5th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Multiple winner but hasn't become easy to predict and followed two modest runs over hurdles with a pull-up on his return to fences at Ludlow; others safer. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Found Class 2 race at Newton Abbot slightly too hot last time but is now only 2lb higher than when winning here (2m4f, good to soft) in June, and today's longer trip probably suits him better; one to consider. |

30th Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Kept on well to assert at Ffos Las (2m4f, good to soft) when back over hurdles in June, his fourth hurdling success, and does not look harshly treated by a 3lb rise for that but moves up from 0-115 company today and others in this line-up look stronger. |

25th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 3m 2f 127y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
Bumper/hurdle winner who appreciated the return to this discipline when going down narrowly over nearly 3m at Hexham last month; this is a stronger race, however. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Three listless performances since returning from 13 months out; 12lb below his last winning mark now, but no good thing to capitalise. |

2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |

Won twice in November 2024 (2m7f/3m, good/good to soft) but mainly disappointing since including on both runs since a 404-day break; plenty to prove at present. |

Stays 3m and acts on the forecast sound surface; 50-1, always behind and pulled up on his return from 13 months off the track at Wetherby on latest start; bit to prove. |

13th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 5 |

Showed some promise in two Irish points in 2023; rather disappointing over hurdles and fences, including with cheekpieces and last time with a visor; cheekpieces back on; others stronger. |

6th Jun 2024 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Winning Irish pointer; successful in two novice hurdles in 2022 (2m1f/2m2f, good to soft); had wind surgery after that and rather patchy form over fences and hurdles since, best recent run when second in handicap hurdle at Carlisle in March (2m3f, soft). |

30th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |

Form figures of 212 here, latterly only narrowly failing to make all over C&D (soft); 3lb higher and without the claim of Charlie Maggs, but still a strong contender. |

25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Resumed winning ways at Ayr (2m4f) in January but failed to back it up when a well-held fifth in another 2m4f handicap at that track 43 days ago; others appeal more. |

10th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 5 |

Both wins have been here, latest when beating Velvet Vulcan by a head in a 19-runner handicap over this trip last month (soft; went clear but only just held on); should go well off this 3lb higher mark. |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Dual C&D winner who returned from break with two low-key runs in February/March; usually knocks about in lower-grade races than this but returns to this track on a workable mark (even from 3lb out of the weights) and is versatile regarding ground. |
6/1 |
|
4th 9 |
22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
10st 9lb |
Has done all of his winning at Cartmel and Catterick; made the frame in this race 12 months ago but was beaten long way over C&D on return from layoff last time. |
25/1 |
|
7th 3 |
16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 210y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Won at Cartmel (2m5f, soft) last June and runner-up at Perth (3m, good) in September; below par at Hexham in October when last seen but a break may have helped and he can go well fresh; could be a contender on his return. |
13/2 |
