28th Oct 2025 Soft 3m 1f 60y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Point/hurdle winner; pulled up on chasing debut in February but, with today's headgear combination fitted, fared much better on final two starts last season (3m1f/3m) and made the frame; may still have potential. |

22nd Oct 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 25y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Displayed huge improvement to finish first in Chepstow maiden (2m3f, heavy) in January, only to be demoted to second for causing interference; gained compensation in match race here (2m5f, heavy) the following month and might have more to offer in handicaps this term. |

23rd Feb 2024 Soft 2m 5f 137y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Left previous form behind when first past the post at 100-1 at Chepstow (2m3f, heavy) last month, only to be demoted due to interference; needs to confirm that promise today, but leading claims if he can. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 6f 164y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Useful novice chaser whose form features second-place finishes in 3m Grade 2 events at Sandown and Windsor; came up rather short in Grade 1 at Aintree last time but looks one of the main contenders returned to this level. |
15/8 |

4th 2 |
10th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 210y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Tends to lead; scored at 1-50 on his chase debut at Warwick in May and impressed when winning by 10l at Exeter (3m, also good) in November; put in his place by Salver on last two starts (good to soft/soft) but comes here fresh having skipped Cheltenham and any drying of the ground would be in his favour; could get them all at it. |
14/1 |

2nd 3 |
18th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 60y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Has won on soft but seems ideally suited by faster ground; record of 2-5 since switched to chasing includes a Class 2 win at Exeter (3m) on penultimate start; not disgraced at Sandown latest but was beaten 12l by Salver; 5lb pull looks insufficient in the rematch. |

24th Mar 2024 Good 2m 3f 58y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Won by just over 3l on his bumper debut at Chepstow (good to soft) and again ran to a fair level when mid-division in a Listed bumper here in December; needs to rebound from a disappointing hurdling debut back at Chepstow but he did go off odds-on and didn't appear to handle the heavy ground; remains promising; cheekpieces added. |

16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Left the O'Neills for £23,000 and made a winning start for this yard at Market Rasen in first-time blinkers (2m4f, good); didn't have a lot in hand but only raised 3lb. |

19th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Surged in the weights for wins at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) and Southwell (2m4f, good) last autumn; below par on his last two starts for the O'Neills but he's since joined a bang-in-form stable (for £23,000) and has to be of interest in first-time blinkers after a break. |

Went up 19lb for wins at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) and Southwell (2m4f, good) last year; beaten at odds-on next time but subsequently fair third on chase debut; back over hurdles after pulling up last time; others look better handicapped. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Only 1-16 over fences but it was his first run after wind surgery when coming from off the pace for a closing third at Bangor (3m, good) last week; that's something to build on and Sean Bowen is back. |

26th Jun 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Came good with narrow win off lowly mark at Stratford (2m6f, good; first-time cheekpieces) in September but last month's reappearance run was disappointing; given another wind op (his second) since; others are more persuasive. |
10/1 |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 110y Class 5 |

1-14 as a chaser; won at Stratford in September (2m6f, good) and fair efforts since then; can go well if fitness isn't an issue on first run since October. |
