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. |

2nd Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Course winner over hurdles; returned from long absence with low-key hurdle run last month but is now 1lb lower than when scoring on chase debut in May 2024; contender if that recent outing brought him on. |

29th Jun 2024 Standard 2m 0f 56y Class 2 |
8st 11lb |
Flat form took off again last winter with the switch to AW, winning three in a row before his creditable third at Newcastle on finals day, all over 2m; ran respectably on turf in April on latest outing; each-way claims. |

18th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Reserve; won three in a row over 2m on AW early this year; has run well in defeat the last twice, most recently travelling well when finishing fifth back on turf at Newbury (2m, good to soft); he may benefit from this drop back in distance and could give a good account. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Spell over fences featured two wins last June; unable to take advantage of drop to selling level back over hurdles last time but won this contest off 5lb higher 12 months ago (admittedly beat only two rivals) and has a fighting chance provided he's back in similar form. |
5/1 |

28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
A fairly useful winning hurdler/chaser at his best but his form has nosedived and he jumped poorly when last of six in 2m4f handicap chase at Leicester in December; back from a break now and needs it to spark a resurgence. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Front-runner who won two Uttoxeter chases in June (2m5f/2m4f) and returned from 12-week break with pretty good second at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) this month; remains on career-high mark but ought to make his presence felt again. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 48y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Scored in pretty good style at Wincanton (1m7f, good) in November and today's 4lb higher mark is probably workable but not much has gone to plan since and he arrives here with a bit to prove. |
4/1 |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 50y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Good-ground C&D winner in November, despite racing a bit too freely; just over 19l behind Thankyouandplease over C&D this month but his margin of defeat was magnified by a last-flight jumping error and the good to soft ground probably wasn't ideal for him; he has a nice pull in the weights today and the services of top military rider Jody Sole. |
5/1 |

5th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 50y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Scored over C&D (good) in November, despite racing too freely; looked a non-stayer over 2m4f on next outing and had soft ground as his excuse last time but others appeal more all the same. |

24th Nov 2023 Heavy 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
2m1f hurdle winner in France in January; yet to shine for her new stable but she's dropped 19lb in three runs; worth a market check. |

6th Nov 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |

Easily won claiming hurdle on very soft ground in France in January but started off for Alexandra Dunn with two underwhelming novice runs towards end of last season; of interest only if strong in the betting. |
