28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Scored three times (around 2m) over hurdles in 2024; very lightly raced since and he failed to build on an encouraging reappearance Wetherby third when sixth of eight in 2m Uttoxeter handicap in December; reportedly finished lame there so worth another chance in this grade. |

24th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Form figures of 3111 in handicaps since joining Olly Murphy on ground ranging from good to soft to heavy; defied a nine-month absence at Leicester in December and that form has worked out well; up another 7lb and drying ground is an unknown, but dangerous to dismiss. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Bang there in 2m3f/2m6f handicaps (good) in March and feasible excuses since then, as he was pressured up front two runs back and perhaps failed to stay 3m last time; now 0-23 under rules but one to bear in mind. |
8/1 |

10th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 174y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Now 0-20 over hurdles but was bang there in 2m3f/2m6f handicaps (good) in March and when beaten nearly 20l the last time he got pressured up front; unlikely to be far away. |

3rd 6 |
16th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
0-19 over hurdles, which could be the bottom line, but he's been placed on four of his six starts this season, on last two occasions finishing runner-up on good ground over C&D and Stratford's 2m6f; wore cheekpieces on last three starts; looks set to be seriously involved again. |

1-9 over hurdles; ended last season on a low note and was again well beaten when back in action in January; makes chasing debut from a good mark but others look much less risky. |

7th May 2024 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Did win over fences but became disappointing, and was again below par returned to those obstacles last time; had previously finished a close fourth on his return to hurdling at Ludlow (2m, soft; stable debut) and that brings him into it; tries cheekpieces. |

17th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Won a Ludlow novice handicap on chasing debut when with Christian Williams in February 2022 (2m, soft) but rather disappointing over fences since; close fourth in a Ludlow handicap hurdle on first run for this new yard (2m, soft) and has a chance if translating that form to fences. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 136y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Won chase debut in February 2025 and back to form with blinkers enlisted when second on last two outings, but all three of those runs were over 2m and there is plenty to prove judged on his attempts at 2m4f/3m; cheekpieces return and their previous usage includes that one win. |

6th Mar 2026 Soft 1m 7f 201y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Took a step forward in a change of headgear when second of eight in handicap over C&D 22 day ago, hindered by a blunder two out; this C&D winner is a likely player if blinkers have the same effect a second time. |
9/2 |

2nd 8 |
12th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 201y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Opened his account when winning on chase debut over C&D (soft) last February but he's not come close to that form in four subsequent runs; overall record is now 1-21 and he needs new headgear to give him a boost. |

Safely held in two French hurdles in early part of season but returned from layoff with more encouraging run at Ludlow (2m, soft) in February, keeping on steadily for sixth; now needs to build on that performance. |

29th Feb 2024 Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Best of four runs came on good ground when third in a Uttoxeter maiden in October 2022; two modest runs (soft) either side of wind surgery since returning from an absence but this is her handicap debut and the yard is going very well. |

3rd Feb 2024 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Tailed off here (2m3f, soft) on Boxing Day on first encounter with slow ground; however, that was her first run after an absence and she's had wind surgery since; promising third on hurdle debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in October 2022 and she's not written off. |

12th Nov 2024 Good 2m 5f 163y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Showed her first piece of worthwhile form for a while when fourth at Huntingdon (near 2m4f, good) last month, albeit beaten 20l; failed to build on that when soundly beaten behind Karakoram 19 days ago; 6lb out of the handicap and difficult to recommend. |

24th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 174y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
This month's Huntingdon fourth (2m4f, good) broke a sequence of non-completions; shaped there as if ready for this longer trip now, though that's not wholly backed up by the pedigree (two point winners aside). |
