16th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Very useful staying hurdler who has won six of his 13 races, two of them last season, at Haydock in December (3m, good to soft) and at Warwick in March (3m2f, good to soft); not so good last time but these conditions suit and he could bounce back. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Back in good form this winter, including on last two starts (good to soft) when he prevailed narrowly over C&D in December and battled back for a clearcut win at Warwick (3m2f; from Porter In the Park) four weeks ago; raised another 4lb but the return to a sharper test is more of a worry. |

12st 1lb |
A thorough stayer who has won over fences; back in good form over hurdles following a break and seemed to do just enough when prevailing narrowly at Haydock (3m, good to soft); every chance off this 5lb higher mark. |

2nd Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Won two in a row last June for the O'Neill yard and put up a bold show when close second of six at Doncaster (3m, good to soft; Bugise Seagull third) five weeks ago on second run for this yard; needs extra to win this, though. |

pressed leaders, led after 5th, mistake 4 out, pushed along 3 out, not fluent 2 out, soon ridden, 4 lengths ahead last, always doing enough |

13th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 |
11st 10lb |
12l third in Grade 1 novice hurdle at Aintree (2m4f) last April; back from chasing for 3m handicap hurdles on last two outings, always close up when second of 11 at Musselburgh (again good to soft) last time; up 2lb but, in this second season under rules, no shock if he has more to give. |

2nd Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
12l third in Grade 1 novice hurdle at Aintree (2m4f) last April; back from chasing when creditable third of six off this mark at Doncaster five weeks ago on his step up to 3m; closely matched with runner-up Pyffo on that result and he could have more to offer as a stayer. |

Still runs well now and again but this 11yo is not as good as he was and become inconsistent. |

20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 96y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Ran well for a long way when fourth at Doncaster (3m, good to soft; first-time tongue-tie) in February and remains well handicapped but this steadily regressive 11yo has become inconsistent, and others appeal more. |

27th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 214y Class 3 |
12st 1lb |
Winless since December 2023 and pulled up over C&D in December on sole run this term; however, he may have needed that outing and is on a handy mark on last season's best efforts; has won here three times, including in these reapplied cheekpieces, and is not ruled out; the tongue-tie is a first. |

27th Dec 2024 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Best form at about 3m and very capable on his day; has won on this track but also pulled up in three of five course starts, most recently in May, and he completed in his own time on his only subsequent chase start; overall record shows he's a long way from being a punter's pal. |

11st 7lb |
Bounced back from disappointing stable debut when second in first-time cheekpieces at Southwell (3m, good to soft) in December but was quickly back in the doldrums on next outing and has become hard to predict. |

Completing the course has not come easily since he won a handicap chase at Newbury in March 2023 and has been very flat over hurdles this season; has a good bit to prove. |
