Began season with small-field chase win at Plumpton (2m3f, good) in October but not seen since a lesser effort over hurdles the following month; can evidently go well fresh but others in this line-up appeal more. |

Useful hurdler/chaser when with Tom Lacey but had very disappointing five-race spell with Stuart Coltherd last season and was tailed off behind Tommie Beau over hurdles here on stable debut in May; can cope with slow ground but needs combination of wind surgery and refitted tongue-tie to make a big difference. |

Exposed chaser with a record of 5-24; below par in his three runs for Kim Bailey but has time on his side to turn things around and he should be well handicapped. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Two small-field wins around 3m on good in the autumn; went off the boil subsequently but very much back on his game when second of 11 at Chepstow 17 days ago; raised 5lb for pulling clear of the rest but it looks justified given the third was successful back at Chepstow last week. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Made all to exploit much-reduced mark over C&D in April and is only 3lb higher today but he's unreliable nowadays and was last of five at Plumpton (3m1f, good) on latest outing four weeks ago. |
8/1 |
|
5th 5 |
26th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Recorded his sixth hurdle win when making all off a reduced mark at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) in April, and his follow-up bid off this mark was respectable back there 20 days ago; capable off this mark but not without risk. |

6th May 2024 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
The cheekpieces had been working well in handicaps at about 2m4f before he came up well short in a strong handicap at Cheltenham 19 days ago; didn't stay 3m here when trying it once before but conditions will be quicker this time and that should help. |

17th Apr 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |

The cheekpieces are working well as he's been competitive in his last three races at about this distance; however, he's come up short in weaker races than this the last twice and Harry Skelton could have ridden him. |

13th Nov 2023 Good 2m 4f 110y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Has a tendency to race too freely and finished tired when reappearing at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft) last month, but is now 2lb lower than when placed in major Ascot handicap (3m, good) last autumn; forecast good ground will suit. |
5/2 |

13th Oct 2023 Good 2m 7f 131y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Career has been very stop-start but always possessed a huge level of ability and on last season's reappearance he finished second in a strong 3m handicap chase at Ascot during this month; returns off the same mark following further wind surgery; has won on soft but kept mostly to goodish ground the last three years. |
5/1 |

7th 1 |
1st May 2023 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 3 |
12st 1lb |
Only just in front of Twenty Twenty when 5l second in this race last year (good), but form of same finishing position in a deep Ascot handicap next time reads well and he retains low mileage for his age; chance. |

27th Jan 2024 Good 2m 7f 214y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Has won a couple of Class 3 chases, three-milers at Ludlow (good to soft) and Kempton (good); has shown that he can live with current mark but the depth of today's race demands a career best from him. |
22/1 |

3rd 3 |
13th Jan 2024 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 2 |
11st 7lb |
Well suited by sharp/flat tracks, as his C&D win (on good ground) last May confirms; Cheltenham wasn't his thing in November and he duly bounced back at Ludlow (3m, soft; close second) last month; solid claims in another favourable scenario. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 2 |
20th Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Dropped away after forcing the pace at Cheltenham a month ago when perhaps in need of the run; struck form in the spring, winning over C&D (good to soft) and following up at Kempton (good); 8lb higher than latterly but only a 7yo with just 11 runs behind him; considered. |

9th May 2025 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |

Once useful for Nigel Twiston-Davies but his long losing run has continued for current yard and ran no more than okay in the first-time visor at Kelso 17 days ago; others appeal more. |

22nd Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Useful over several seasons when trained by Nigel Twiston-Davies; signed off for him with some below-par runs in the autumn and made low-key start for new stable this year but significant positives can be drawn from his run in refitted cheekpieces at Sedgefield (3m2f, good) last month and he has possibilities here if combination of drop back in trip and first-time visor pays dividends. |

Won off a 5lb higher mark last spring for Nicky Henderson; however, form for current yard (three attempts) is far from convincing; change of headgear needs to spark a revival. |
