30th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
No longer the force of old but returned from break with C&D (good) win off much reduced mark in June and subsequently ran well over fences here; still well handicapped over hurdles and seems versatile regarding ground; no surprise if he features. |

2nd 4 |
4th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Capitalised on a reduced mark over hurdles here (2m1f, good) ten days ago when back from a break; he wasn't running well over fences towards the end of last year but he's a three-time chase winner who is able to run off the same mark as for that recent hurdle win, so is entitled to respect. |

24th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Nine-time winner over jumps, including over C&D last July; out of form over hurdles and fences afterwards but the booking of James King catches the eye and, having dropped to a career-low mark, this 11yo could be a player back from a break. |

11st 2lb |
Fairly treated on the pick of his better efforts and they were not that far away; shaped with renewed purpose when a respectable fifth back over hurdles at Sligo a fortnight ago and a repeat of that performance back over fences would put him firmly in the mix. |

12th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 166y |
11st 12lb |
Hasn't run over hurdles since late 2024; after nine months off, gained second Downpatrick chase win last July, so latest layoff not a concern and he's 15lb lower in this sphere. |

16th Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 128y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
He's 8lb higher than when winning at Warwick (2m, good) in May but posted some good efforts in defeat in handicaps subsequently and ran as well as could be expected in a Grade 2 last time; each-way claims. |

10st 13lb |
Seemingly revitalised by a wind op in early part of this season (unlucky not to complete a double) and has held his form well since but will probably find others in this field better handicapped. |

2nd Jul 2023 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Long absences in his career but retains plenty of his ability judged on fifth of 12 at Ludlow in May; latest start (12 days ago) was voided early on; unraced beyond 2m; not entirely dismissed. |

21st Jun 2023 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Long absences in career but retains ability, as he showed when fifth at Ludlow last month; would have a live chance if appearing here. |

10th Jun 2023 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Unplaced in his first six starts but the seventh saw him land a significant gamble over C&D in April (made all); unable to repeat the feat next time but still ran respectably; probably needs shade more in this company. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
20th May 2023 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Of the mark (seventh attempt) with a front-running win under Jay Tidball in a Bangor handicap (2m, good) last month; up 7lb but he landed a gamble with that clearcut success and is open to more progress; highly respected. |
