29th Jun 2025 Soft 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
1-1 over C&D and won twice over 2m at Catterick (soft/good) earlier in year; well held despite making the frame in his last two starts and needs a bit more from this mark. |

9th Jun 2025 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |

Four chase wins, making all in two small fields at Catterick (1m7f, good/soft) last season; remains in good form and he's better over shorter than the 2m4f he ran over here last time. |

Very opposable on the balance of his chase form, especially from 7lb out of the weights. |

24th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 20y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Multiple Flat winner and twice successful over hurdles but has very shaky record over fences in recent years; pulled up at Cartmel one month ago and now 0-13 in this sphere; 2lb wrong today; too risky. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |

Hasn't won since taking a maiden hurdle here two years ago but was running respectably over fences when last seen late last summer; couldn't dismiss him off a career-low mark. |

28th Aug 2023 Soft 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |

Yet to win over fences but has performed with credit in all four chases, the latest a C&D third last month; acts on all ground and chance may depend on effect of first-time cheekpieces. |

14th Oct 2023 Heavy 1m 7f 133y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Four-time chase winner in France but his last success was in 2019 and he's been generally very disappointing in Britain; on reduced mark but he was a remote third at Perth two weeks ago and others are preferred. |
8/1 |

27th Sep 2023 Soft 2m 4f 20y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Four-time chase winner in France but generally very disappointing in Britain; unlucky to come to grief after first fence at Cartmel last month (first-time blinkers) and Brian Hughes is booked again here but he's 4lb out of the weights and remains difficult to enthuse over. |
25/1 |

28th Aug 2023 Soft 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Four French wins (up to 2019) but 0-15 in Britain and some way behind two of today's rivals over C&D last month; Brian Hughes back on board and blinkers the latest aid to be fitted but too many doubts. |

20th Jul 2024 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |

Nine-time course winner, most recently when holding on gamely to make all off this mark last summer; looked out of sorts when pulled up on all three subsequent outings, though, and age may be catching up with him now. |
