1st Nov 2025 Good 2m 3f 85y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Made it 2-4 over fences when making all at Perth (2m4f, good) in July when last seen; won on testing ground over hurdles early in career; open to further improvement in this sphere and he's respected up 6lb. |

11st 12lb |
Hasn't had much racing and he came back from a spell pointing to win a four-runner hunter chase at this track in May; found life tougher back in handicap company when fourth of nine here (also 3m, good) the following month; this drop back in trip isn't an obvious plus. |

11st 0lb |
0-14 in points and 2-29 under rules, with chase record 0-6; very opposable on what he's been showing of late in handicap chases. |

25th Jul 2025 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Career record reads 2-42 including 14 starts in points; finished a very long way behind Wheresmemoneygone at Perth (3m, good) last month, but even a huge weights swing makes him hard to fancy; tongue-tie returns. |

3rd Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Second of four in C&D (good) hunter chase in May, but the form isn't anything to go wild about and he was pulled up when back in a handicap at Hexham last month; others look much stronger. |

30th May 2025 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Very useful chaser in Ireland in his prime but his two point wins this year were gained in small-field races and he was only third of four when odds-on for run-of-the-mill hunter chase at Perth (3m, good) this month; cheekpieces removed; tongue-tie fitted; needs to up his game. |

11st 12lb |
Very useful chaser in Ireland in his prime; pulled up in soft-ground hunter chase on stable debut in January but 2-3 in points on a sound surface since, with both wins gained in small-field affairs; sports refitted cheekpieces for this rules return; might be the answer. |

13th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Last of four (beaten 26l) in this last year; arrives in better form this year, with back-to-back point wins at Overton (3m); however, there wasn't much depth to his latest win, with his main market rival departing at the first fence. |

14th May 2025 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Fair hurdler/chaser when with Ben Pauling and a good-ground point winner for new connections this year; unseated rider at sixth fence on last month's hunter chase debut but was clear second in open point at Witton Castle (good to firm) nine days ago and has a fighting chance in this. |
