26th Nov 2024 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Winning hurdler/chaser in France who was twice successful over fences for this yard at Sedgefield (2m1f/2m3f) last winter, but below form in his last three starts (one over hurdles); back off his last winning mark, but still looks vulnerable to younger rivals after eight months off. |

11th Sep 2025 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
C&D winner in May on his second start for James Owen and was holding his form until heavy defeats in his final two races; now on a recovery mission. |

29th Aug 2025 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Scored at Uttoxeter (3m, good) in May, his second start for James Owen, and ran big race when clear second to thriving opponent at Cartmel (3m1f, soft) in June; needs to bounce back from last month's duff effort at Market Rasen but still features prominently in calculations. |

19th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Looked a hard ride when second at Bangor (3m, good) but travelled sweeter with the blinkers back on at Cartmel (3m1f, soft) and just missed out; nudged up another 3lb but has to be respected. |

11st 10lb |
Had been struggling but bounced back for a fourth chase success at Lingfield two weeks ago (2m, soft; made most); wouldn't be certain to repeat that form but clear claims if he can off 5lb higher. |

7th Feb 2024 Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Returned to form with an easy win under Peter Summers when back over fences at Leicester (2m, soft) last month; that was a first chase victory at the 11th attempt and she beat only two rivals, but it's hard to knock that performance otherwise and a 4lb rise isn't harsh. |

10th Jan 2024 Soft 1m 7f 201y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Soundly beaten over hurdles last month and evidently not as good as she was but began this season with two very respectable chase runs (one in a Listed race) and is sure to appreciate today's ease in grade; versatile regarding ground; must be considered. |
7/2 |

6th Dec 2023 Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Returned to hurdles for a dominant 10l success at Chepstow in January (soft) off only a 3lb lower mark but lost her way a little afterwards; following wind surgery she seems back in good order judged on recent chase efforts (0-10 compared with 4-16 hurdling) and has plenty in her favour back in this discipline; should give it a good go from the front. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Resumed winning ways over fences at Stratford (2m1f) in March but below par both runs since, beating just one in 2m4f Warwick handicap chase last month; needs to take a big step forward back in this sphere. |
14/1 |

4th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Landed his fourth win over fences at Stratford in March (2m1f, soft) but his Huntingdon third was remote and some inconsistency has crept in. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 4 |
4th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Back to his best after a three-month break when landing his fourth win over fences at Stratford (2m1f, soft) last month; up 5lb but recorded back-to-back victories around this time last year so not to be taken lightly. |
5/2 |
