6th May 2024 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
The cheekpieces had been working well in handicaps at about 2m4f before he came up well short in a strong handicap at Cheltenham 19 days ago; didn't stay 3m here when trying it once before but conditions will be quicker this time and that should help. |

The cheekpieces are working well as he's been competitive in his last three races at about this distance; however, he's come up short in weaker races than this the last twice and Harry Skelton could have ridden him. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 2m 2f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Gained both chase wins three years ago; dropped 8lb since last run and looks attractively treated on best form but is returning from 16-month layoff; the betting may offer further guidance. |

Solid spell culminated in a second-place finish off 8lb higher in this contest 12 months ago (good to soft); less consistent since but has a fighting chance provided he's back in top form. |

1st Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 110y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Will be suited by today's good ground and was a very useful handicap chaser in his prime but was out of form for Fergal O'Brien when last seen last summer and it's hard to gauge how much ability he retains as a 12yo. |

6th Sep 2024 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Ran well in defeat in Ludlow hunter chase (2m4f, soft) in April but was well beaten when back in a handicap two months ago and is patently not the force of old; pulled up at 2023 Cheltenham Festival on only previous start in cheekpieces. |

27th Nov 2023 Good 2m 4f 110y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Both wins last season came over hurdles, including Chepstow contest on final outing; hasn't won over fences since 2020 and current mark reflects a general decline in his form; very well handicapped on his useful best. |
7/1 |

15th Apr 2023 Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Very useful chaser at his best; very much on the downgrade now and was tailed off at Haydock last month but was able to exploit his novice hurdle status in three-runner contest at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) two starts ago and ought to play a leading role here. |
11/10 |

22nd Mar 2023 Soft 2m 0f 67y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
No win since 2020 as a chaser and he's not been firing on all cylinders this season; won latest start but that came when 8-13 in a three-runner novice hurdle; acts on soft, unraced on heavy; down the weights (14lb lower than this time last year) but has questions to answer. |

10th Mar 2025 Good 2m 4f 114y Class 4 |

Bumper/hurdle/chase winner; didn't run up to his best over fences last year (pulled up last two starts); better ground will suit and well handicapped, but plenty to prove. |

2nd Jan 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 189y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
5-17 over fences but his latest win was May 2023 and last year went badly; often wears hood or cheekpieces and now tries a visor. |

5th Jun 2024 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Landed a five-timer over hurdles (2m3f-2m4f) for Milton Harris last March-June, ridden by Bradley Harris and the final leg off 5lb higher than today; respectable fourth at Plumpton in December on his second attempt over fences for this stable but off since pulling up over hurdles the following month; needs to be ready to roll back from a break and reverting to fences. |

26th Jan 2024 Soft 2m 3f 173y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Defied a 2lb lower mark last summer (2m4f, good; fine on softer) and returns to this discipline after two defeats over fences, the latest a respectable effort (beaten 10l); probably in fair form and entitled to run well. |
20/1 |
