pace to challenge |

23rd Apr 2023 Good 2m 3f 164y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Long in the tooth now and no longer the force of old but was placed in a good-quality Kempton handicap (2m4f, good) in February and also ran well when second here (2m1f, soft) a fortnight ago; sure to appreciate today's significant drop in class; major player. |

19th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 3f 48y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Back from absence in good heart this winter, staying on well to be second in his first 3m handicap, a competitive one at Kempton (soft), and he might well have won at Doncaster since but for a late blunder; up 2lb but has solid claims. |
3/1 |

9th Feb 2024 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Close second at Wincanton (2m4f, heavy) last month on seasonal debut, showing he retains a good chunk of ability aged 11; new trip (belated first crack at 3m) is the question mark. |

18th Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Not far away in a 2m4f handicap chase at Uttoxeter after a long absence but has gone backwards since then; blinkers go on for cheekpieces. |

30th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Returned from a very long absence with creditable fourth in stronger race than this at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in July and has good claims if judged on that performance but two disappointing runs have followed; needs to rebound. |

Regressive form this season; drops back to an easier level but doesn't have the ideal scenario; this front-runner has gained all chase wins in much smaller fields. |

13th Mar 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won twice over fences last summer, but held on his return to the Flat after 193 days off here (1m4f) 11 days ago; may have needed it, but still has enough to prove. |
33/1 |

6th 8 (3) |
2nd Mar 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Useful jumper who won 2m handicap chases at Worcester and Newton Abbot last summer; well beaten in an AW Flat handicap at the start of 2023 but he was quite useful in this sphere at the start of his career, including an AW novice win; possible he'll be using this a prep for a return to jumps but betting perhaps the best guide to expectations. |
33/1 |

2nd Sep 2023 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Took a while to open his account over fences but has bagged two four-runner chases this summer, latterly over C&D (good) 11 days ago despite almost refusing to race and giving the others a big headstart; not without risk, but a 1lb rise ought to be manageable if he gets away on terms today. |

21st Jul 2024 Good 2m 0f 213y Class 2 |
10st 3lb |
Should be well handicapped, likes good ground and returned to form with a pleasing second at Newton Abbot; often takes a good hold so the assured strong pace here will aid his chance. |
6/1 |
|
2nd 7 |
14th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Did not hit top gear during light campaign last season and was well beaten (albeit on soft ground) last month, after a break; on good mark now and might be seen to better effect if the ground stays good here but others have much less to prove. |
16/1 |
|
4th 4 |
22nd May 2024 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Four chase wins (from 14 attempts); has seemingly found himself stranded too high in the weights since scoring at Worcester (2m, good) in October 2022; back to his last winning mark after unseating rider early on at Plumpton last September; fitness is taken on trust. |

24th Aug 2023 Good 2m 3f 98y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Responded to pressure to win at Newton Abbot (2m, good) in June and finished well for 1l third at Uttoxeter (2m, good) last time; this step up in trip is well worth a go and he's one to consider. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 8 |
2nd Jul 2023 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Made a very promising start to chasing career last autumn and doubled his tally over fences with clearcut success at Newton Abbot (2m, good) last month; could still be well handicapped after 4lb rise and promising 5lb claimer Conor Rabbitt is enlisted; might be the answer. |
3/1 |
|
1st 5 |
14th Jun 2023 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Good second at Worcester last month before an unfortunate fall at Southwell; fair effort on AW at Chelmsford recently and, while this represents a sharp rise in class, could well be involved; Sean Bowen on for the first time. |

10st 8lb |
Won easily by 21l off today's mark at Market Rasen (2m1f, good to soft) in April but has lost his way in recent weeks and was pulled up when returned to Market Rasen on Saturday; needs a rebound. |
16/1 |
|

20th Jul 2024 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Won by 21l over C&D in April (good to soft) but more recent efforts have been underwhelming; others have more going for them. |
