1st May 2026 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
More than 5l too good in a Stratford novice hunter in March (2m5f, soft) despite whacking the last, and no shame since when second at Lower Machen giving the prolific Fumet d'Oudairies 3lb; could argue he's marginally more compelling at sub-3m trips, but among the likeliest even so. |

11st 12lb |
Dual bumper winner; has won three points, two of them this season; has since finished runner-up to a 1-3 shot in a Leicester hunter chase (2m4f, soft; first two well clear); chance. |

13th Mar 2024 Soft 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Form has dipped markedly in bumper and Flat contest since joining new yard, taking overall record to 0-6; big turnaround is required on hurdles debut. |

13th Nov 2023 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Form dipped markedly on latest bumper start (debut for new yard), taking overall record to 0-5 (including points); bred to be suited by this new scenario but others are preferred on form. |

24th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 25y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
First past the post in the same novice handicap at Taunton (2m2f, soft/heavy) in two of his three chase attempts, last time comfortably making amends for being disqualified a year earlier (banned substance found in sample); may have more to offer over fences; shortlisted. |
6/4 |

3rd Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 2f 40y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Won this race readily (soft ground) on chasing debut at year ago, only to be disqualified after testing positive for a banned substance; made low-key reappearance on good ground here in December but still features prominently in calculations. |
