20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 6f 151y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Seemed to be travelling well before falling four out at Southwell (2m4f, good; first run after wind op) last month and remains well handicapped but has not been firing on all cylinders for new stable this season; swaps visor for first-time cheekpieces; others have more pressing claims. |

11st 12lb |
Won a novice hurdle and two handicap chases for Alan King; no closer than 13l in five runs for this yard, the last two over hurdles; had a wind operation. |

9th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 66y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won two three-runner handicap chases at Plumpton (2m3f, good) for Alan King in 2024; mainly disappointing for present yard, including in today's headgear back over hurdles at Uttoxeter last time (2m4f, good to soft); first hurdle/chase run on slower than good to soft ground. |

20th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Very useful chaser in his prime but last month's hurdling win at Fontwell (2m5f, good) came off a hugely reduced handicap mark and it's not easy to predict whether his revival will gather momentum. |

22nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Has been through a quiet spell but he ran respectably when fourth at Worcester (2m4f, good; tongue-tie refitted) last time; likely to need more. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Very useful chaser in his prime but this year's efforts, in three hurdles and a chase, make him tough to recommend. |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 214y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Won three in a row early last year (2m4f-2m6f, good/good to soft) before keeping on well for second over 3m1f at Cheltenham (good); returned from break with good second at Fakenham (2m5f, good to soft) last month and she's high on the list today. |

18th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 44y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Five-time chase winner (good/good to soft; once over C&D); absent since very respectable third at Aintree (2m4f, good) last May but this race is easier and she features prominently in calculations. |
11/4 |
|
3rd 5 |
16th May 2025 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Back in prime form towards end of last season, winning three in a row (2m4f-2m6f) before creditable second in valuable series final at Cheltenham (3m1f, good); ought to be right in the thick of things again here. |
