23rd Apr 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Made the frame in three maidens (2m-2m4f) last summer but he's failed to complete in last two starts including when back in a handicap at Plumpton (pulled up) in September; hurdling record now stands at 0-12 and has something to prove on his return; change of headgear. |

4th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Runner-up twice in February (including C&D on soft) before making it 14th time lucky over hurdles in 2m4f Sedgefield handicap (good) last month; he and the runner-up came well clear of the third so he should competitive off 6lb higher. |

10th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
0-13 over hurdles and becoming rather frustrating but came second twice over 2m3f last month (soft/good to soft) and seems very likely to be in the shake-up again here. |

2nd 4 |
24th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 66y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Last Flat win came in November 2023 and he's 0-12 over hurdles; however, he ran well when second off this reduced mark at Carlisle (2m3f, soft) last Monday and can be in the mix if backing that up. |

29th Sep 2026 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
AW Flat winner when visored for the first time, in February (8.5f); sound run back over hurdles when keeping-on third at Kelso this month (2m2f, good to firm); 2m4f should suit; each-way chance. |
5/1 |

3rd 4 |
16th Sep 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Has a poor strike-rate of 1-38 under rules; stayed on when the race was all over when fourth of ten at Sedgefield (2m1f, good to firm) last month; others look more likely. |
8/1 |

28th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Poor strike-rate (1-37), finishing down the field at Ripon (1m2f; 25-1) a fortnight ago; nothing special over hurdles either (0-5; beaten 34l at Market Rasen in April), so difficult to consider. |

8th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 5f 54y Class 3 |
10st 9lb |
Record of 211 since switched to chasing and the form of his Warwick success (3m1f, good to soft) last time has been boosted by the second/third since; respected off bottom weight upped in grade, with additional improvement plausible upped further in trip. |
7/2 |

1st 7 |
23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 100y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Very close second here (3m, soft; front pair well clear) on last month's chasing debut and stayed on strongly to win gruelling contest by 20l at Uttoxeter (3m, heavy) a few days later; 10lb higher now but sure to be suited by the forecast rain and commands respect. |

28th Oct 2025 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Well beaten in all three qualifying starts (2m, good); half-brother to a couple of 2m4f jumps winners; dam a 2m5f hurdle winner, so he may now be capable of improving going up in trip on his handicap debut. |

2nd 4 |
14th Oct 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 154y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Has had a good season with cheekpieces, with wins at Worcester (2m4f, good) and Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) and a creditable second at Plumpton (2m4f, good); has gone up 23lb; may find others better treated. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 2 |
20th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 5 |
12st 3lb |
Bounced back to form at Worcester (2m4f, good) ten days ago, winning comfortably, and overcame a penalty when dropped back to 2m1f at Newton Abbot (good) on Friday; will effectively be another 11lb higher if he makes a quick reappearance here but is evidently in excellent nick. |
7/4 |

1st 9 |
18th Sep 2026 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Attracted market support before suddenly bursting back into form at Worcester (2m4f, good) last week, when he came from off the pace to win comfortably; this drop back in trip might not be ideal but he's 4lb well in under his 7lb penalty. |

The last of his Flat wins was in 2021; poor hurdler and don't see him making a better chaser; out of the weights. |
