1st Dec 2024 Soft 2m 4f 25y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Won off a similar mark at Hereford (chase debut) in March; folded tamely and well beaten on latest outing; had wind surgery (his second) since so may be able to rebound. |

11st 12lb |
Absent since a disappointing run in first-time cheekpieces (now removed) in May but made all to beat three rivals on chasing debut at Hereford (2m5f, good to soft) in March and resumes on a workable mark. |

3rd Mar 2025 Good 2m 7f 91y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Turbulent career and was deep in the doldrums for much of 2024 but he popped up at 25-1 at Doncaster (3m, good to soft) when nearly half the fences were omitted; back up 3lb but still well treated if the mood takes; yard 5-10 here in the last five seasons. |

24th Jan 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 214y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Pulled up on five of his six starts in 2024; showed some zest when ridden very positively in first-time blinkers (retained) at Huntingdon (2m4f, good to soft) this month but was well held in the end and remains a risky option. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won twice on good ground (2m5f/2m3f) for this new stable last season and has been placed on last three appearances, most recently when second over C&D (good) three weeks ago; 1lb lower today and seems very likely to be in the thick of things again. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Holding form well since January's Catterick success (2m3f, good), actually achieving more on RPRs when a close third at Newcastle latest; still well treated on his 2023-24 peak form, and no ground concerns. |
9/2 |

3rd 1 |
31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 19y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won at Catterick in January (2m3f, good) and best form since when 0.5l second at Sedgefield last time (2m5f, good); conditions suit; chance. |

21st Mar 2024 Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Runs off a mark fully 10lb lower than when winning over hurdles at Ffos Las (2m4f, soft) in January 2023; however, he's been a long way below that level this season over fences and the first-time blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) need to prompt major improvement. |
13/2 |

4th 2 |
9th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 4f 194y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Hurdle winner of 5lb higher in early 2023; entitled to have needed the run when well-held fifth on return to chasing in November but dropped away very tamely in straight at Chepstow in January and comes here with some questions to answer. |
9/2 |
