1st Nov 2025 Good 3m 0f 45y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won when upped to 2m7f at Musselburgh (2m7f, good to soft) in February and his novice chase campaign concluded with a close third at Perth (3m, good to soft) in April; he's had wind surgery since; he may improve for today's reappearance outing but this lightly raced 6yo is not ruled out. |

In the frame in five of his six races over fences this season, winning over this trip at Musselburgh in February (good to soft) and last time finishing 8l fourth at Carlisle (3m, good); each-way chance. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Three listless performances since returning from 13 months out; 12lb below his last winning mark now, but no good thing to capitalise. |

2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Won twice in November 2024 (2m7f/3m, good/good to soft) but mainly disappointing since including on both runs since a 404-day break; plenty to prove at present. |

Stays 3m and acts on the forecast sound surface; 50-1, always behind and pulled up on his return from 13 months off the track at Wetherby on latest start; bit to prove. |

11th Sep 2025 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
C&D winner in May on his second start for James Owen and was holding his form until heavy defeats in his final two races; now on a recovery mission. |
8/1 |

3rd 2 |
29th Aug 2025 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Scored at Uttoxeter (3m, good) in May, his second start for James Owen, and ran big race when clear second to thriving opponent at Cartmel (3m1f, soft) in June; needs to bounce back from last month's duff effort at Market Rasen but still features prominently in calculations. |

19th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Looked a hard ride when second at Bangor (3m, good) but travelled sweeter with the blinkers back on at Cartmel (3m1f, soft) and just missed out; nudged up another 3lb but has to be respected. |

If he's to make the breakthrough it will probably be over fences (0-9; three seconds) but he wasn't pulling up any trees when last seen in the spring. |

9th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 68y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Front-runner who won on chase debut at Hexham (1m7f, good) in October and has run well in second the next twice (2m/1m7f, good to soft/good); he's fine at this trip (and on a variety of ground) and was effective here over hurdles; can make another bold bid. |
4/1 |

2nd 2 |
8th Nov 2024 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Winning hurdler who has taken well to fences, beating Caithness by a head over C&D on debut last month before fair second off this 4lb higher mark at Carlisle (2m, good to soft); should go well again. |
11/4 |
