20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Has essentially become disappointing since his novice season but he did run well first time back in a strong Cheltenham handicap (3m1f, good) and this is his hunter chase debut; disappointing if he's not involved. |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Well handicapped if back to his peak and he does have Cheltenham form; ran no race on his debut for Paul Nicholls but the second run can be excused after he suffered interference; still only an 8yo and a revival is not out of the question by any means. |

28th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 3m 1f 214y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Won twice here late last year but started hanging badly left subsequently and ran poorly here in February on his final completion; left Jonjo O'Neill and reappeared with a disappointing show here four weeks ago in a race he won last term; may have needed that run but connections also now reach for cheekpieces; should stay and is well handicapped if back to his peak. |

22nd Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 187y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Launched chasing career with three good runs last season but fell next time and suffered heavy defeats in his three starts since; this should be a good mark but plenty now seems to depend on January's wind surgery. |

10th Dec 2024 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Launched chasing career with three good runs last season, most notably when chasing home subsequent dual Grade 1 runner-up Ginny's Destiny at Cheltenham (2m4f, good to soft) in January; holds strong claims here if judged on that evidence but was a disappointing favourite when returned to Cheltenham for seasonal debut in October and needs to rebound. |

11st 1lb |
He won a four-runner handicap at Ascot (2m5f, good) in November but has failed to kick on subsequently, proving no match for Genois and Outlaw Peter when fifth at Exeter (2m3f, good to soft) four weeks ago. |

9th Nov 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 86y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Bumper and dual hurdle winner; ran right up to his best when narrowly foiled in a 2m7f handicap hurdle at Worcester (good; won on soft) on his final appearance in May and he's bred to be a chaser; remains in same ownership despite changing yards. |

2nd 4 |
8th May 2023 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Lightly raced 7yo who was placed on two of his three starts last season, more recently when third at Exeter (2m7f, good to soft) last month; will be favoured by the forecast rain and probably won't be far away. |

11st 11lb |
Chasing when last seen in June of last year, winning a four-runner handicap at Southwell before a close third off this mark at Worcester (2m7f, good); dual winning hurdler who has his ground and fitness might not be an issue given connections. |

13th Jun 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Came good over fences at fourth attempt, in two-finisher contest at Southwell (3m2f, good to soft) three weeks ago; the value of that form is quite tricky to assess but he seemed to have matters in control until idling in the home straight; only 2lb higher here and probably still has potential. |

11st 2lb |
Having had wind surgery he returned to form with a win at Taunton (3m, soft) last month; he's 4lb higher in this hotter race but appeared to idle in front last time so could have more left in the tank; has won on good to soft ground, unraced on good. |

11th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 7f 198y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Tailed off on handicap hurdle debut on final run last season and has struggled over fences on both runs this term; something to prove but he's had a wind op, which may help him recapture the promise shown when third in a Grade 2 novice hurdle at Warwick (2m5f, heavy) last January; not ruled out. |

10st 13lb |
Ended last season in good form, winning at Hereford (3m1f, soft) before good second at Haydock (3m1f, good); ran well (over hurdles) on only previous visit to Cartmel and has possibilities if this new trip suits; refused to line up and withdrawn at Aintree recently (8-1 at the time). |
7/2 |

15th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 210y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Went up 5lb for winning a Class 4 at Hereford (3m1f, soft) and raised another 1lb for his second in a better race at Haydock (3m1f, good), finishing just ahead of Jacks Parrot; this 11yo is thriving and entitled to play a part in the finish. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 125y Class 3 |

Put everything together when winning at Hereford (3m1f, soft) six weeks ago under a positive ride from Toby McCain-Mitchell; not discounted but he's up 5lb and this is a stronger race. |

6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 48y Class 3 |

Three-time chase winner with the form to feature off this mark and a break could have done him good, as his last two efforts weren't great; hard to rule out, for all that this trip is on the sharp side. |

18th Apr 2026 Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Close third over hurdles at this meeting 12 months ago (3m, good to soft) and won in that sphere at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) last July; ran pretty well in 5l third at Newbury (2m6f, good) in December when back chasing for the first time since 2023, but this 10yo needs a bigger performance today. |

26th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 149y Class 3 |

Won with this visor back on at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) in July and went close at Cartmel (3m1f, good) the following month; versatile ground-wise and can be in the mix if continuing the good work after a two-month break. |

4th May 2024 Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Placed off 7lb higher mark in stronger race than this at Exeter (3m, good to soft) in November but was pulled up on next two outings and was last of four (albeit not beaten far) when cheekpieces were added for latest run; now 0-15 under all codes and needs to up his game; drops back in trip with visor tried today. |
