2nd Jun 2025 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-9 over fences but twice runner-up; has another go in this discipline on the back of a comfortable win over hurdles here (2m4f, good) in a race he also won 12 months earlier; now rated 10lb lower as a chaser so has obvious claims. |

9lb lower when an easy winner of this 12 months ago but he can deal with this mark and latest close third at Ffos Las (good to soft) was commendable given he likes good ground; could very easily win this again. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 25y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Career best when winning by 11l over 2m5f here in January (good to soft) and for whatever reason he didn't turn up at Newbury (2m4f; handles soft); has to bounce back from that but wouldn't put it past him; there are niggling stamina doubts at this trip, however. |

17th Feb 2026 2m 4f 118y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
His 24th race over hurdles at Exeter last month (2m5f, good to soft) but produced career-best form in winning that handicap by some 11l; respected off 7lb higher with heavy ground no issue for him. |

29th Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Placed on both outings since winning in pretty good style at Market Rasen (2m2f, good) on stable debut in April; will be fine over today's trip and won't mind what the weather does; likely contender. |

8th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Absent since pulled up at Catterick on New Year's Day and far too inconsistent to rely upon but scored over C&D (good) last June and is now 1lb below that mark; can't be ruled out. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 157y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Maiden hurdler who was never that threatening in handicaps but his breeding offers plenty of hope that he'll do better over fences and over this longer distance; tongue-tie added; hard to dismiss. |

13th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Mark is assuming more realistic proportions nowadays; closest finish to date when under 7l fourth at Warwick latest (2m3f, good to soft), but no obvious excuses there and likely a bit more is needed today. |

24th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Didn't seem to stay 2m7f when below-par at Hexham last time, having run creditably on his two previous starts; could go well but on a long losing run. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Only win came in a Southwell novice handicap in May 2024 (2m4f, good); good run when second at Sedgefield last time (2m4f, good); stamina to prove, but could be in the mix. |

1st Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
It's now 11 outings since his last success but he's been lightly raced this term and comes here on the back of a good third of 15 in 2m4f Newcastle handicap hurdle 18 days ago; can make his presence felt off the same mark. |

24th Jun 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |
10st 8lb |
Ex-French; placed three times over hurdles late last year, but poor in three more starts over hurdles and two on the AW since then; now 0-19 under rules and has plenty to prove. |

In the frame at 1m2f-1m4f in France last year; initially ran quite promisingly over hurdles in Britain but he's gone walkabout this year, including on AW in April; has it to prove at present. |
