22nd Mar 2025 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Well beaten on soft ground on last three starts; has won on such going previously but maybe better ground is preferable and he's just 1lb higher than when winning at Southwell (2m4f, good) last April; not written off. |

9th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 0f 70y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Didn't jump with fluency but took advantage of ease in grade to justify favouritism in a Leicester seller (2m4f, soft) on penultimate start; toiled back in a handicap (Class 4) at Lingfield latest; this is a tough task, even if returning to this shorter trip may suit. |

19th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 3f 110y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Bounced back from disappointing seasonal debut with clear win in Leicester seller (2m4f, soft) three weeks ago but faces much tougher task on this handicap return and still has something to prove; cheekpieces refitted. |

25th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Returned from layoff with two clearcut wins at Sandown (both 2m, soft) this year but his revival came to an end with a pulled-up effort at Warwick in February; bit to prove after that and he's untried over this far. |

29th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Dual C&D winner (soft/good) but not since December 2022, and is very inconsistent nowadays; tailed off at Stratford on latest outing in early July; 1lb wrong today; others have more pressing claims. |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Placed over hurdles in February and there was nothing wrong with his sixth at Warwick (2m3f, good) in April; has undergone wind surgery since finishing a distant last of ten back on the Flat in May but others have more pressing claims. |
14/1 |

4th May 2025 Good To Firm 1m 6f 44y Class 6 |

Placed over hurdles in February but three lesser performances since then; both Flat wins have come on the AW and a good while back now. |

14th May 2026 Good 1m 6f 44y Class 3 |
8st 5lb |
Winner over hurdles for Paul Nicholls and fences for Gavin Cromwell but pulled up at big prices in both hurdle starts for this yard; visor deployed on his belated handicap debut in this sphere. |
50/1 |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Lost his way over fences in Ireland and showed no signs of an immediate revival when pulled up reverting to hurdles on stable debut in March; too much to prove at present. |
25/1 |

28th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Four-time winner (hurdles/fences) but he's lost his way and was pulled up in four of his last five runs in Ireland; left Gavin Cromwell since his last run in January and has plenty to prove for new yard; equipment removed. |
66/1 |
