30th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Took the notable scalp of Haiti Couleurs on his chase debut last season and ran well afterwards, including a near miss in this race; poor the last twice (heavy/soft) when tried in a visor but the cheekpieces that have worked well for him are now back on; much respected. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 1y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
Beat Haiti Couleurs on his chase debut last season and mostly ran well afterwards; seems back in fair form, as he went close at Ludlow and ran a lot better than a 21l defeat may suggest when visored for the first time at Wincanton (3m2f); that was his first time on heavy ground and it looked a factor in him getting so tired late on; one to consider. |

3rd 3 |
15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 162y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Beat Haiti Couleurs on his chase debut last season when Isaac Des Obeaux was further back and mostly ran well afterwards; probably needed his first race of the season and he stuck to his task to go down by only a length at Ludlow (3m, good to soft); gives the impression he'll stay all day and a visor could work (replacing cheekpieces; looked lazy at times on that final run). |

Easily best form over hurdles was on the first of four attempts; pulled up on handicap debut at Southwell (3m, good to soft; 10-1) in January when last seen. |

Beaten about 25l when third of five on hurdling debut at Southwell (3m, good) in October and finished well down the field over C&D (good to soft) later that month; not the most obvious answer. |

24th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Both wins over fences have been at Market Rasen (2m5f/3m); struggles with his consistency but if on a going day in first-time blinkers then he's not handicapped out of it. |

Two Market Rasen chase wins since last May but pulled up there in February and well-held fifth of six over 3m here since, taking his Southwell record to 0-7. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 174y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Back from a break with a clearcut win over C&D (good to soft) in December and he's finished runner-up in three subsequent starts; up another 2lb but he had a near-miss at Market Rasen (2m7f) last time and this return to quicker ground is no problem (won a point on good to firm); respected. |

2nd 2 |
17th Feb 2026 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Twice runner-up since his impressive Ludlow return (3m, good to soft) in December, coming clear with the winner over C&D last time (fourth and fifth have won since); up another 3lb, but likely to be bang there once again. |
11/2 |

2nd 3 |
16th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Returned from break with clear win at Ludlow (3m, good to soft) last month and was not discredited when close/clear second off same mark at Hereford (3m1f, good to soft) soon afterwards; 6lb higher now but still respected in current mood. |
