Productive spell over hurdles culminated in a hat-trick last spring; 0-4 switched to fences since but ran encouragingly at Chepstow most recently; clear possibilities off a reduced mark. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 136y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Won chase debut in February 2025 and back to form with blinkers enlisted when second on last two outings, but all three of those runs were over 2m and there is plenty to prove judged on his attempts at 2m4f/3m; cheekpieces return and their previous usage includes that one win. |
9/1 |

2nd 5 |
6th Mar 2026 Soft 1m 7f 201y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Took a step forward in a change of headgear when second of eight in handicap over C&D 22 day ago, hindered by a blunder two out; this C&D winner is a likely player if blinkers have the same effect a second time. |

12th Feb 2026 Heavy 1m 7f 201y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Opened his account when winning on chase debut over C&D (soft) last February but he's not come close to that form in four subsequent runs; overall record is now 1-21 and he needs new headgear to give him a boost. |

29th Aug 2025 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
0-13 over hurdles but went down fighting when close second at Southwell (2m4f, good) in May and again ran well at Stratford (2m6f, good to firm) last month; well suited by ground slower than good; high on the list. |
7/2 |

13th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |

Three runs since wind surgery and the blip came over fences; clear second at Southwell last time (2m4f, good) and might well have won had he not fluffed the last flight; should run well off just 3lb higher. |

20th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Pulled up after sketchy round of jumping on chasing debut in February and now reverts to hurdling; given a chance by the handicapper in this sphere but his record is not compelling and he has raced mainly on ground slower than good. |

16th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 68y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
9yo point winner who is 0-7 under rules but there were encouraging signs over fences last winter and he shaped on his comeback over hurdles two months ago as though he would improve for that run; he's one to consider. |

26th Jan 2025 Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Well beaten on all four starts over hurdles, most recently his handicap debut, and he could do with settling better; however, he may have needed that latest outing and has potential off this basement mark in view of his fair Flat ability; not ruled out in weak race in first-time tongue-tie. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Has continued to run well since his Huntingdon win in Februaray (2m4f, soft), last time giving everything in a narrow defeat over C&D; 2lb higher with Tom Hutsby again aboard; should have every chance. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 5 |
9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Off the mark when well clear at Huntingdon (2m4f, soft) in February but paid the handicapping price after; it's been harder since but he was unfortunate to run up against one who relished the new 3m3f test at Stratford (good) in April, although he still ran well; major player in first 3m run. |
4/1 |

2nd 4 |
19th Apr 2026 Good 3m 3f 119y Class 5 |

Got off the mark over fences at Huntingdon (2m4f, soft) in February with first-time visor applied (retained since); in the money in two runs since and now steps up beyond 3m for the first time; holds place claims at least. |

1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
0-18 but does possess ability as when second of 15 on his return from four months off here (1m2f, good to firm) nine days ago; usually takes a good grip, though, and this sort of trip has found him out in the past. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 14 (12) |
23rd May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Slowly into stride but still finished second to subsequent prolific winner in similar event over C&D around this time last year; blew the start again when beaten a head at Leicester (1m2f, also good to firm) three weeks later; still not perfected the art of starting but mark is reduced after AW spell and he's dangerous back on turf if ready after a break. |
15/2 |

5th 8 (10) |
28th Jan 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

Maiden who regularly fluffs the start; failed to get home over 1m4f last time but whether he needs a drop back to 1m is debatable; best form when runner-up twice over 1m2f (on turf). |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Dual 1m6f AW winner at Wolverhampton this year, both times under Zoe Lewis; did not enjoy run of the race when well-held third there 18 days ago and also has form over this C&D; probably won't be far away. |
5/1 |

3rd 5 (8) |
11th May 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Not the most consistent but made it 2-3 over C&D, and 2-3 for Zoe Lewis, off a 3lb lower mark in a first-time tongue-tie five weeks ago (previously behind Tuba); player if in the same mood. |

Off the mark over C&D (18-1) in January under Zoe Lewis; disappointing at Newcastle (12.5f) next time and didn't see out his race back here (sixth) last week; tongue-tie now added. |
