13th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Multiple hurdle/chase winner but he's lost his way since a 2m4f success at Ffos Las (good to soft) last June and has offered little in three runs this season; well treated on his best form but with plenty to prove. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Multiple hurdle/chase winner; unseated rider in early stages of a chase last month, after a layoff, and was tailed-off 66-1 shot when back over hurdles at Worcester (2m7f, good) 17 days ago; others have much less to prove. |

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
7-39, with three wins over hurdles, but he's hard to predict and was badly out of sorts in the autumn; unseated early on last month's return and reverts to hurdles off his last winning mark, but it's difficult to know what to expect. |

8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 5f 54y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Suited by the step back up to 3m at Doncaster (3m) last month on fourth chase attempt, building on reappearance effort and opening his account; may show additional progress upped further in distance; shortlisted. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Record of 6-17 over fences after doing it comfortably at Chepstow (2m7f, good to soft) where Buckna was back in third; a likeable type who looks sure to give his running and be heavily involved; 5lb rise is fair. |
7/2 |
|
1st 6 |
11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Record of 5-16 over fences and he defied today's mark with a 12l win in this race (good) last year; has not seen much action since but he returned after four months off with a creditable fourth at Newbury (2m6f, good to soft) last month; should benefit from that run and he's an interesting contender back at this track. |
11/4 |
|
4th 3 |
20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 6f 93y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
He wasn't in the best form coming into this race last year (good to soft), yet he battled hard for a narrow win and then followed up by 12l at Chepstow (good); only 2lb higher than for the latter win and could very easily stage a revival. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Rather in and out, and followed a Ludlow win (3m, good to soft) in December with a listless fourth over the same C&D three weeks ago; needs first-time headgear to inject some sparkle. |
6/1 |

4th 2 |
26th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Returned to form with hard-fought C&D (good to soft) win in December, his second C&D success, and was nudged up only 1lb for that; obvious contender if in similar mood again. |
3/1 |

25th Oct 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 2 |
10st 5lb |
Went up 5lb for winning a 3m handicap that fell apart at Ludlow (good to soft) in February and that was under a 3lb claimer; probably has no margin for error off this mark and that spells danger in this warm a race; that said, his Chepstow run after a break was encouraging. |
