14th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Found 2m3f too sharp a test three runs back but progressive otherwise this season at up to 3m and he had Ma Shantou and Jig's Forge behind when digging deepest in a Grade 2 at Doncaster last time (3m, good to soft); this demands a whole lot more and he has plenty to find with Jet Blue on their clash here in December. |

6th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Maiden hurdle winner last summer; had to settle for second when well backed for recent chasing debut at Worcester (2m4f, good) but that was his first run for nearly seven months and he was nicely clear of the third; only 1lb higher here and will be hard to beat if combination of refitted tongue-tie and first-time cheekpieces has any positive effect. |

Low-mileage 7yo who won a maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last summer; safely held in two handicap hurdles in the autumn, though, and makes his chasing debut after a 205-day absence. |

A dual winner (at about 3m) last April but he's not been seen since coming in a well-held third of five in 3m2f handicap chase at Newton Abbot ten months ago; he needs to hit the ground running. |

1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 150y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Won two points in spring 2024 but he's failed to complete in last four runs including in hurdle handicaps (125-1) in his last two starts; still lightly raced in this sphere but he has a lot to prove back up in trip; cheekpieces added. |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Won two points in spring 2024; modest form as a novice over hurdles that summer but failed to complete in two points last spring and it was the same story on handicap debut over C&D (125-1) two weeks ago. |

21st Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Quickly made his mark in handicaps for this yard with two front-running wins over C&D (good to soft/soft) this winter, latterly ending 12l to the good; up to this 11lb higher mark in a much better race when only fifth of 11 back over C&D on latest outing but he is back down in class today. |

2nd Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
10st 6lb |
1-10 in points; however, he's now 2-6 over hurdles after front-running wins over C&D (good to soft/soft) on last two starts, last time easily stretching clear from approaching three out and ending 12l to the good; up another 11lb in a much better race, but it's hard to pin down just how good he is. |

AW winner over 1m4f but 0-11 over hurdles; respectable efforts off low marks in handicaps at Ludlow (3m, good) and Newton Abbot (2m2f, soft) but up against it on these terms. |

1st May 2026 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
More than 5l too good in a Stratford novice hunter in March (2m5f, soft) despite whacking the last, and no shame since when second at Lower Machen giving the prolific Fumet d'Oudairies 3lb; could argue he's marginally more compelling at sub-3m trips, but among the likeliest even so. |

6th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Went close in Newton Abbot novice hurdle (2m5f, good) for Paul Nicholls last summer but quickly became very disappointing for him; drying ground might aid his cause on today's stable/chase debut but he has a lot more to prove than some of these. |

Well beaten on his last three starts, the last two being his first handicaps (2m5f, soft); something to prove but he was second in a good-ground 2m5f novice hurdle at Newton Abbot last June, and the return to better ground may help; stamina in pedigree and with leading yard; no forlorn hope. |

Placed in a couple of handicaps in April/June 2022 but has not been seen since falling (held at the time) upped to 2m4f at Worcester in July of that year; probably best watched returning from a 715-day absence. |
