8th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Good strike-rate over fences but beaten between 16l and 25l in his last three races and he's into the veteran stage now. |

16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
5-19 over fences, the latest win at Haydock (2m4f, good) in April; not in same form at Cartmel or Stratford since and first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces; has it to do giving weight away to more progressive rivals. |

17th Jun 2025 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
5-18 over fences, the latest win at Haydock (2m4f, good) in April; not in same form at Cartmel (2m5f, good to soft) three weeks ago but the ground probably turned against him there and he's still on a workable mark. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Veteran who has been out of sorts for a while now and he's looking sharply regressive. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Five-time hurdle winner (2m3f-2m5f) but his last success was 16 months ago and this veteran has been out of sorts in his last four runs; opposable. |

26th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Soft ground may be a negative and well beaten at Catterick 17 days ago, but he might have needed that first outing in nearly a year; in good form last winter, including a win at Catterick (2m3f, good to soft), and no surprise if he bounces back and is in the shake-up; stable won this last year. |
9/1 |

9th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 3f 51y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Won this race off a 10lb lower mark in 2025 (good to soft); creditable second at Market Rasen eight days later but hasn't run since; could go well if fully tuned up after nearly a year off. |
5/1 |

18th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 34y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Confirmed the promise of his reappearance fourth here when beating an odds-on shot seeking a four-timer at Catterick last week (2m3f, good to soft; pair clear); big chance under penalty. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Down to this mark when nearly winning for the first time in seven years at Huntingdon in March and a slightly lesser effort when third at Hereford (also 2m, good) came just one week later; not ruled out. |
10/1 |

3rd 3 |
25th Mar 2026 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Came very close to a first win in seven years when narrowly denied at Huntingdon (2m, good) seven days ago; can race keenly and unlikely to get an easy lead here, but worth considering if reproducing that effort off the same mark. |

18th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 34y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Hasn't been in the best of form in three runs this season (well-beaten eighth of nine over 2m at Newcastle last week); 4lb out of the handicap; blinkers replace cheekpieces; hard to fancy. |
20/1 |

8th 10 |
13th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Improved for cheekpieces last season, winning his last two races, both on soft ground at Market Rasen (2m3f/2m1f) in February/March; not hit form so far this season, but on his last winning mark and stable going better now. |
50/1 |

16th Jan 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 19y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
A longstanding maiden until bagging two soft-ground handicap chases at Market Rasen (extended 2m3f and 2m2f) last February/March; pulled up there six weeks ago when back from eight months off but a return to peak efforts would put him in the mix. |
14/1 |
