4th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
12st 6lb |
Won a point and a Fakenham hunter chase about this time last year before predictably struggling at lengthy odds in the feature hunter chases at Cheltenham and Aintree; badly let down by his jumping in calmer waters afterwards and this 11yo now has much to prove. |

14th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
12st 8lb |
Won a point and a Fakenham hunter chase in February before making no impact in the big hunter chases at Cheltenham and Aintree (behind when unseating); found no fluency and was well held when falling at Stratford (2m6f, good); comes with risks on the back of that effort but this is a modest contest. |

Maiden was a close second at Punchestown last year over 2m7f; has been poor in a hurdle and chase start this year so has to return to best. |

Went close at Punchestown in October (2m7f, gd-yld) and just 1lb higher here; should strip fitter for spin over hurdles at that venue in June and has placed at this trip over timber; not discounted back over fences. |

12th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 1f 48y |

Got his head back in front over timber at Fairyhouse in April; struggled on the level since and yet to show enough in five starts over fences to suggest he can defy this mark. |

30th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y |

Dual-purpose veteran won a handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse in April on soft to heavy; last of 8 on first run since on the level at Tramore (2m, good); is 4lb lower than last Flat success but softer ground would be preferable. |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 70y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
He's on a competitive mark on chase form as recent as last July; however, he hasn't been at his best on either outing this winter and is now 0-9 over fences; needs to raise his game in first-time blinkers (replacing a visor); well beaten in the NH Chase (3m6f) at last season's Festival. |

11st 0lb |
Two-time hurdles winner for Gordon Elliott in 2023; out of form for former yard, but there were definite signs of life pn stable debut when fourth of 12 over fences at Tramore, making a bad mistake at the fifth; that is something to build on back over timber now. |
