Should be well handicapped but he looks cold as ice at the minute and has the most to prove of these. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Versatile sort who won three times (2m2f-3m) in June-September last year; only 1lb higher than for his last success but he's been well held in his last three runs and needs a major revival after wind surgery. |

21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Did well for new stable in early part of season, winning three times under Sean Bowen (2m2f-3m, good/good to soft); returned from break with low-key run last month but has the champion jockey back on board today. |

11st 13lb |
Did well for new stable in early part of season, winning three times (2m2f-3m, good/good to soft); absent since below-par run in the autumn but can play a significant role if fully tuned up. |

20th Nov 2023 Soft 2m 4f 114y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Not as good as he was and when backed at Wincanton (3m, good) a month ago he was found wanting when it mattered; has become very difficult to win with but should still be involved. |

19th Oct 2023 Good To Firm 3m 0f 150y Class 5 |

Not as good as he was; placed twice under Benjamin Macey at Fontwell in recent weeks (2m5f/3m2f) but dropped out without putting up much of a fight on latest start. |

7th Jul 2024 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Well beaten in both outings (hurdle/chase) for new yard this term, taking record to 0-13; has only one piece of placed form; treated as far from solid, unless the betting suggests better is expected. |

19th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Unable to justify strong market support when well beaten on stable debut three weeks ago and now 0-10 over hurdles; drops back in trip and sports first-time cheekpieces for this chasing debut; may yet come good. |
9/1 |

30th May 2024 Good 2m 5f 0y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Placed just once (2m, good) in 11 starts at up to 3m when with Michael Scudamore; returns from a break for new trainer, needing to improve on his last few efforts to have a winning chance. |

19th Oct 2023 Good To Firm 3m 0f 150y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Lightly raced maiden; easy to back at 18-1 and had no excuses when only fifth at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) on his switch to handicaps; pedigree at least offers hope for him staying this longer trip. |

30th Aug 2023 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Just five career starts and now makes handicap debut; no real threat in two British starts over hurdles but may well have more to offer now going up in trip; improvement needed but possible. |

3rd 3 |
28th Jul 2023 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Struggled in two points in a maiden hurdle in Ireland this spring but displayed minor promise when fifth on recent stable debut at Stratford (2m, good) and should have more to offer. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Four-time winner over fences including here (about 2m 3f, good) in 2024; last ran over hurdles when second at Wincanton (about 3m, good to soft) and he returns to this sphere after a couple of errors at Plumpton last month; respected. |

3rd 2 |
16th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 157y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Four-time chase winner (2m3f/3m1f) in 2023 and 2024, two of them here, and shaped promisingly on hurdles return in December after a long absence; left behind a below-par run over fences later that month with a short-head defeat at Wincanton (3m1f, good to soft) last month; back up 2lb but needs respecting with course form. |
3/1 |
|
2nd 5 |
25th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Won three out of four chases in October-December 2024 (including C&D, good to soft; handles softer) and was an encouraging second over hurdles here (about 3m) on his comeback from a year's absence; return to fences didn't go well at Taunton later that month but could bounce back following two months off. |
