1st Apr 2025 Good 2m 7f 95y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Twice a runner-up late last year and came back to some form after some lesser efforts when just over a 3l second to Jongleur d'Etoiles at Wincanton (3m, good to soft) last month; remains competitively treated if backing that up. |

12st 1lb |
Runner-up twice in a row at Southwell (2m4f/3m, good/good to soft) towards the end of last year and he's on a handy mark on that form; however, he's gone off the boil on his last three runs and has to raise his game. |

24th Jan 2024 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Second in both Irish points last season and made pretty good start to rules career when filling same position in Wetherby novice hurdle (2m, soft) in November; did not get home and was pulled up over 2m4f at Hexham (heavy) last month but it would be folly to write him off after that. |

1st Apr 2024 Good To Soft 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Two-time Flat winner who won on his handicap hurdle debut at Doncaster (2m, good) in January, beating a big field with something to spare; also effective on good to soft; unexposed in this code and this 5yo may well take a 7lb rise in his stride. |

Ran encouragingly at Sedgefield (second hurdles attempt) on Boxing Day and may well build on that effort; has a handy opening mark judged on Flat form; interesting. |

4th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Landed his third success over fences at Ludlow (2m, good) last month after his challenger fell at the last obstacle; up 7lb but still on the upgrade and should not be far away. |

1-1 here, that win coming over C&D (good; 18-1) in November on his penultimate start; not beaten far when fourth of six at Doncaster (also about 2m, good to soft) the following month and he's another who is firmly in calculations. |

14th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Resumed winning ways in first-time blinkers at Newcastle (2m4f) in November but very in and out since, pulled up in 2m6f Leicester handicap chase 25 days ago; he's not easy to warm to today. |

20th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Inconsistent this season but won in first-time blinkers at Newcastle in November and looked unlucky not to add to his tally at Haydock (also 2m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago, when a last-fence error was costly; up another 4lb for that but could have more to offer if in the right mood again. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won over fences here (2m4f, good to soft) on New Year's Eve but began this year with two disappointing runs; reverts to hurdling after 261-day break and with usual cheekpieces missing; others have much less to prove. |
