6th Sep 2025 Good To Firm 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Ran fairly well when fourth on last two hurdling starts at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good) but it's over two years since his last win in that sphere and this Flat-bred 9yo has left it late in the day to begin his chasing career. |

21st Aug 2025 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Dual 2m5f hurdle winner here in summer 2023 but has largely struggled since; however, he took a good step forward with a tongue-tie added when fourth over C&D last month dropped to this level; well treated on best form and has possibilities, especially if recent wind surgery has a positive effect. |

14th Jul 2025 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Yet to add to his two 2m5f novice hurdle wins here in summer 2023 and returned from a break with two very disappointing runs last month; needs first-time tongue-tie to make a big difference. |

25th Jun 2024 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Out of a sister to the stable's top-class chaser Cue Card but hasn't progressed since twice finishing runner-up in 2m5f non-handicaps here last summer; underwent wind surgery before falling at Wincanton when outpaced at the time, though that was on soft ground; tongue-tie tried last time is retained and he might yet turn a corner. |

12th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Maiden hurdle winner; 0-12 over fences but placed a good few times but took a backward step last time when beaten 45l at Fontwell (3m2f, good); first-time visor replaces cheekpieces with tongue-tie retained; has a bit to prove. |

1st Mar 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |

Won a maiden over hurdles but tailed off in his two handicaps and chasing is more his game these days; has been running well in that discipline, though, so couldn't put a line through him. |

Dual point winner who bettered his disappointing rules debut when very respectable fourth of 14 in good-ground Aintree bumper a fortnight ago; won't be far away if in similar form here. |

2nd Aug 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 14y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Won over hurdles on stable debut at Warwick in May and reportedly made a respiratory noise at Market Rasen the following month; little to suggest this different discipline is likely to suit, though. |

14th Jun 2024 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Poor form in bumpers and over hurdles for Alexandra Dunn, but finished off strongly to score from 5lb out of the handicap on first start for this trainer at Warwick (2m5f, good; 16-1) a fortnight ago; that was a solid building block; up to 3m, with prospect of further rain the risk-factor. |

Well beaten in a bumper in January (for James Ewart) and looked badly in need of the experience when pulled up on this month's stable/hurdle debut (lost touch by halfway); cheekpieces now fitted. |

Made all for wide-margin maiden point win in April (good ground) but ran out on next appearance in that sphere and dropped out very tamely after racing too freely in 2m5f novice hurdle here on recent stable debut; risky. |
