26th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 0f 45y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Third in a point-to-point last month but this 12yo was pulled up when back under rules at Ayr (3m, soft) recently; 7lb out of the handicap and others are preferred. |

18th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 34y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Hasn't been in the best of form in three runs this season (well-beaten eighth of nine over 2m at Newcastle last week); 4lb out of the handicap; blinkers replace cheekpieces; hard to fancy. |

13th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Improved for cheekpieces last season, winning his last two races, both on soft ground at Market Rasen (2m3f/2m1f) in February/March; not hit form so far this season, but on his last winning mark and stable going better now. |

16th Jan 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 19y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
A longstanding maiden until bagging two soft-ground handicap chases at Market Rasen (extended 2m3f and 2m2f) last February/March; pulled up there six weeks ago when back from eight months off but a return to peak efforts would put him in the mix. |

30th Mar 2023 Heavy 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
18-race rules maiden but he's shown some fair form this year and didn't see out 3m here a fortnight ago; 2m4f on heavy ground could be his ideal conditions and he's one to consider off a reduced mark. |

16th Mar 2023 Heavy 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
17-race maiden; fair efforts at Ayr on last two starts; goes well on testing ground, on a career-low mark but yet to prove conclusively that he stays 3m. |

16th May 2023 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 5 |

Safely held on all three outings this year but heavy ground would not have been in his favour on last two occasions; has become well handicapped and is of interest now back on a quicker surface. |

15th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Pulled up over fences on all three outings last year; showed some of his old zest when back over hurdles at Ayr (3m, good) last month but was on the retreat before falling at third-last flight; others preferred. |

8th Nov 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 68y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Won over C&D (good to soft) in March and back on the scoresheet when doing it easily at Perth (2m4f, soft) in September; made two bad mistakes and was pulled up at Ayr (2m4f, good to soft) only on Saturday but remains of interest in view of that penultimate performance. |

Just held on to open account off 2lb lower at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) in March and also ran well on his next two outings (2m5f/3m); has fitness to prove after 133-day break but still enters calculations. |

3rd Mar 2025 Good 2m 7f 91y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Won all three starts at Newcastle (2m and 2m4f; good and heavy) between December and April last season and was back on track when close up here two starts ago; unseated since; didn't appear to want beyond 2m4f earlier in career but times may have changed now. |
