31st May 2024 Soft 2m 1f 47y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Back off the same mark as when winning at Hamilton (1m4f, good to firm) last summer and seems to go on any ground, but is still to show that he wants this far on the Flat. |

Won this race in 2022 and was also successful at Hamilton (1m4f, good to firm) last spring; back on a good mark now but looked out of sorts on latest hurdling start in February and has become very unreliable. |

8th Apr 2025 Good 2m 3f 61y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Won a Kelso novice hurdle in first-time cheekpieces last May (2m1f, good to soft); disappointing all three starts since, the second over 2m6f on soft at Newcastle; new headgear needs to bring about improvement. |

10yo who won a Kelso novice hurdle last May but has been below that level since in handicaps over fences and hurdles; does have placed form in handicaps in this discipline but last two runs were offputting. |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Dual chase winner in 2024; returned from one-year absence with low-key hurdle run for new stable in July but shaped with a lot more promise at Perth last month and should now be at concert pitch for this return to fences. |

8th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |

Made a low-key stable debut over hurdles after a year off and he's likely to be back chasing (dual winner) sooner rather than later. |

13th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
1-39 over hurdles, the win gained here (2m, good) last May; inconsistent and although he stays 2m4f and latest start was one of his better days, today's position 7lb out of the handicap makes things tough. |
25/1 |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
1-38 over hurdles, the win gained at Hexham (2m, good) last May; his good days have become infrequent, though, and he's 3lb out of the weights today; not the percentage call. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |

Runner-up at Sedgefield in November and not disgraced on penultimate start, but those are the only bright spots in his last nine races; reverts from chasing (last five starts); overall he's won just one (a hurdle race last May) of 47 and today he is 3lb out of the handicap. |

Had placed form in Irish maiden hurdles but it's been a sticky start for his current yard with no shows in 2m3f and 2m4f handicaps; dropping back in distance could work but he needs to find overall improvement. |

Won over fences for Ruth Jefferson last year but was sold out of that stable after a disappointing run in May and was safely held on stable debut the following month; returns from break with quite a bit to prove. |
