22nd Oct 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 25y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Boosted by cheekpieces in May/June, most notably when winning by 6l at Fontwell (3m2f, good to soft); returned from 11-week break with lesser effort last month but has a fighting chance here if he comes on for the run. |

16th Sep 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Boosted by cheekpieces in May/June, most notably when winning by 6l at Fontwell (3m2f, good to soft); ahead of Lihyan and Juan Bermudez when respectable fifth in quite valuable race at Uttoceter (2m7f, good to soft) last time and again benefits from Dylan Johnston's useful 5lb claim. |

30th Jun 2024 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
10st 6lb |
Back hurdling in first-time cheekpieces when comfortably beating his four rivals at Fontwell (3m2f, good) but questionable whether he was quite so effective when beaten there next time (off this 5lb higher mark); hasn't always been the easiest to predict. |

6th May 2024 Good 3m 0f 110y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Good and bad in five chase starts since finishing runner-up in this race 12 months ago off this very mark (good ground); ran well enough in his final chase run to believe he's in similar form. |

13th Jun 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 3 |
10st 10lb |
Ended last year with two good-ground wins at Hereford (3m1f) and returned from break with good fourth at Plumpton (3m1f, good) in April; slightly disappointing on good to soft last month but may still have a bit more to offer; swaps blinkers for first-time visor today. |

1st Nov 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Runner-up in all three bumpers but has mixed record over hurdles and was tailed off at Fontwell (3m2f) in his final run in the spring; on reduced mark for this chase debut but he's now 0-10 and comes with risks attached after a break; new headgear. |

3rd Mar 2024 Soft 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-8 over hurdles and not very consistent but his second of eight off today's mark at Lingfield (2m7f, soft) In November was a good effort, and he was only beaten about 3l when third of four in tactical race over that C&D ten days ago; contender if he takes well to fences at first attempt. |
