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. |
9/2 |

4th 1 |
6th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Recorded his sixth hurdle win when making all off a reduced mark over C&D (good; 4-1) three weeks ago; back up 4lb but remains well treated on old form and is versatile ground-wise; key player. |

28th May 2023 Good 2m 5f 135y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Didn't look entirely convincing in early efforts over fences but came good at Leicester in February (three ran); only 1lb higher and could take a leap forward now that he's shown that he can win a chase. |

16th Feb 2023 Good To Firm 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Three hurdle wins but didn't set the world alight in chases last summer/autumn, despite being placed three times; this first attempt beyond 2m4f, on return from four months off, needs to bring out improvement. |

28th May 2023 Good 2m 5f 135y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Still capable of running reasonably well, as he did at Plumpton latest, but it's more than four years since he won; may be vulnerable again. |
7/2 |
|
3rd 5 |
14th May 2023 Good 2m 3f 164y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
in touch with leaders, ridden after 3 out, briefly went third before 2 out, went third again run-in, not pace to challenge |
9/2 |
|
2nd 1 |
23rd Apr 2023 Good 2m 3f 164y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Long in the tooth now and no longer the force of old but was placed in a good-quality Kempton handicap (2m4f, good) in February and also ran well when second here (2m1f, soft) a fortnight ago; sure to appreciate today's significant drop in class; major player. |
