21st Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 52y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Has been racking up the places since completing a hat-trick two years ago, a sure sign that he's high in the weights; however, again ran well at Exeter (2m7f, good to soft) last time and finished just ahead of last week's Pertemps Final runner-up Jeriko Du Reponet; raised another 2lb for that but he's very solid. |

9th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 25y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Completed a hat-trick in spring 2023 but has been chalking up the seconds since; two of those have been at this track in this race last year and a 3m chase on penultimate start (has worn cheekpieces this term); form dipped at Windsor latest and he's probably vulnerable if back on song for this return to hurdling. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 150y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
No longer the force of old but returned from 342-day absence with a pretty good third at Taunton (3m, good to soft) last month behind two next-time-out winners and competes off the same mark here; respected. |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 198y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
No win under rules since 2019 (he took a point in 2020) but he's well down the weights and competitive often enough, including at Newbury last March on latest start, to be considered each-way even though he may have a bit more to prove at his age first time out. |

21st Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 52y Class 4 |

Still in touch when unseating four out at Ascot last time (2m7f, good; 50-1) but it was still a long way from home; hasn't won under rules since 2019 and much-reduced mark looks justified. |

Yet to finish out of the frame; creditable third to one completing a hat-trick on first run over 3m at Taunton last time; has won on good/soft; a possible. |

27th Jan 2024 Good 2m 7f 214y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Bounced back quickly from a disappointing run (in cheekpieces) to open chasing account in first-time blinkers at Wincanton (3m1f, good to soft) last month; not one to rely upon heavily but recent 4lb rise ought to be manageable if he responds well to a first-time visor. |

26th Dec 2023 Good To Soft 3m 1f 30y Class 3 |
12st 2lb |
Very respectable third on seasonal/stable debut at Huntingdon (2m7f, good to soft) last month but ought to have been suited by the soft ground when pulled up at Ludlow three weeks ago and today's headgear switch needs to perk him up. |

28th Jul 2024 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
11st 8lb |
Back to the same mark off which he won on good ground over C&D just over a year ago and, next time out after a 5lb rise, he was going best in this when unseating two out; lost his way later on but there were positives to take from his fifth over C&D in May; could easily be in the shake-up. |

14th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Triple hurdle winner who is 3-9 over fences but he's been pulled up in last three runs and latest was over C&D (heavy) two weeks ago; that was after a lengthy absence but he's now an 11yo and he needs a big turnaround. |
12/1 |

29th Jan 2026 Heavy 3m 1f 30y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Record of 3-8 as a chaser but confined to just three races last season and wasn't anywhere near his best (including when pulled up behind Collectors Item); now an 11yo so perhaps asking a bit much for him to rediscover his peak form; has won on heavy. |

21st Mar 2025 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
3-7 over fences; ran well when third (albeit well held in the end) in valuable Haydock handicap (3m1f, soft) on seasonal debut in November but was pulled up when last in action and the forecast good ground may not be ideal for him here. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Has patchy profile but he's well handicapped on his Taunton second (2m3f, good) in December and he may have needed his reappearance run at Hereford this month; this step back up in trip is no problem and he's one to keep an eye on for in-form yard. |
11/2 |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Has become hard to predict, as his 16l fourth at Taunton (2m3f, good) in January would suggest, having failed to back up a decent effort there the previous month; back on his last winning mark and could play a leading role if at his best. |
7/2 |

24th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Won big-field handicap off today's mark here (2m5f, good to soft) in November 2023 and was creditable sixth of 25 at Punchestown festival (2m3f, yielding) in April but his record between those two runs if very mixed and he's not an easy one to predict. |
