Dual chase winner in UK for Ben Pauling but lost his form after; bounced back on first start for this yard when scoring over hurdles at Cork (3m); raised 4lb but the hood worn then is retained; respected |

24th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Both wins over fences have been at Market Rasen (2m5f/3m); struggles with his consistency but if on a going day in first-time blinkers then he's not handicapped out of it. |

Two Market Rasen chase wins since last May but pulled up there in February and well-held fifth of six over 3m here since, taking his Southwell record to 0-7. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |

Multiple chase winner with plenty of form here, including a runner-up finish in first-time blinkers last week over 2m4f (good); has won over this far. |
7/4 |

2nd 1 |
19th May 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 189y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Five chase wins, including 2023 edition of this race; pulled up at Fakenham two starts ago but his other three runs this year were very respectable; swaps usual cheekpieces for first-time blinkers; likely to give this a good shot from the front. |
3/1 |

3rd 6 |
8th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
A win and (in this race) a half-length second, each off 2lb lower, to show from two C&D visits (good) last summer; plenty in his favour again once more, though a Fakenham flop latest needs forgiving. |

10st 2lb |
Lightly raced 9yo; ran respectably when third at Wincanton (2m4f, good) last month but was 9l behind Abingworth in that race and he's 2lb out of the weights this time; has some work to do. |

25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Won over C&D in June (good to soft) and runner-up to Rory's Story in his only subsequent chase start; however, he was very disappointing over hurdles here on Saturday. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Latest chase win on this track (2m1f, good to soft; several wins on good) in June; creditable hurdle run the time before but below best in this sphere subsequently, including over C&D latest; needs revival. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Six-time chase winner, who won here (2m1f, good to soft) in June and was runner-up back at this track on Saturday; his hurdling defeat at Uttoxeter on penultimate run was in an unsatisfactory race (most flights omitted) and he's not ruled out back in this sphere. |

11th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Lightly raced and generally very disappointing since winning three consecutive hurdles on good ground in spring 2022 but arguably ran better than bare form suggests on last two outings, and makes chasing debut from another career-low mark; worth a second look. |

7th Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
In excellent form for new stable in the spring, winning three in a row under Fern O'Brien (2m4f-3m) on good ground; has fitness to prove after 116-day break and latest 10lb rise asks quite a lot of him but further progress is possible. |

13th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Got off the mark over hurdles at Huntingdon (20.5f, good) in April and followed up in a four-runner contest at Ludlow (3m, good) last month with Galway Reel 13l back in second; up 7lb and holds strong claims once again. |
8/13 |

1st 2 |
11th May 2025 Good 2m 7f 174y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Mid-race unseat over fences on stable debut in March and got up late to win at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) three weeks ago when back hurdling; there's every chance the step back up in trip will suit and he could have more to offer for this yard. |
