18th Jun 2024 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won three chases last year from 2m4f to 2m5f when the ground was no slower than good to soft; latest return to chasing at Ffos Las was underwhelming, even allowing for the trip of 2m3f. |
7/1 |

30th May 2024 Good 2m 3f 83y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won three chases over slightly longer trips last year when the ground was no slower than good to soft; current mark won't be easy but this race is a better fit than the novice hurdle he contested last time. |

24th Apr 2024 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Better known as a chaser these days, with three of his four wins in that discipline gained last year; returns to hurdling over a trip short of his best and looks vulnerable. |

9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Difficult times since back from absence last June but he's dropped a long way in the weights and there have been some signs of life; non-stayer over the extended 3m3f at Stratford recently (Carpe Diem runner-up) but he didn't run badly and better is expected. |
4/1 |

3rd 1 |
19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 3f 119y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Back with his former trainer on his last five starts; landed a four-timer for this yard in 2023; hasn't won since and has failed to complete on his last two starts; visor worn last time is left off; well handicapped if able to return to anywhere near his best form. |
5/1 |

25th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Needs to rebound quickly from a poor hurdle run 16 days ago but last month's second over fences at Market Rasen (2m3f, soft) was a pretty good effort and the forecast faster ground here ought to suit him better; big player if first-time visor has desired effect. |

5th Oct 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Kickstarted this season with success at Market Rasen (2m3f) in June but he's twice failed to build on it, beating only one at Newton Abbot (2m5f) last month; others are much preferred. |

raced in second, not fluent 6th, lost second but prominent 7th, weakened before 2 out |

29th Aug 2023 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Formerly very smart and belatedly returned to winning ways in a first-time visor (with tongue-tie returning) over 2m3f at Market Rasen (good); only 3lb higher but that was three months ago and trainer turns to more new headgear now; no certainty to be as good again but strong contender if he is. |

14th Nov 2023 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Bold-jumping front-runner who is best suited by good ground; proved he retains a significant chunk of ability when scoring at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) in July, his ninth chase win, but has become very inconsistent and needs to bounce back from two poor performances. |
14/1 |
