1st 1 |
28th May 2025 Good To Firm 3m 0f 0y |
11st 10lb |
Two bumper wins in Britain; mixed record over hurdles; made all for a wide-margin maiden win over 2m3f at Naas last November; disappointing in races at Carlisle and Uttoxeter; more like it when winning at Chepstow last month; tougher opposition now. |

25th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Major player on the form of November's all-the-way Naas win (2m3f, good to yielding), but has folded sharply trying similar tactics twice since, proving no better for a three-month break latest; still no recourse to any headgear or aid, and caution necessarily advised for now. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 57y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Progressed again on last three starts, winning two of them (good to soft); moving up to 3m at this track proved an excellent fit three weeks ago when he mostly had a clear lead before striding on again smoothly in closing stages; up another 9lb but could also prove too hot for today's rivals. |

1st 2 |
27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 57y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Low-mileage 7yo who left low-key seasonal debut behind when scoring by just over 5l at Doncaster (2m3f, good to soft) in December and again ran well when placed here (2m4f, good) later that month; open to improvement on first attempt at 3m; must be considered seriously. |

2nd 1 |
20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 6f 93y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Runner-up in the opening novice hurdle on this card 12 months ago; looked unlucky not to win over C&D at Christmas when failing only narrowly to get up (on good); quite likely that he was unsuited by the heavy ground when a beaten favourite on his return visit and a physical issue also came to light; with this drying ground in his favour, he's right in the mix with cheekpieces added. |
15/8 |
|
6th 9 |
7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |
10st 8lb |
Point/bumper winner who didn't hang about over hurdles; disappointing chase debut here in November but looked unlucky not to win over 2m6f here (good; effective on soft) over Christmas when a late rally narrowly failed; the winner of that race is unexposed; big player off just 3lb higher. |

2nd Nov 2024 Good 1m 7f 152y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Fourth in two bumpers and again on his switch to hurdling at Chepstow (good to soft) when about 7l behind a useful winner; looks sure to win races but not sure this will be one of them. |

3rd 6 |
2nd Nov 2024 Good 1m 7f 152y Class 3 |

led, hung left before 5th, pressed winner when headed 3 out, lost second before 2 out, soon weakened |

13th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Closed on the principals to be beaten 6l in his first bumper at Kempton (soft) and possibly got stuck in the mud next time at Uttoxeter (heavy); has potential. |

28th Feb 2025 Heavy 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Mixed form across her five starts but has shown ability and goes handicapping off a modest mark; this lightly raced 6yo has a useful pedigree and is open to improvement; not ruled out. |
5/1 |

4th 11 |
9th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 4 |
10st 9lb |
Bettered her inauspicious hurdling debut when respectable fifth of ten at Warwick (2m3f, good to soft) three weeks ago but has a considerable amount to find with the principals here. |
