2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Two wins last season, the second off 3lb lower over C&D in October (good); hasn't been in quite such good form in 2026, but has had a break and can't be rule out. |

Five chase wins, the latest off 5lb lower at Hexham (3m, good) in October; creditable second to very progressive rival at Wetherby (3m, good) on next outing but form has slumped since (hurdling last time). |

Stays at least this far and was in good form over fences for most of last year, but he has a bit to prove against younger rivals on his first start over hurdles in almost three years. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Record of 1-20 over fences and was disappointing last time, but he was placed three times in a row here (1m7f-2m4f, good to soft) in the spring; had wind surgery since his last run and could be dangerous back at this track on his return; cheekpieces reapplied. |

Has modest 1-19 strike-rate over fences and fell here when last in action but was placed three consecutive times off today's mark at Hexham (1m7f-2m4f, good to soft) in the spring; considered each-way. |

No win since scoring at Musselburgh (2m4f, soft) in February 2023, but has finished runner-up four times since, including to Kicksaftersix at Hexham (2m) last summer; was "never travelling" when last in action at Musselburgh three months ago; no issue with the forecast conditions. |

Fair second here (2m, soft) last month when 6lb out of the handicap and runs off his proper mark today, which is the same as when winning this 12 months ago (soft); strong contender. |

13th May 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Well below best form last season but last week's sixth at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft) was a good step back in the right direction; should be fine over today's longer trip and might be boosted by a change of headgear. |

6th May 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |

Both chase wins came on soft/heavy in March 2022; only 1lb higher than his last winning mark but not been in the best of form this year. |

8th Apr 2023 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Dual chase winner last season, the first over C&D (heavy); hasn't been in such good form this term but has become well handicapped as a result (3lb above last winning mark). |

0-14 in points and 2-29 under rules, with chase record 0-6; very opposable on what he's been showing of late in handicap chases. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Career record reads 2-42 including 14 starts in points; finished a very long way behind Wheresmemoneygone at Perth (3m, good) last month, but even a huge weights swing makes him hard to fancy; tongue-tie returns. |

3rd Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |

Second of four in C&D (good) hunter chase in May, but the form isn't anything to go wild about and he was pulled up when back in a handicap at Hexham last month; others look much stronger. |

Won first race since 2019 when scoring by nearly 10l here last time (good to soft, Cudgel well back in sixth but 12lb better off); now 10lb higher; acts on heavy ground; worth considering. |

Ex-Irish; has won three chases for this yard, the latest at Carlisle in April 2022 (2m5f, good); creditable fourth over hurdles from well out of the handicap on same track last month, but went up the ratings following that and others now look better treated. |

Not the most reliable these days but was under 5l away in a C&D handicap three weeks ago when a stone out of the weights (behind Masked Crusader); remains to be seen if that flattered him and he's off the same mark here. |
