11st 7lb |
Took to fences immediately at Stratford in May (2m7f, good; RPR 117), and running to the same level on far softer ground at Uttoxeter since was highly commendable; credible contender off an unchanged mark. |

11st 10lb |
Took to fences immediately at Stratford (2m7f, good; RPR 117), and a 4lb rise for that narrow success isn't excessive; missed a subsequent engagement here due to soft ground, so the wet forecast has to be a worry. |

Unseated early last time at Perth; it was an ordinary handicap by Class 2 standards that he won at Worcester (2m4f, good) the time before but that was all very straightforward as he jumped well out in front; could catch some of these cold from a fitness perspective. |

11st 2lb |
Showed benefit of wind op when bouncing back to form with ready win at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) last month and is now 2-3 over hurdles; contests much deeper race here but it's hard to gauge the limit of her ability. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Has a patchy profile but she made it 2-6 over fences when justifying favouritism here (2m4f, good) last month; up 6lb but that was a personal best last time and her other chase win came over this C&D; key player. |

30th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 11y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Making stable debut when scoring comfortably over 3m here in January (good to soft) but has to get back on track after three lesser efforts (the latest in a first-time visor). |

15th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |

Won easily over fences at Ludlow (3m) in January on debut for this yard but nothing since, latterly with cheekpieces back on; now tries a visor; risky enough. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 8y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
Won twice as a novice last season and ended up in the National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham (tailed off after racing freely); this campaign is going well and he should stay okay as he wasn't stopping when runner-up over Exeter's super-stiff 3m6f in December (soft); the race he won at Wincanton last time (3m1f, heavy; cheekpieces returned) rather fell apart but he did hack up and the 6lb rise could been a whole lot worse; it's a nagging concern that all five wins have been on right-handed tracks but there's lots to like otherwise about this 7yo. |

29th Jan 2026 Heavy 3m 1f 30y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Dual chase winner who goes well in the mud and he could have done with slower ground when a 6l third over C&D on Boxing Day (good to soft); entitled to step up on that effort here and enters the reckoning. |
5/2 |

11th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 5f 201y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Scored at Exeter (3m, good to soft) in October on second attempt over fences and brushed two lesser efforts aside with a game, front-running win in first-time cheekpieces at Taunton (2m7f, soft) five weeks ago; up 4lb but stays 3m well and could have more to offer. |

15th Nov 2024 Good 2m 7f 91y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
This is much easier than the three 0-120 novice handicaps he's contested over fences so far, but mistakes have been as much the issue as race class, as was again the case at Carlisle latest; down 3lb more. |

3rd 5 |
24th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 3m 2f 34y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Point runner-up (3m, soft) who won a handicap hurdle at Bangor (2m7f, good) in June; he's well treated on that form and things may click over fences at some stage, but there have been jumping errors and heavy defeats on his first two chase starts. |
