25th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 99y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
Belied his 50-1 odds with 6l success in Grade 1 novice chase at Aintree (2m, good to soft) two weeks ago; however, needs to prove he can back up that form and Harry Skelton prefers solid stablemate Thistle Ask. |

1st 5 |
11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 176y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Made all in beginners' chase at Exeter (2m1f, good to soft) in December; has run creditably in two 2m Grade 2 events since but he was beaten at 1-4 at Bangor on his latest outing; bottom of the pile on ratings and hard to fancy. |

25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 1f 77y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Surprise winner of his first chase start in December; has bumped into smart opposition since, last time running as well as could have been hoped behind Steel Ally in the Grade 2 Kingmaker at Warwick (2m, heavy); this looks a good opportunity. |

Better chaser than hurdler but handicapped accordingly and has placed form in this discipline; however, he has been off since falling over fences in September. |

16th Sep 2025 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Resurgent 6yo who won twice on good ground in the spring (2m3f/2m) and remains in good form; still on a workable mark but significant rain may scupper his chance today. |

2nd 3 |
23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Won at Sedgefield (2m3f, good) in April and at Southwell (2m, good) in June, and he's run well in defeat the last twice (including here); there's every chance he'll be thereabouts. |

21st May 2026 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Off for more than a year since narrowly beaten over hurdles on his debut for his new jumps-oriented yard last March; that came after almost a year off, so he can go well fresh; market useful under a jockey who's ridden two winners over hurdles this year. |
6/1 |

1st Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 128y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Non-stayer upped to 2m3f on final start for Sir Mark Todd last May but previously a keeping-on third at Wincanton (1m7f, good) to a good subsequent winner; interesting switched to a handicap for in-form new yard. |
9/2 |

30th May 2024 Good 2m 3f 0y Class 4 |

Won two non-handicaps on good ground at Worcester last summer; placed in two of his three handicaps and there's improvement in his jumping; not ruled out, despite the absence. |

Dictated a steady pace when winning a C&D novice by 4l last time, having previously finished a close third on handicap debut (4lb lower); he was useful on the Flat and may have more to offer as a jumper. |

Record of 3-6 over fences; only beat two rivals for the last of those wins (2m) but he ran well in a useful chase at Newbury a month ago (2m4f, good) and this is easier than that; respected. |

10st 5lb |
Won last May/June (2m/2m4f, good) in the first two of his five runs over fences, but it took a three-runner race for him to score again three weeks ago (Doncaster 2m, good) and he still threw in a blunder even then; in this company, others are a bit more persuasive. |

0-18 over hurdles but seemingly back in decent form on last two appearances; in contention for second before last-flight fall at Kelso (2m5f, good) a fortnight ago and has possibilities if that experience has not dented her confidence. |

17th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |

0-8 over hurdles now but looked suited by the step up in trip when running big race in C&D handicap (good) in May and ought to make his presence felt again in this maiden. |

23rd May 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Close up in a 2m2f Stratford novice (good) last June but on the slide since and he's been pulled up in the last two of his three handicaps; still lightly raced in this sphere but he's untried beyond 2m4f and has plenty to prove at this new trip. |

29th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |

Fair on the Flat at his best; generally very disappointing over hurdles but his third of five at Sedgefield (2m4f, good) in March was a big step forward; drops back in trip with cheekpieces refitted here; could have a say if tuned up after 171-day break. |
