25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 99y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Form since upped to 2m4f comprises a handicap win at Musselburgh and fourth-place finishes in Grade 1 events at Cheltenham and Aintree; return to shorter may not be an issue but he ideally needs a drop back in class. |

10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 200y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Proved his stamina when readily defying top weight in handicap at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) in January, and he was disputing the lead entering the straight in the Ryanair at Cheltenham (2m4f, good) last month only to fade up the hill; beaten just over 16l by the winner Heart Wood but today's less demanding track should be a big plus; not ruled out each-way. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Made short work of conceding plenty of weight in his first 2m4f chase - a Musselburgh handicap (good to soft) in January - and with his best sibling staying 3m well, there's a fair chance he'll cope with this much stiffer test at the trip; however, his three previous Festival runs, including a 2m handicap last year, suggest he'll be pushed to play a part in this company. |

3rd May 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Finally exploited his much reduced mark when coming clear at Ffos Las a month ago (2m4f, good to soft), where he reportedly appreciated the drying ground; a 5lb rise might not prevent him from following up. |
5/2 |

1st 3 |
6th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
All three wins in 2022; twice second in the mud at Uttoxeter (2m4f) last spring but well beaten all five starts from November onwards, even when the cheekpieces returned back at Uttoxeter on latest; another career-low mark. |
