30th Aug 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
No longer the force of old but returned from break with C&D (good) win off much reduced mark in June and subsequently ran well over fences here; still well handicapped over hurdles and seems versatile regarding ground; no surprise if he features. |
6/1 |

2nd 4 |
4th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Capitalised on a reduced mark over hurdles here (2m1f, good) ten days ago when back from a break; he wasn't running well over fences towards the end of last year but he's a three-time chase winner who is able to run off the same mark as for that recent hurdle win, so is entitled to respect. |

24th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Nine-time winner over jumps, including over C&D last July; out of form over hurdles and fences afterwards but the booking of James King catches the eye and, having dropped to a career-low mark, this 11yo could be a player back from a break. |

24th Oct 2023 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Not firing on all cylinders this year but handicapped accordingly now and has been placed twice this month; suited by today's trip-and-ground combination; ought to be right in the thick of things again. |

3rd Oct 2023 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Quite useful in his prime but has dropped a long way down the weights over the last year or so and did not look poised to capitalise when safely held at Market Rasen (a track he likes) on Saturday. |

2nd Dec 2023 Soft 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won Fontwell maiden (2m1f, good to soft) for Milton Harris last December but he has a mixed record since; wasn't beaten far when third of five at Uttoxeter two weeks ago but he's now 1-11 over hurdles and others are more convincing. |

20th Jul 2024 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Back in good form this spring (placed three times) and didn't run badly when fifth on latest outing three weeks ago, but there are still more obvious options than this high-mileage 7yo. |
16/1 |

5th 2 |
30th Jun 2024 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won four times over hurdles for Fergal O'Brien, the latest a selling handicap off 1lb lower; solid efforts in three Southwell handicaps (2m-2m4f) for this yard and unlikely to be far away. |

Left Nigel Twiston-Davies for £3,000 in May; easy to back, he was well beaten when sixth of eight on his stable debut over C&D ten days ago. |

12th May 2024 Good 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Temptingly treated on the pick of his handicap form at about 2m on ground not too slow; Taunton last time was disappointing (2m3f, good) but coming back to a sharp 2m will help and could run well if his jumping holds up (can make mistakes). |

29th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Badly out of form over fences and on the Flat for the Flint stable this year, and was well beaten in 2m4f Warwick chase for new trainer on Tuesday; needs combination of return to hurdling and refitted cheekpieces to rekindle his enthusiasm. |
16/1 |

9th 1 |
23rd Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Two-time chase winner but last success in this sphere was in 2022 and he's deteriorated considerably since; has switched yards since his last run and is well treated if new trainer can get a tune out of him. |
20/1 |

31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Two-time chase winner who won off this mark over hurdles here last July; however, he's been well beaten over fences and on the Flat on his four outings this year and needs a major turnaround. |

27th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 45y Class 4 |

Pulled up in both starts since opening his chase account in Hereford contest; still seeking first success above Class 5; cheekpieces added. |
14/1 |

15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Perhaps found out by the 3m6f trip at Exeter and heavy ground wasn't ideal when best efforts have been on good to soft or good; again reservations on that score here, but he was running well prior to last time. |
10/1 |

20th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 6f 153y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
4l winner under Freddie Mitchell at Hereford (extended 3m1f) in January on latest outing but 8lb higher today, including 3lb out of the handicap; also not proven on worse than good to soft (had two attempts on soft) and this sort of trip is something new to him. |
