11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Scored at Warwick (3m, good to soft) in December but he's failed to complete in three subsequent runs and didn't get very far at Stratford (unseated at first) two weeks ago; only 2lb lower than for his last success but he comes with risks attached. |

28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Scored at Warwick (3m) in December but he isn't the easiest to catch right and was pulled up in 2m7f handicap at Newbury last time; others are preferred. |

17th Feb 2026 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Back to form when winning for a third time over fences in a 3m handicap at Warwick (good to soft) and would have won easier had he not idled late on; unseated midrace off this 4lb higher mark at Leicester three weeks later; respected. |

13th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 4f 10y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Made mistakes when pulled up at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft) in December last time and needs to bounce back; however, he's now 5lb lower than when second at Market Rasen (2m5f, good) in October and is not written off; also effective on soft ground. |

18th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 3f 187y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Won twice in small fields over 2m4f/2m6f last term and second at Market Rasen in October; however, he needs a lot better than was forthcoming on last two outings, back down to 2m5f from 3m for latest. |

16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 85y |
11st 8lb |
Hurdle and chase winner when trained in the UK; hit and miss, kept to hurdles, since switched to this yard; well beaten when last seen and others appeal more today. |

5th Mar 2026 Soft To Heavy 2m 6f 198y |
12st 0lb |
Hurdle/chase winner for the Moores in Britain with a peak hurdle rating of 130; some promise in three runs for this yard, notably on latest when fourth of 11 at Navan (2m6f, heavy), staying on from rear to challenge two out, fading late on; player dropped 1lb under top claimer. |

23rd Mar 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Has more to prove than the other 11yos in this field, with form this season suggesting that age may be catching up with him and virtually all of his chase outings at 2m4f; it remains to be seen whether this longer trip sparks a resurgence. |
10/1 |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Has some strong handicap form to his name and this isn't quite so demanding as Cheltenham's feature 2m4f early-season handicaps; he is now 11 and the handicapper hasn't been overly generous is dropping him just 3lb for those heavy defeats, but unwise to put a line through him. |

26th Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 10y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Solid record at Sandown was enhanced when he scored in good style over C&D (good) seven weeks ago, leading three out to get off the mark as a chaser at the fifth attempt; 5lb rise may underestimate that and he could also be open to further improvement; big shout. |

Has a win, two seconds and a third from just six outings at Sandown; ran close to his best when runner-up over C&D in February, keeping on from the rear; solid claims once more. |

disputed lead, lost position and squeezed out 5th, dropped to rear 7th, struggling 9th, jockey looked down to see if something was amiss after 10th, soon eased and pulled up |

27th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 5f 150y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Dual 2m2f course winner last season; not at best on either outing this term but ran well to a point in stronger race than this at Sandown (2m4f, good to soft) a fortnight ago and is sure to be suited by the return to this track; might be the answer. |
