1st Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Won on reappearance at Wetherby (2m4f, good to soft) and made it 4-6 over hurdles when returning to winning ways at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) four weeks ago; has also won elsewhere (first visit here); could be suited by today's extra yardage and he's a strong contender. |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
5lb higher than when a 6l winner of this last year, beating Ike Sport; returns on the back of two solid efforts at Newcastle; chance. |

2nd 1 |
31st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
This race was one of the three he won last season, all of them on good or good to soft at this trip; on his last winning mark and, after his running-on second over 2m1f here last time, should go well again. |
2/1 |
|
2nd 1 |
14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 190y Class 3 |

Won back to back at Aintree & Hexham (both 2m4f) last summer, rising to a career-high mark of 134; kicked off 2026 with a solid effort at Doncaster (2m4f, soft; runner-up) and he's capable of bouncing back from a lesser effort at Kelso since. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 207y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Three consecutive wins over hurdles in May/June (2m-2m7f, good/good to soft) and he was running okay in that sphere last month; however, he has something to find in today's company and he didn't improve for the switch to fences when soundly beaten in January on his sole previous chase start. |

26th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Came up rather short in higher grade last time; solid record (1112) in Class 4 otherwise this term, albeit has shot up the weights as a result; may be in the assessor's grip now. |

5th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
It took a return to selling level to regain the winning thread in May but has since gone 112 in 2m4f/2m7f handicaps; getting high in the weights (nudged up another 1lb) but he's pretty solid. |

19th Mar 2025 Good 2m 2f 191y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Well handicapped on his form up to May 2023 and he's one to watch in the betting, but he's struggled over hurdles and fences this season following a long absence, and has plenty to prove. |
16/1 |

12th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 154y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Potentially on a good mark but it's been a struggle this season after a layoff and a sudden turnaround is needed with a first-time visor replacing cheekpieces. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Defied much higher marks twice, including over C&D, a couple of years ago; has failed to repeat the form since and ran particularly poorly last time. |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 88y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Five-time hurdle winner who continues to drop down the weights; however, it's a long time since this 11yo has been competitive. |

3rd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 1f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Five-time winner, including over 2m3f here; hasn't been at his best in two runs this season and probably best watched in what looks a competitive event. |
