8th Dec 2023 Soft 1m 7f 216y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Easy win on his handicap and seasonal debut at Wincanton (1m7f, soft) in October and readily followed up off the same mark at Plumpton (2m, good to soft) eight days later, when forced to switch; hit with 12lb rise but could still be ahead of the handicapper. |

Displayed significant improvement on seasonal/handicap debut at Wincanton (1m7f, soft) eight days ago, drawing clear to win quite comfortably by 10l; escapes a penalty here and commands respect. |

Only 1-24, the win coming over this far as a hurdler nearly two years ago; however, twice runner-up over fences this season (2m7f) and capable of going well. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 5 |

0-6 and generally disappointing during first season over fences, signing off with a poor performance in April; returns from six-month break on a good mark, though, and last month's wind op could quite plausibly aid a return to form; cheekpieces (worn for last three runs) discarded. |

Progressive 5yo who doubled his tally for the season when rallying well for Cameron Iles at Worcester (2m, good to soft; first-time tongue-tie) last month; could still have more to offer; respected. |

29th Sep 2023 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Improved to win quite comfortably at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in May, his sixth start over hurdles, and has finished second three consecutive times since; sports first-time tongue-tie today and capable 10lb claimer Cameron Iles is enlisted; likely to be right in the thick of things again. |

23rd Apr 2025 Good To Firm 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |

Recorded his second hurdle win when scoring over C&D (good) in December; had a break after that but he returned to action with a 2l third back over C&D last month; should be sharper this time and he's still unexposed at this trip; respected. |

Ended last season on a low note but ran big race in defeat at Worcester (2m, good) in August, after a break, and is still on a workable mark after a 2lb nudge; handles good to soft ground but may not want it soft. |

21st Mar 2024 Soft 1m 7f 212y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
When a 23l third at Newbury (2m, soft) two starts ago he was behind two highly progressive rivals and he continues to drop down the weights, but positive performances have been scarce this season and he was tailed off at Sandown (1m7f, soft) last time. |

15th Feb 2024 Soft 1m 7f 99y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Has won six times over fences but seems to have developed his own ideas about the game and looks a difficult ride these days; below form this term on both British starts on heavy; latest outing was his best show this season but he needs to better that. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Six-time hurdle winner who hit a personal best when scoring at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft) in January but his form has slumped in two subsequent runs; has bit to prove again and this is competitive on this drop back in trip. |
14/1 |
|

23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 179y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Showed career-best form when comfortably winning from Bourbali at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft) in January and a subsequent lesser effort on heavy ground there is not viewed harshly; has been ridden by a good 7lb claimer lately, though, and might find others better handicapped. |

12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 104y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Has done very well over 2m3f here in recent months, winning twice and second in between; those results were achieved on good/good to soft and today's much deeper ground is a slight concern given he's been below par on both hurdle outings on heavy. |

11st 4lb |
In excellent form over fences since undergoing a second breathing operation, scoring at Wincanton (2m4f) in February before a clear second of seven over that C&D last month; up 2lb but that form is working out well so he's a big player. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Pulled up in his first two starts this season but he returned after another wind operation with a win over C&D (good to soft; tongue-tie added; Hatos second) in February; up 6lb but he remains feasibly treated and has claims if he can back up that last run. |
100/30 |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Went close here (about 2m, good to soft) in December 2024 but he's 0-9 over fences and his two runs this term have been troubling; has his first start following wind surgery, with a tongue-tie joining the cheekpieces of latest start; needs a revival. |
