11st 1lb |
Long time since he won on the Flat and he had lost his way when last seen; the change of yard will need to spark a revival and there's nothing to suggest he's best caught fresh. |

30th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 6y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
Held on gamely to cause 66-1 shock on Flat return at Salisbury (1m4f, good) in May but was safely held on both subsequent outings and is far too inconsistent to support with confidence; had recent wind op. |
8/1 |
|
3rd 1 (3) |
27th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 5f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
66-1 winner on his first Flat start since 2024 when making most to win off 2lb lower in a small field at Salisbury last month; back to his inconsistent self when tailed off at Chepstow next time and it will likely depend on what sort of mood he's in. |

8th 1 (2) |
29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
This year's hurdling form is uninspiring but he held on gamely to cause 66-1 shock at Salisbury a fortnight ago, his first Flat run since 2024; it's hard to tell whether he'll be in the same mood again here but he's only 2lb higher and this is a slight drop in grade. |

4th Oct 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
10st 1lb |
All six wins have been on Tapeta, including three over C&D; well treated on his best form last year and he went close off this mark over C&D (Rubellite third) last Thursday; that was his second run after a break and he's a big player if he can repeat that form. |
9/2 |

2nd 3 (7) |
25th Sep 2025 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |

Three C&D wins to his name; should be sharper for his recent return to action and he'll appreciate both dropping into Class 6 and returning to a longer trip; one to consider. |
100/30 |

4th 8 (1) |
8th Sep 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 2f 42y Class 5 |
8st 13lb |
2lb below last winning mark and although not seen in six months, has won after a similar absence; has run well in all four starts over C&D, but all six wins have come over 1m4f (three here) so he wouldn't want a dawdle over this trip. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 2m 1f 169y Class 5 |

Won three on the Flat but doesn't look up to much over hurdles; completely tailed off on handicap debut here when friendless in the betting; tries two new forms of headgear. |

16th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |

Three Flat wins (1m2f-11.5f); beaten 24l, 50l, and 49l respectively in three attempts over hurdles; switches to a novice handicap but it is easy to look elsewhere. |

14th Feb 2025 Standard 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Unraced here but all five wins have come on the AW and he's fine on Tapeta; hasn't been getting the breaks in his recent races and one to consider, for all that he's not shone when previously tried in cheekpieces. |
8/1 |

5th 2 (5) |
27th Jan 2025 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
All of his five wins have been on AW and latest was off this mark over C&D last March; finished fifth in both runs for new yard this winter but he didn't get much luck on the first occasion and was beaten less than 3l at Lingfield last time; could be dangerous if he can find something extra. |

7th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Last three wins, including two for Ryan Kavanagh last spring, have come over further; back in form when arguably an unlucky loser at Wolverhampton on Tuesday (extended 2m) and his claims are obvious off the same mark. |
9/4 |

2nd 5 (5) |
2nd Mar 2026 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |

Generally disappointing since winning twice (once over C&D) last May but encountered traffic when fifth (behind Belle Of KT) over 1m6f here a fortnight ago and continues to lurk on a good mark; can't be ruled out. |

All five wins have been at this track (9.4f) but losing spell goes back to April 2022 and he's been quiet in his three runs this winter; mark continues to fall but he's 0-8 at this trip and others are more convincing. |

11st 0lb |
Won small-field C&D event in June and was not beaten far in Summer Hurdle (a race he won in 2024) here in July; needs to up his game after two lesser efforts elsewhere but the return to this track is sure to suit. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Had a win and two placings from three starts here (2m) in his younger days; won four-runner Market Rasen handicap (2m, good) off reduced mark in June and was not disgraced in competitive Summer Hurdle over that C&D in July; form took a dip at Cartmel last time, though, and he's untried at this trip. |
