11st 8lb |
Campaigned mostly at about 2m; doing well (3-6) for current yard but has stamina to prove back up in trip and wellbeing to prove on return from 14-month layoff. |

1st 6 |
12th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 149y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Record of 2-16 over fences; beaten about 11l in two 2m4f handicaps here since an absence and there are positives to take out of both those runs; this drop back in trip could help. |
7/1 |
|
5th 7 |
1st Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
10yo who has won twice over fences but he faded into a well-held fourth behind Universal Secret over C&D in February; 3lb out of the weights in this rematch and he has work to do to turn the tables. |
16/1 |
|
4th 5 |
25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
C&D (good) winner in April 2023 who also popped up at Taunton (2m2f, good to soft) in November 2024 following a 182-day break; just four starts since have included two solid efforts and it's possible he can have a say back from a 331-day absence; has a query on soft ground, however. |

3rd 5 |
7th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 189y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
0-8 over fences for Ben Pauling and seemingly a tricky horse to win with but scores good marks for his consistency and 2m4f on good ground suits him well; sports first-time hood on stable debut (same owners); probably won't be far away. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 3 |
17th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Winning hurdler who is 0-7 over fences but has been running well in defeat at up to 2m6f; must have every chance; cheekpieces tried last time are now dispensed with. |
5/2 |
|
5 |
17th Jun 2025 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
0-6 over fences but has twice run well in defeat over 2m4f at Warwick (good) this spring, latterly behind A Dublin Job; moves up in trip and sports first-time cheekpieces here; major player. |
