2nd Jun 2025 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-9 over fences but twice runner-up; has another go in this discipline on the back of a comfortable win over hurdles here (2m4f, good) in a race he also won 12 months earlier; now rated 10lb lower as a chaser so has obvious claims. |

9lb lower when an easy winner of this 12 months ago but he can deal with this mark and latest close third at Ffos Las (good to soft) was commendable given he likes good ground; could very easily win this again. |

7th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |

Dual hurdle winner last year, latterly over C&D (good) in October; absent since lesser effort here in November, though, and will need to resume in prime form to have a chance off his current mark. |

Well backed when returning to winning form over C&D (good) last month with three of these behind; a 6lb rise and a lack of consistency the main obstacles to a follow-up. |

18th Jul 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
C&D win in May 2022; ran respectably off 10lb higher five months later but lost his way in his only three races since; makes limited appeal returning from a 454-day absence with a tongue-tie now added to the cheekpieces. |

Latest two defeats on either side of wind surgery were on good to soft and he prefers drier ground; his third of 12 over 3m at Ffos Las in October brings him into it. |

Hurdles record of 5-32 includes wins over 3m on good ground at Wetherby in October and Haydock latest start; holding his form well and is better than ever; may remain competitive. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 3m 1f 5y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Running well at present and he followed a Wetherby win (3m) in October with a solid third at Bangor (2m7f, also good), despite giving Joe Anderson a workout, 12 days later; has form on soft and is one to consider. |
8/1 |

27th Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 4 |

Arguably posted career-best performance when winning at Warwick (3m, good) 12 days ago, but is 6lb higher in a stronger race and not always one to rely upon; others appeal more. |

Got off the mark when dead-heating at Huntingdon (2m3f, good to soft) in May; not disgraced over 2m7f at Worcester on his last two starts and he shouldn't be far away. |

Awarded the race when forcing a dead-heat at Huntingdon (2m4f, good to soft) in May and ran well when just over 8l fourth under Ben Sutton to Indian Sunbird over C&D 17 days ago; closely matched with that rival on the revised terms and shouldn't be far away. |

Won a chase over 3m in September and nearly won another two runs back; produced a solid effort in defeat on his return to hurdling here last week and Sean Bowen rides again. |
5/4 |

2nd 6 |
16th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Gained a breakthrough win over fences at Market Rasen (3m) in September and posted a good second in handicap chase at Leicester (2m7f) when last seen out in December; proved reliable over hurdles so rates a player back in this sphere off a reduced mark. |

1st Sep 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Sole win was over hurdles in 2021; hurtling down the weights this summer for new yard and some ability remains, including when back to chasing in first-time cheekpieces on latest start, so he's not entirely dismissed. |
25/1 |
|
6th 4 |
17th Aug 2024 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Hurdling recently; thrown in on his late-2021 win and place form on softer ground than may await here; mark tumbling despite offering slightly more latest, but he didn't look entirely happy in two chasing starts at the end of 2022. |
33/1 |

11st 2lb |
Has returned to form of late and gained his fifth chase success, at Ffos Las (3m, good) last month; there was no disgrace in finishing second to a resurgent Tommy Beau at Fakenham (3m5f, good) this month and he holds strong claims while in this form. |

4th May 2026 Good 3m 5f 24y Class 3 |
