Veteran who has been out of sorts for a while now and he's looking sharply regressive. |

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. |

22nd Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Signed off for Paul Nicholls in good form, winning a 2m3f good-ground chase at Fontwell where he was in front a good way out before holding on; just 4lb higher; bought for £40,000. |
5/1 |

15th May 2025 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Still a maiden but looks set to make a better chaser after finishing a close second over C&D three weeks ago (good); stayed on well that day from off the pace and might well go one better. |

Turned things around when winning a small-field chase at Fakenham (2m5f, good to soft) in March but back in modest mode at Bangor; has become a hard mare to predict. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Placed twice over shorter this year, runner-up at Fontwell (2m5f) last time; one of the main players on recent form but is no certainty to go one better, being 0-23 overall and not a certain stayer back up in trip. |

7lb higher when going close over 2m3f here last May (good) but remains a maiden and has become inconsistent. |

24th Jun 2025 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Did not take to chasing this spring (two attempts) and now reverts to hurdling; quite well handicapped if judged on his two Taunton runs (2m/2m3f) towards end of last season; not ruled out. |
9/1 |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
2m4f point winner; never really threatened to win over hurdles and the same again on recent chase debut; needs a lift from cheekpieces. |

15th May 2025 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |

Maiden under rules but he did keep galloping on his final two runs over hurdles, at 2m and 2m3f; pedigree points to improvement over fences. |

Longstanding maiden who has been struggling over fences and he's out of the weights here. |

2nd May 2026 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 5 |

Quite well handicapped on last spring's form but was well beaten when back on good ground at Hereford in March and is now 0-24 under rules. |

25th Mar 2026 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Didn't run badly when last of four finishers at Leicester (2m4f, good to soft; just behind Jack Doyen) this month, after a break, and will be suited by this forecast good ground but he's 0-23 under rules and remains difficult to enthuse over. |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Made all to open account over C&D (good) in first-time blinkers ten days ago, his 11th start over fences; drew nicely clear of the others with the runner-up that day and was only raised 3lb; could be hard to catch. |
9/4 |

1st 7 |
14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Can make mistakes but mainly consistent over fences for this yard; pulled up at Warwick after an error last time but 2m and ground that was likely faster than good were probably not ideal; that brought his record to 0-18 but he's not ruled out in first-time blinkers back up in trip. |
7/1 |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 54y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Held up and was never that threatening when beaten just over 7l into fourth at Ffos Las (2m3f, good to soft); that's two pleasing enough runs since the visor went on and this 17-race maiden has each-way claims. |

19th Feb 2026 2m 3f 189y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Close third over fences at Fontwell last April but such high points have been scarce in his winless, 17-race rules career; well-beaten fifth in points on his last two starts; reverts to rules with something to prove. |
14/1 |

15th May 2025 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |

A maiden who can pick up a race sometime soon after his rallying third over C&D 20 days ago, finishing right up behind Fortunate Fella. |
