3rd 4 |
13th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won a novice handicap chase at Taunton (2m, good) for Joe Tickle in January and fair third over same C&D next time; changed yards last month having had a wind op, and was a well-beaten third of three at Chepstow on stable debut (2m, good); hung right there so this track should suit better. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Able to dominate when cashing in a career-low mark at Taunton in January (2m, good), his sole win in 14 chasing starts; hasn't gone on since, but back to within 2lb of that figure now and one previous wind operation provoked a small spike in form; chance on first start for new yard. |

Off the mark at the 11th attempt over fences at Taunton (2m, good) in January, and he's run well on testing ground in the past; below par on his last two starts but drops back in grade today and could give a good account. |

Two-time winner over hurdles; won easily off 9lb lower at Fairyhouse in November (20.5f, yld-sft); ran better than the bare result off this mark at Punchestown latest (raced wide); best form on soft, however, so could do with plenty of rain. |
