6th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
All of his five wins have been gained at Plumpton but he's been well held at that track (2m1f/2m4f) in last three runs; now 9lb lower than for his last success but that that was 14 months ago and others are preferred. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
All his five victories have been gained here but he arrives under a cloud, last of five in 2m1f handicap chase here last month; yard is back among the winners though so not totally dismissed. |

16th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 219y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
All five wins on this track, over hurdles and fences (good and soft); ran his best race for a while over C&D last month, but soundly beaten when last of four finishers (odds-on) here since; reservations now. |

1st Mar 2025 Soft 2m 3f 187y Class 1 |
10st 3lb |
Mid-race faller last time (2m); consistent sort otherwise and ties in with two of these opponents on Ascot running (2m3f) in December; could go well off a low weight, provided he takes to first-time cheekpieces. |

22nd Feb 2025 Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Won this race and another C&D contest last season, and has remained in good form this term; probably doesn't have much margin for error off current mark but the return to this track is an obvious plus and he copes very well with slow ground; major player. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 4 |
18th Jan 2025 Heavy 2m 0f 67y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Won at Chepstow on final two starts last season (2m, heavy/soft) and respectable third on both starts this term (2m/2m3f, good to soft); perhaps the return to more testing ground will be in his favour; one to consider. |

3rd Nov 2024 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Not the force of old but seemed to have benefited from a wind op when close second at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in July and didn't run as badly as 28l defeat might suggest at Perth (2m4f, good) last time, having made a mid-race jumping error; drops back in trip with cheekpieces added here. |
8/1 |

led, headed before 2 out, soon weakened |

7th 1 |
26th Sep 2024 Good 2m 4f 20y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Not the force of old and the step back up in trip isn't sure to suit; however, after a wind op he returned to form with a close second off his reduced mark at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in July, and is entitled to respect. |
4/1 |
