27th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Won this in 2024 (heavy) and he was a promising second at Carlisle (3m, soft) in November 2025 on his second start back from a long absence; tailed off at Haydock since but he was 7lb out of the handicap and made a bad mistake mid-race; he's one to consider now back down in grade. |

12st 2lb |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 3m 5f 142y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Has won over 4m so did well to win over 3m here (good; has won on soft) in October when only 2lb lower; comfortably held since at Uttoxeter (3m2f) but has the form and attributes to feature in a race of this nature. |

10th Nov 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
All three wins over hurdles were at Taunton, latest over 3m on heavy in March 2023; chasing last term and ended his time with the Hobbs/White stable on some low notes; pulled up after an early error over fences (0-6 in that sphere) 12 days ago on stable/seasonal debut; well treated on best efforts. |

11st 2lb |
Three-time hurdle winner; yet build upon last autumn's promising chase debut for the Hobbs/White stable and has been absent since March but is on a good mark for today's stable debut; cheekpieces removed. |

10th Jan 2024 Good To Soft 3m 2f 1y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Looked one to follow when winning a bumper and maiden hurdle in winter 2021-22; then absent until early last year, when struggling on first two chase starts; plenty to prove but a market move would be interesting on this first outing since last April. |

25th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 199y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Looked a good prospect when scoring over hurdles at Chepstow (2m4f) last February but he's yet to fire in two runs in this sphere after a ten-month absence, tried in blinkers when pulled up in 2m4f Uttoxeter handicap 38 days ago; he needs to take a big step forward. |
