12th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Flat-bred gelding who hasn't convinced on two previous attempts at 3m, the latest a Grade 1 novice at Kempton in December; however, he rallied for third at Cheltenham (nearly 2m5f, soft) in January and kept on well when filling the same position in the Plate at the Festival (extended 2m4f, good to soft); worth another go at this trip and could have a part to play. |

13th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
11st 1lb |
Found immediate improvement for the switch to fences when winning on chase debut at Newbury (2m4f, good) in November; useful, persevering efforts in two good 2m4f races since, on that track and when third to Jagwar in a well-contested C&D handicap, and a truly run race kept to this trip will suit; has win possibilities if fitting cheekpieces brisks him up. |

11st 13lb |
Irish point second who was placed in a heavy ground bumper on debut and also in a Kempton novices' hurdle (2m5f, soft) in February; pulled up on handicap debut at Taunton later that month but player if a subsequent wind operation has a positive effect; also has first-time cheekpieces added to the tongue-strap he's worn recently. |

29th Feb 2024 Soft 2m 7f 198y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Early promise in Irish point and bumper; low-key start to hurdle career but he fared better when runner-up to a hotpot at Kempton (2m5f, soft) recently and should do better again on switch to this level over new trip. |

23rd Oct 2024 Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
0-6 over hurdles and absent since a disappointing run in April but his first two handicap runs (2m5f/2m4f) were quite encouraging and improvement is possible this season; cheekpieces left off today. |

19th Apr 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Has shown glimpses of promise in both novice and handicap company and stepped up slightly on his return from wind surgery when fifth at Plumpton (2m4f, good; first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces) latest; drops 2lb and likely to need more improvement to defy this mark. |

22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Refusal to settle on first start for over 22 months inevitably caught up with him on last month's chase/handicap debut over C&D; needs to help himself more, but already okay mark lowered 3lb more; tongue tie added. |

Displayed some ability in points last March/April and was only beaten about 30l on his two hurdling starts towards the end of last year (2m3f/2m4f) but significant improvement is required here. |

11st 3lb |
Won last autumn on final two runs for Olly Murphy (3m2f/2m5f, good to firm/good to soft) and he took a step back in the right direction when third of six at Warwick (3m, good) in June when last seen; runs off his last winning mark and he might not be far away. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 3f 119y Class 5 |

Won twice for Olly Murphy in the autumn and subsequently sold for 5,500gns; hasn't been in the same form in three runs for his current trainer; cheekpieces worn on his last three starts are dispensed with on this step up in trip; still has time on his side but all of a sudden has a bit to prove. |

Low-mileage 5yo who won a maiden hurdle here (2m, soft) in March; absent since pulled up on chasing debut in May (2m3f) but could still have a good future over fences and is unexposed over this sort of trip. |
