2nd May 2025 Good 4m 0f 97y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Signed off for Anthony Honeyball with a disappointing hurdle run last spring but seemingly back in good form in points for Harry Ryall this year, most notably when beating Assassins Lullaby by 7l in Cothelstone open (3m4f, good) in March; has cheekpieces refitted here; could have a say. |

Ended last year with two good-ground wins at Hereford (3m1f) and returned from break with good fourth at Plumpton (3m1f, good) in April; slightly disappointing on good to soft last month but may still have a bit more to offer; swaps blinkers for first-time visor today. |

6th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 48y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Only 1-24, the win coming over this far as a hurdler nearly two years ago; however, twice runner-up over fences this season (2m7f) and capable of going well. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-6 and generally disappointing during first season over fences, signing off with a poor performance in April; returns from six-month break on a good mark, though, and last month's wind op could quite plausibly aid a return to form; cheekpieces (worn for last three runs) discarded. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Grand veteran with eight wins over hurdles, including two over C&D last summer; down to his last winning mark and should be sharper for his fifth at Hereford last month following a five-month layoff, but you have to think that one of his younger rivals should have his measure. |
12/1 |

16th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Registered a four-timer last April-June (3m1f/2m7f, good/good to soft); very in and out since and he's now a 13yo but he finished on the heels of the principals off today's mark at Warwick in November when last seen; more to prove after the break. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 3m 1f 5y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Secured the second leg of a four-timer with wide-margin win over C&D (good) in May; now just 2lb above his last winning mark but generally well beaten since (the exception in a four-runner race) and he was tailed off last time; others look more likely. |

19th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 7f 25y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
With Charlie Longsdon when last successful at Uttoxeter (3m, heavy) in March 2019; soundly beaten in three starts for this trainer, including when taking minor honours at Southwell (3m, good to soft, 16-1) last month; 3lb lower; others are more convincing. |

Lost his way for Charlie Longsdon and, after 994 days off, did not show enough at 40-1 in his two runs for new yard; way down the weights; market can guide again. |

May not have achieved much when beating three rivals at Stratford (2m6f, good; first-time blinkers) in September and has been well held in both starts since; 3lb drop not enough to tempt. |

30th May 2024 Good 2m 3f 83y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Strike-rate of 6-17 over hurdles and the latest of those wins was off a 3lb higher mark; however, there's been pretty much nothing to take from his last five appearances and would appear to be going chasing under a cloud. |

25th Jan 2024 Good 2m 4f 145y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Six wins between November 2022 and May 2023 included one over C&D (good); back to within 1lb of the final winning mark in that sequence, but too far below par the last four times to expect him to capitalise. |
16/1 |

16th Dec 2023 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Between November of last year and this May he won six times in seven starts (2m3f-2m4f); however, shot up the weights as a consequence and he's beaten only one finisher in his last three appearances; has stamina to prove. |

27th Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 45y Class 4 |

Pulled up in both starts since opening his chase account in Hereford contest; still seeking first success above Class 5; cheekpieces added. |

15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Perhaps found out by the 3m6f trip at Exeter and heavy ground wasn't ideal when best efforts have been on good to soft or good; again reservations on that score here, but he was running well prior to last time. |

20th Feb 2026 Heavy 3m 6f 153y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
4l winner under Freddie Mitchell at Hereford (extended 3m1f) in January on latest outing but 8lb higher today, including 3lb out of the handicap; also not proven on worse than good to soft (had two attempts on soft) and this sort of trip is something new to him. |
