12yo; won at Hexham (2m4f, good) in June and third there in August (2m4f, good); mistakes may have been costly when tailed off at Kelso (2m5f, good) latest and he's not written off, but others are more compelling. |

22nd Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 86y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Won at Musselburgh (2m4f, soft) on the first day of 2024, registering a career best; absent 334 days afterwards and he's weakened out of it on all four starts this season but latest was a step back in the right direction and he's dropped in class; tried cheekpieces penultimate start (they now return) and he's unproven beyond 2m4f (tried 3m2f last time). |

Career best to win under Alice Stevens at Musselburgh (2m4f) on the first day of 2024 but absent 334 days afterwards and he's weakened right out of it on all three starts this season; tried cheekpieces last time (they are now removed) and he's unproven beyond 2m4f (has tried 2m5f and 2m6f). |

22nd Nov 2024 Good 2m 3f 51y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Useful chaser at best for Donald McCain but last win was almost two years ago and he's struggled in two hurdle runs for new yard this autumn; on reduced mark back over fences but he has something to prove and all of his rules wins have been at shorter trips; cheekpieces added. |

Mixes chasing with hurdling and he's stuck on a losing run; last three efforts thoroughly underwhelming. |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 77y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Course winner but it's now 16 starts since his last victory and he came in a remote fifth of seven over C&D on Boxing Day; he's not one to rely on. |
9/1 |

25th Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 14y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Last win was at Cartmel in August 2024 (2m1f, soft); best run since when third over same C&D in July (good); bit disappointing last twice, but no surprise if he were to run well. |

4th Feb 2024 Good To Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Ended last year with below-par C&D run (bled from the nose) and was beaten when falling over 2m4f here on New Year's Day; needs to get back in the groove but has very good chasing strike-rate (7-25) and his current mark is workable. |
