21st Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 52y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Cheekpieces back on for his last three races and competitive in two of those, over 2m4f and 3m; however, his profile is notoriously inconsistent and softer ground would be preferable. |

3rd 4 |
27th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 7f 198y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Returned to form and ran big race in defeat when back over hurdles in refitted cheekpieces at Ffos Las (2m4f, heavy) in December but was quickly back in the doldrums last month and now has it all to prove again. |

15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Only his third run over fences when forging clear at Huntingdon (2m7f, soft) in January; that resulted in a 10lb rise but he was only 9-2 when departing early at Taunton; seemingly on the upgrade. |
7/2 |
|
4 |
12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 3y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
All the sharper for his Hereford reappearance when making it third time lucky over fences in 2m7f Huntingdon handicap (soft) three weeks ago, forging 15l clear; that resulted in a 10lb rise but he should remain competitive if in the same form. |
9/2 |

1st 5 |
22nd Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Temporary switch to front-running over a sharp 3m netted him a Southwell hurdle off this mark in May 2024 (soft), but rather lost in the crowd in big-field chases on only two starts since; tongue tie off. |

1st Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
0-8 over fences and 0-16 overall but went close on seasonal debut at Ffos Las (3m, soft) in November and bumped into a big improver when well-held second at Uttoxeter (3m, heavy) in December; this right-handed track may not be ideal (jumped left at Taunton last season) but, otherwise, his claims are pretty solid; cheekpieces removed after one use. |
4/1 |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
0-6 over fences but was placed twice over C&D towards end of last season, latterly when staying on for clear second behind an improver (soft ground); contender if in same form again after seven-month absence. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 11 |
16th Apr 2025 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
11-race maiden with inconsistent overall form but his three completions at Ffos Las (3m in the mud on last two occasions) were among his best ratings; fell back here on latest outing; needs to find a bit extra to get off the mark but he's considered each-way. |

26th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Showed career-best form when drawing clear to score by just over 9l at Hereford (2m5f, heavy) a fortnight ago and is now 3-13 over fences; 7lb higher here but this trip-and-ground combination will also suit. |
11/4 |

1st 6 |
11th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Won this (good to soft) last year off 4lb lower, beating Kingcormac (second) and Greenways (pulled up); scored on heavy at Leicester next time and largely consistent since; swaps cheekpieces for a visor and has dipped below that last winning mark; player. |

19th Feb 2026 2m 3f 189y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Close third over fences at Fontwell last April but such high points have been scarce in his winless, 17-race rules career; well-beaten fifth in points on his last two starts; reverts to rules with something to prove. |
14/1 |

15th May 2025 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
A maiden who can pick up a race sometime soon after his rallying third over C&D 20 days ago, finishing right up behind Fortunate Fella. |

22nd Apr 2024 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Eight-race maiden who has finished down the field in her four handicaps and was tailed off at Plumpton (3m1f) last time; may have had stamina issues in that race but things haven't clicked for her yet and she needs improvement back in trip. |
10/1 |

26th Feb 2024 Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Best run yet in handicaps when about a 10l fourth at Southwell (2m4f, good to soft) but he did weaken late on and now goes up in distance; dangerous to underestimate his trainer's thinking but stamina has to be doubted. |

22nd Apr 2024 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Has not finished closer than 22l to a winner in her nine starts including three handicaps; long way out of the weights again and can only be watched. |
