2nd Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Last win came in December 2024 off 6lb higher; hasn't been firing on all cylinders recently but is down to a career-low mark and cannot dismiss. |

21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Returned from three-month break with respectable fourth here (2m3f, soft) in March last time and will be fine over this longer trip, but he's not really been firing on all cylinders since last summer; others appeal more. |
14/1 |

16th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Seemingly aided by addition of cheekpieces when making the frame three consecutive times (2m7f-3m) towards end of last year but still wasn't really firing on all cylinders; should be fine over this shorter trip but the headgear is missing today and he needs to have been refreshed by his three-month break. |

28th Aug 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

0-9 under rules, including two starts over fences; returns from a second long absence and probably best watched unless the market speaks otherwise. |

9th Feb 2023 Good 2m 7f 214y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Well treated on hurdle form from May 2021 but he was then absent until December 2022, when tailed off, and he's since been pulled up on his chase debut at Wincanton; plenty to prove. |

28th Aug 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Well beaten on handicap hurdle debut in March 2022 and pulled up on chase debut (3m2f, good to soft) in December; finished tailed off on last month's hurdles return and hard to make a case from out of the weights. |

10th Jul 2023 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Well beaten on handicap hurdle debut in March 2022 (2m) and pulled up when upped to 3m2f for chasing debut in December; remains unexposed and is worth a glance in the betting but others have more obvious claims; 5lb wrong. |
25/1 |

30th Dec 2022 Good 3m 2f 57y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Tailed off in novice hurdles and not much better on handicap debut when last seen in March; on the plus side, he won an Irish point so possible he could show much more now switched to fences and up in trip, with tongue-strap fitted and Jamie Moore booked. |

21st Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Possible to forgive last month's stable/seasonal debut, in which she did too much out in front over a trip longer than optimum; more in her favour here, and 2lb below her one winning mark; some appeal. |
12/1 |

5th Jun 2025 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Just 1-13 over fences but she rallied well to finish runner-up off a similar mark at Hereford (2m5f, good) in October; returns for new yard but she has run well when fresh in the past and looks worth another try at this trip; in the mix with Sean Bowen booked. |

Winning pointer; only modest form on handicap/chase debut, beaten 44l at Stratford (2m1f, good) in June; should be suited by the step back up in trip with cheekpieces returning; others have more pressing claims. |

Two more chase wins in 2025, the latest at Windsor (3m, good to soft; suited by good) in November; often battled with unsuitable ground over the winter but 4lb lower than at Windsor so has a weights chance. |

10st 10lb |
Won at Bangor (2m4f, soft) off 3lb higher in October 2023 but out of sorts in four starts since and pulled up in July when possibly finding his stamina stretched by 3m2f; hard to recommend on recent form. |

26th Jul 2024 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Largely consistent in early part of last season, and deserved his hard-fought win at Bangor (2m4f, soft) in October; fell on reappearance outing in May but last month's Worcester run was not as bad as eventual 39l defeat might suggest, and that outing might have brought him on. |
