25th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 207y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
Generally disappointing during light campaign last season but turned things around with staying-on third here (2m4f, good to soft) on final start in April; remains well handicapped on older form and will be suited by this return to 3m; can't be ignored. |

11th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 19y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
7-52; enjoyed the run of the race, making all, at Wetherby (2m4f, soft; 18-1; from 6lb lower) on penultimate start; ran to a similar level (third) behind the newly blinkered Rath Gaul Hill back there subsequently; no issue with Newcastle; player with Alice Stevens claiming 3lb. |

3rd 1 |
17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
His last two wins have come over C&D (soft), the latest in January when last seen; also effective on good ground; this 10yo is inconsistent and has never won off a mark this high, but he comfortably made all last time and could well make another bold bid if he's on another going day. |

25th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 7f 199y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
12yo who is without a win since 2021 and is going beyond 3m1f for the first time; however, having dropped down the weights, he took a step back in the right direction when third over Carlisle's stiff 3m recently and his trainer does very well with veterans; not discounted. |

3rd 5 |
8th Mar 2026 Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Remains without a victory since 2021 and he's been pulled up on his last three runs, most recently in 2m7f Newcastle handicap in January; he's not easy to make a case for. |
14/1 |

27th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
12yo who needs to prove how much ability he retains; however, he's well handicapped on his best 2024 efforts and he may have needed the run at Aintree three months ago following an absence (pulled up); not written off. |

26th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Dual hurdle winner and unbeaten in two handicap chases (2m4f/3m; good to soft) some 448 days apart, latterly beating Geryville by a length; clearly able when fresh and he's off the same mark as last time; stable won this last year and also runs Chasing Fire. |

26th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Won from the front at Ayr (3m, soft; beat Marown by 6.5l) in December to make it 3-9 over fences; couldn't lead when disappointing three months ago; if getting to the front he's not without hope of staying there. |

3rd Feb 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 138y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Returned to form with front-running win at Ayr (3m, soft) in December and is now 3-9 over fences; should be fine on this right-handed track but latest 7lb rise demands more from him and he may not be allowed an uncontested lead this time. |
