19th Mar 2024 Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Won Irish point and 2m5f French chase; useful yard debut in a mixed open in January and more than confirmed that promise with a staying-on third in a competitive 2m7f event at Taunton (soft) where she would have been closer but for losing some momentum three out; good chance. |

20th Feb 2024 Heavy 2m 7f 3y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Irish point winner and also successful over fences in France (handled plenty of give underfoot); beaten by a talented ex-Paul Nicholls horse on debut for this yard in a recent 3m point. |

3rd May 2024 Good 3m 1f 56y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
3-3 in Irish points in early 2022 and runner-up in two hunter chases there that spring; however, it was after a long absence when pulled up at Exeter in a hunter chase won by Yippee Ki Yay. |

11th Apr 2024 Heavy 2m 5f 19y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Only an 8yo but his rating has capitulated during the last two years and his recent form is nowhere near good enough for a test of this magnitude. |

19th Mar 2024 Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Grade 2 hurdle winner in 2020 and bits of form in better races than this in recent times; out of sorts in the autumn but he might well have pegged back Forest Chimes at Stratford (2m5f, heavy) last week with a better jump at the last; this stiffer test can suit; can go well. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Track and going types come alike to this former Kelso and Exeter hunter chase winner (soft and good to soft); 11l behind a rival later drubbed by Stumps Or Slips on his most recent hunter chase start, but confidence levels topped up with an easy point win at Eyton-on-Severn (good to firm) since. |

2nd 3 |
17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
Won twice under rules (once over C&D) in 2024; slightly disappointing when favourite for his latest point but the form of his first two runs this season reads quite well in this context; no surprise if he features. |

3rd Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Won two hunter chases last year but those wins were in much easier races and he doesn't look in the same form now. |
