30th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Won five over hurdles for previous yards and three over fences last term for current trainer; may have needed the run when seventh of eight finishers at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) last month after six-month layoff but probably needs to come down the weights. |
6/1 |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Five-time hurdle winner who did well over fences in the second half of last year, with three wins and two seconds; returns after six months off but he's only 2lb higher than for his last success and he has won when fresh in the past; needs close look back over hurdles. |
8/1 |

11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 11y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Record of 2-8 over fences, with both wins gained this summer in small-field handicaps on good ground; put in his place by an improver in a novice last time; dangerous if allowed to dominate (front runs). |

11st 10lb |
Well held when third of five on handicap debut in May (2m3f) and pulled up when fitted with cheekpieces last month (3m2f); drops back in trip with blinkers tried here; not written off just yet but others have much less to prove. |

25th Jun 2024 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
This was the trip for his Taunton win in April (good) and he might have even surpassed that form with his recent seconds over C&D; has the same mark as last time and should have a big say. |

5th Jun 2024 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Good second over C&D 16 days ago ridden by Freddie Gingell, keeping on well; could prove vulnerable for the win back up 3lb but with his chase experience he's likely to be thereabouts. |

26th Oct 2024 Good 3m 2f 39y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Unseated early last time at Perth; it was an ordinary handicap by Class 2 standards that he won at Worcester (2m4f, good) the time before but that was all very straightforward as he jumped well out in front; could catch some of these cold from a fitness perspective. |
