6th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 216y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Progressive for Emma Lavelle last term, winning this off today's mark and backing it up with solid placed efforts; however, he's struggled for this yard (early unseat in Kerry National, pulled up at Chepstow and tailed off at Cheltenham when last seen in October) and now has something to prove. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Five-time winner over fences but got no further than the first in the Kerry National on stable debut and didn't run much of a race at Chepstow two weeks ago; this is a tough race in which to bounce back. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 131y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Got no further than the first in the recent Kerry National at Listowel; has won five times over fences and was mostly consistent for Emma Lavelle earlier this year; wouldn't be that well handicapped but entitled to have a say. |

22nd Sep 2023 Yielding To Soft 2m 1f 0y |

Has done a lot of racing since his last win, two most recent runs provide no encouragement; tailed off in Kilbeggan race in which Irish Blaze was third two week ago. |

13th Nov 2023 Good 2m 4f 110y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Prolific winner (mostly at around 2m on good ground) and fine servant to connections over the years; not as good as he was and didn't run very well on latest outing in September, but should be fine over today's trip and his spring form puts him in the mix. |

21st Jul 2024 Good 2m 0f 213y Class 2 |
10st 3lb |
Should be well handicapped, likes good ground and returned to form with a pleasing second at Newton Abbot; often takes a good hold so the assured strong pace here will aid his chance. |

2nd 7 |
14th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Did not hit top gear during light campaign last season and was well beaten (albeit on soft ground) last month, after a break; on good mark now and might be seen to better effect if the ground stays good here but others have much less to prove. |
16/1 |

4th 4 |
22nd May 2024 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Four chase wins (from 14 attempts); has seemingly found himself stranded too high in the weights since scoring at Worcester (2m, good) in October 2022; back to his last winning mark after unseating rider early on at Plumpton last September; fitness is taken on trust. |

22nd Oct 2023 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Habitual front-runner who gained six of his 11 chase wins here, most recently when fending off Jay Jay Reilly over today's trip in May (good ground; now 2lb lower); getting long in the tooth now and has questions to answer after some disappointing runs during the summer but it won't be a big surprise if he gives this a good shot. |

21st Aug 2023 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Dangerous front-runner on his day, especially at Kempton where he's won six times; can go left-handed but he needs to bounce back from some below-par efforts. |

23rd Jul 2023 Good 2m 0f 213y Class 2 |

Dangerous front-runner on his day, especially at Kempton where he's won six times; can go left-handed but his last couple of runs weren't his best and he now has to bounce back. |

24th May 2023 Good 2m 0f 54y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Can sometimes harm his chance by racing too freely but was a high-class chaser in his prime and proved he retains a significant chunk of ability when close third in Ayr handicap (2m4f, good to soft) last month; drops back to 2m for first time since 2019; respected. |
2/1 |

21st Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Won a Grade 2 at Sandown (2m6f, good) last April and has dropped to an attractive mark; not ruled out but this 10yo has been well below his best on his three starts this season and has something to prove. |
