3rd Apr 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 176y Class 1 |
10st 5lb |
Kept the excellent rules strike-rate going with a Carlisle win (2m, soft; effective on good to soft) in February but quicker ground raises some doubts against this more forbidding opposition. |

12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Has modest 2-30 strike-rate under rules but kept on well for second at Aintree (2m4f, good) in May and has now filled that position twice since his wind operation in March; could plausibly still have untapped potential over 3m; no surprise if he features. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Has a modest strike rate of 2-30 but ran his best race over fences when beaten a neck at Aintree (2m4f, good) five weeks ago (with Genois pulled up); holds claims if able to build on that run off 1lb higher. |
9/2 |

15th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Back from wind surgery he bumped into one well handicapped at Bangor (2m4f, good) and it was a strong race in which he struggled at Haydock; he's no forlorn hope on that penultimate effort. |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 20y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Lightly raced 8yo who was runner-up at Ayr (2m, soft) in January when dropped back in trip on his second chase start; however, pulled up at Carlisle (2m, good to soft) since, which severely dents confidence in his claims today, and the step up in distance may not be ideal. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 207y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Won over 2m6f as a hurdler but effective at this trip, as he showed when runner-up (in his fifth chase start) at Ayr last time out (soft); however, this is tougher and the drier ground is a cause for concern. |

22nd Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Very lightly raced 7yo who comfortably won Wetherby novice hurdle (2m, soft) in December; just a respectable fourth of six on recent chase/handicap debut at Carlisle (2m, soft) but today's longer trip is likely to suit him and he probably still has potential. |

19th May 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 133y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
11yo who is lightly raced for his age; never threatened on his completed starts over fences last season (fell early latest); is a dual hurdle winner but suspicion he might prove vulnerable to some of the much younger legs in this line-up. |

25th Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Last of his six wins over hurdles was off a 25lb higher mark at Musselburgh in January 2024 (2m4f, soft); mainly disappointing since then, including when tried over fences; best watched for now. |

14th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
One-time very useful handicapper; nothing like as good these days and has finished last on last two starts, latest a four-runner C&D handicap last month; very well handicapped (dropped a further 4lb for his run last time so now 22lb below last winning mark); plenty to prove at present. |
