15th Apr 2026 Good 2m 5f 50y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Won over fences last season and has won twice over hurdles since September; now he's on a recovery mission after very quiet runs at Windsor (2m4f) and at the Cheltenham Festival (3m; again on his favoured good ground). |

12th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
10st 8lb |
Won two chases last season and 2-4 back hurdling this term, with all those wins on good ground but he also scored on soft in his novice days; however, tailed off at Windsor on New Year's Day, unraced beyond 2m5f under rules and needs to resume his improvement. |

10st 9lb |
2-5 over fences last season and gamely made all when back over hurdles for last month's reappearance at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good); might have a fitness edge over some of these but is 4lb higher in a much deeper race today. |

17th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Three chase wins last season, the first two over C&D (good/good to soft); not beaten far when last of six at Cheltenham in April but remains on career-high mark for this reappearance run and takes on some unexposed rivals. |

17th Apr 2025 Good 2m 0f 62y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Outclassed in a Listed race two runs back but admirably consistent otherwise and a 4lb rise for beating Ostrava Du Berlais at Warwick the last time (2m, good) is more than fair; strong claims. |

23rd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Ran respectably when third of five over hurdles at regular haunt Plumpton (2m4f, good) last month; better known as a chaser these days but he looks weighted near best off this mark and is untried beyond 2m5f; has some work to do back in this sphere. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Came up short last time when bidding for a chase hat-trick; only 1-11 over hurdles and hasn't raced in this sphere for nearly two years but there are positives, namely a lower mark in this sphere and a good overall record (4-8) at Plumpton. |

25th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Best known for his heroics at Bangor but showed career-best form when winning narrowly at Warwick (3m1f, good) last month; 3lb rise demands even more from him here; usual cheekpieces left off; tongue-tie added. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 5y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Goes particularly well at Bangor but was runner-up at Aintree on final run in October (3m, good); however, a 3lb rise sees him on a career-high mark and he's been off a good while. |

26th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 149y Class 3 |

Made it two wins from his last three starts when scoring at Bangor (2m7f, good) in September; however, his last four wins have come there and he was well beaten at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) last time; has his first run here. |

11st 13lb |
Back in prime form when last seen in the autumn, winning at Ludlow before running well in defeat at Kempton (also 2m5f, good); contender if ready to roll after six-month break. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 5f 55y Class 5 |

Comeback run was better than latest effort but, as on his reappearance, he just goes in a tongue-tie here; no surprise should he bounce back. |

26th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Dual chase winner but below his best in two runs over fences during March; returns to hurdling off a realistic mark and has placed form in this discipline. |
100/30 |
|
2nd 4 |
29th Mar 2026 Good 2m 5f 13y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Won twice around Fontwell (2m3f/2m2f) during this month last year and well treated on all that; didn't appear to see out 3m last time at Kempton and the return of cheekpieces is a likely positive; goes on good ground; hard to dismiss. |
