20th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Put a disappointing run of form behind him when returning to winning ways over C&D (good) 11 days ago, making all; whether he can reproduce that effort is another matter but he is still well handicapped on his old form. |

9th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 5y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
His two wins came on soft in April 2024; out of sorts over fences and hurdles this term; cheekpieces return and has dropped to a career-low mark but doesn't look ready to take advantage. |

His two wins came on soft in April 2024; out of sorts over fences and hurdles this term; drops back in trip but his best form has been over further. |

9th May 2025 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Began 2024 with quite stylish win for Olly Murphy at Southwell (2m, good to soft) but became rather disappointing during light campaign last season and was sold for 3,400gns in February; needs to have been revitalised by subsequent change of scenery. |

1st Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Won on reappearance at Wetherby (2m4f, good to soft) and made it 4-6 over hurdles when returning to winning ways at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) four weeks ago; has also won elsewhere (first visit here); could be suited by today's extra yardage and he's a strong contender. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |

Winless since 2023 and he's been off the track since pulled up in 3m handicap in November; on a useful mark if resurgent after a break. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Lost out only by a nose to Orange Diamond over C&D (good) in August but was not quite in same form when fifth behind same rival here last month and has become far too inconsistent to rely upon. |

16th Sep 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Placed twice (once over C&D) for Ralph Smith when cheekpieces were refitted this summer and has claims if judged on those efforts, but needs to rebound from last month's underwhelming stable debut. |
20/1 |

8th 1 |
28th Aug 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Hasn't won for ages but twice placed this summer (2m7f/2m6f) for Ralph Smith and can go well again off this mark provided another change of stable doesn't rock the boat. |
7/1 |

2nd 7 |
2nd Jul 2024 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Returned from break with two fairly respectable runs towards the end of last season (2m3f/2m4f) and another when third over 2m7f in the refitted cheekpieces at Worcester one month ago; not the force of old and has not won since 2021 but has place claims. |

2nd Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-9 over fences but he seemed to respond well to cheekpieces when runner-up on final two starts last season (2m5f/2m4f) and may not have been suited by the drop back to 2m when below form here in May; a possible. |

23rd May 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Sole win in 15 starts came over hurdles in France as a 3yo, but he has finished runner-up in four of his six outings since returning to fences last summer; all of those were over further, but he hasn't quite been getting home so the drop in trip looks an interesting move. |

Smart chaser in his prime; on the downgrade now and has rather mixed record over hurdles this season but lurks on a very tempting mark and ought to handle today's ground well; will be very dangerous if perked up by first-time blinkers. |
