30th May 2026 Good To Firm 3m 3f 119y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Both wins over fences came in March 2025; his season never took off last term and he arrives here on a career-low mark (11lb below last win); first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces; needs to show more. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 97y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
He's now 13lb below his peak mark but hasn't been at his best this season and didn't show much when back on good ground (3m) three weeks ago; won over 3m7f last March but there may be more solid options. |
14/1 |

26th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
He hasn't been at his best this season but he didn't run badly in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Sandown (3m, soft) recently and could build on that now back on better ground, with last season's two wins coming on good/good to firm; now 6lb below last winning mark; interesting. |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Runner-up off this mark at Newbury (3m, soft) last February but he's not hit the same level since and was beaten 19l back at Newbury (third of nine) last month; overall record is now 1-15 and others are more persuasive. |
7/1 |

3rd 5 |
27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 57y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Consistent over hurdles last season, with best effort a C&D second (soft) just over a year ago; disappointing over fences this term (three attempts; blinkers tried last time) and this switch back to hurdling needs to rekindle his enthusiasm; usual cheekpieces back on today. |
20/1 |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Consistent over hurdles last season; ran well to a point on chasing debut at Bangor (3m, heavy) in November and may have found the good ground too lively when safely held at Doncaster in December; not out of this if change of headgear gives him a boost. |

0-2 in bumpers and now 0-7 over hurdles, having been turned over at odds-on in two of his last three races; travels well but seems very one paced when it matters. |

Runner-up three times, latterly in a soft-ground maiden here last month; returns to this level after finishing midfield in the Imperial Cup (lost a shoe); major form claims in the new cheekpieces. |

17th Mar 2025 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
A soft-ground hurdle winner off this mark at Taunton last February for previous stable but well held on all starts this season for current connections, latest when pulled up back at Taunton last month; sliding down the weights but doesn't look like capitalising on that anytime soon. |

7th Mar 2025 Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Has won over hurdles but below best in four handicaps since returning from a lengthy break, the last two over fences; has 13l to find with Innisfree Lass on latest running; cheekpieces may help. |
8/1 |

9th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won a heavy-ground maiden hurdle last season (2m4f) but has been a long way below that form in three runs after a long break, the latest when pulled up on his chase debut; should be fine over this far with his pointing background but comes with risks right now. |

Modest form in bumpers and he's struggled at big prices in his three runs over hurdles (2m4f); hood worn in last three starts is now removed and he needs a transformation on handicap debut. |

11st 10lb |
Jumped well when scoring on his stable debut at Warwick (2m4f, soft) in late 2024 but he hasn't recaptured that form in three runs following a year's absence, pulling up on his last two starts. |

0-8 over hurdles and not very consistent but his second of eight off today's mark at Lingfield (2m7f, soft) In November was a good effort, and he was only beaten about 3l when third of four in tactical race over that C&D ten days ago; contender if he takes well to fences at first attempt. |

16th Jul 2025 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
All the fences up the home straight were omitted when he narrowly made all in a first-time tongue-tie over 3m here in May (good); found wanting back here a month ago but could still go well if back on song. |

14th Jun 2025 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 5 |

Gamely made all to open account over C&D (good; first-time tongue-tie) six weeks ago, his third start over fences; might improve again but several fences were omitted in that rather unsatisfactory race, and he'll have something to prove if the ground is slower than good today. |

8th Oct 2023 Soft 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
In contention for a place before hanging badly right off the home turn in Stratford bumper in August, but was well beaten before again hanging badly at Worcester last month; sports cheekpieces on hurdling debut; too risky. |

18th Sep 2023 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Beaten more than 20l on recent Stratford debut, when he hung badly off the home bend (beaten at the time); bred to stay well and, while he may well improve for that initial experience, others are more likely. |
