18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Belied 40-1 odds when creditable third at Kelso (2m5f, good to soft; wore cheekpieces) in March but weakened quickly after making a lot of the running over C&D (good; visored, as today) three weeks ago and is now 0-9 for stable; needs recent wind op to have made a big difference. |

11st 1lb |
Two placings this spring give him a chance but they were followed by two lesser efforts and latest was C&D when tongue tied first time since 2024; visor (used twice in 2025) returns instead of usual cheekpieces; stable runs two. |

A tongue-tie is added after his Kelso disappointment and his two previous runs in 2m5f/2m3f handicaps certainly bring him into the equation; unraced here. |

Some decent placed form over fences last year, most notably when 6.5l second to Kyle Valley at Tramore (2m6f, yld) in handicap chase off 79 in May; proved he's in good heart when runner-up in point-to-point last month so he could figure. |
