12th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Placed off 1lb lower at Wincanton (2m4f, soft) in January and is also suited by faster ground but weakened tamely on latest outing and has basically become a shade disappointing; sports first-time cheekpieces. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 181y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won twice in his novice season (2m/2m3f, good to soft/good); yet to win a handicap but fair third at Wincanton last time (2m4f, soft); suited by drier ground. |

Not in top form in two handicaps (at about 2m) since returning from lengthy absence and wind surgery; this could be more his trip but he has questions to answer now. |

1m6f winner on the Flat; useful form when winning a Ludlow novice on stable debut (2m, good to soft) but below that level since, with his latest second at Sedgefield remote (following wind surgery); now on a recovery mission. |

Made virtually all to score over C&D (soft) in February, his third start over fences, and was very creditable third in higher-grade company at Sandown (2m4f, good) last month; ought to be a very tough nut to crack. |

20th Jul 2025 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Irish point winner; a bumpy road in Britain but he went close over C&D in June and came well clear at Stratford (2m6f, good to firm) last weekend; probably not straightforward and he has hung away from the whip but likely has an easier task under a penalty than when reassessed. |

Very hit and miss and ran moderately last time at Newton Abbot (3m2f), but did finish runner-up there the time before so there's a big run in him. |

4th Jul 2025 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |

Low-mileage 7yo; made inauspicious start to chasing career last summer but returned from layoff with creditable second over C&D (good) last month and has scope to build on that performance; must be considered. |

18th Jun 2024 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won three chases last year from 2m4f to 2m5f when the ground was no slower than good to soft; latest return to chasing at Ffos Las was underwhelming, even allowing for the trip of 2m3f. |

30th May 2024 Good 2m 3f 83y Class 4 |

Won three chases over slightly longer trips last year when the ground was no slower than good to soft; current mark won't be easy but this race is a better fit than the novice hurdle he contested last time. |

24th Apr 2024 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Better known as a chaser these days, with three of his four wins in that discipline gained last year; returns to hurdling over a trip short of his best and looks vulnerable. |

11st 10lb |
Beaten under 6l when fifth (just behind Mattie Ross) on handicap debut at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good to soft) in May and is 5lb lower here but needs to bounce back from a poor performance over 2m4f last month. |

19th Jun 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Mark looked about right ahead of last month's Uttoxeter handicap debut (good to soft), from which the most immediate conclusion to draw was that 2m7f is too far at this stage; remains of interest dropped 1lb and 3f. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |

Made the breakthrough on his fifth start over fences when scoring here (3m2f, good) last Wednesday; back down in trip under 7lb penalty but not fully exposed and looks a key player. |

6th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |

Lengthy breaks are a feature in his profile; beaten at least 10l in all four runs over fences (2m5f-3m1f) and brought up the rear last time at Plumpton; unconvincing. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 157y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Lightly raced and lengthy breaks are a feature in his profile; beaten at least 10l in all three runs over fences (2m5f-3m1f) and he needs to find a bit from somewhere to defy this sort of mark, for all that it's dropped. |

14-race maiden with a Flat background and ran poorly in two handicap hurdles for Tim Vaughan; what he'll make of chasing is anyone's guess but wouldn't be hopeful. |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
0-9 over hurdles but he has won in other disciplines and his 8l second of ten to Cooler Than Me over C&D (heavy; 100-1) last time was easily his most competitive show as a handicap hurdler; considered for a place. |

Won three 2m7f handicaps (all on good) in early part of last season; made low-key return behind Tranquil Sea last month but that race was competitive and, with that run behind him, he may yet have more improvement to come. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 2 |

Absent since an October double (2m7f Class 3) that took his hurdles record to 4-12; returns to action off a stiffer mark in deeper waters and looks by no means certain to bag the hat-trick. |

11th Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 3 |

Has quickly struck up a good partnership with Isabelle Ryder and he came from well back to win easily at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) last Sunday; if he's in the same sort of form he'll be in the mix again under a 7lb penalty. |
