17th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Returned to form with creditable second at Taunton (2m, good) last month, his third start for David Brace, but was pulled up on recent chasing debut and has become hard to predict. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Dual soft-ground hurdle winner (handles good) in early 2024 but had been badly out of sorts prior to his second at Taunton (2m, good) last month; now switches to fences and needs to build on that revival, though he remains attractively treated on old form. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Dual soft-ground hurdle winner (handles good) in early 2024 but has struggled for form since, including on both starts for this stable; latest C&D effort offered a glimmer of encouragement and he's well treated on old form, but he needs another step forward today. |

9th Jun 2025 Good 2m 1f 27y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Appreciated returning to the Flat when running quite well for a 50-1 chance at Wolverhampton; still has ground to make up on Forglen. |

19th May 2025 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Won off a similar mark on turf (2m) in August, but she's run some ordinary races on the AW since finishing close up at Kempton in January 2024 and recent hurdle efforts raise questions about her current form. |

22nd Feb 2024 Standard 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb

Won over hurdles in November but no Flat success since July 2018; 5lb lower than when fourth of nine at Wolverhampton (16.5f, Tapeta) in December, but well held in three starts (AW/hurdles) since; others more solid. |

midfield, not fluent and lost position 5th, ridden after 4 out, went modest third from 2 out |

18th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 5f 66y Class 6 |
9st 5lb
|
His AW wins were all in 2017; won twice over hurdles in 2023 and penultimate start (Wolverhampton 2m) showed all is not lost on AW, but he ran poorly (14-1; made most) with blinkers reinstated over C&D one week ago behind two of today's rivals; others look a bit more solid. |

24th Sep 2024 Good 2m 3f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Safely held off lowly marks in all three handicap hurdles (2m-2m5f) and needs to find some improvement from somewhere. |
50/1 |

18th Jul 2024 Soft 1m 3f 179y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Regressive since showing early promise on the Flat in Ireland as a 2yo, her last six starts coming over hurdles; look elsewhere. |
66/1 |
|
6th 9 |
5th Jul 2024 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Showed some ability on the Flat in Ireland but she's been well held in five hurdle runs for current yard, including since switched to handicaps; out of the weights and needs the first-time blinkers to turn things around. |

Flat winner on fast ground and sole hurdle success came on good to soft; exposed 8yo who looks opposable under these conditions; 4lb out of the weights. |

16th Feb 2024 Soft 2m 0f 3y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Has two hurdle wins at around 2m (on good to soft) to his name but hard to make a case for him on anything he has shown in the past two years. |

18th Nov 2023 Heavy 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
