8th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Improved for staying trips on good ground as a hurdler, finishing a good second at Exeter and going one better at Ascot (both about 2m7f) in March; had more on his plate behind a progressive one at Worcester in May but even so he wasn't quite at his best; should have potential now chasing. |

23rd May 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Has form figures of 23421 since joining Jeremy Scott and he justified favouritism with a comfortable success at Ascot (2m7f, good) in March; up 5lb but his confidence should be boosted after that breakthrough win and he's open to more progress; respected. |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
He's struggled on his last four starts but is now 3lb lower than when winning at Sedgefield (3m2f, good) last April and his southern trainer has a very healthy 24% strike-rate here; interesting, especially if backed. |

18th Nov 2025 Good 2m 6f 10y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Went up 40lb for winning six handicap chases last season (also won twice over hurdles); below par in three runs this season; needs to bounce back after a 139-day break. |

2nd Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Scored off 3lb lower mark at Sedgefield (3m2f, good) in April but well held subsequently at Fakenham (3m5f, good) and here over hurdles in May; looks too high in the weights. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 7f 174y Class 5 |
12st 7lb |
Landed Alastair Ralph a fourth win from his last six runners when powering home in the debuted visor (replaced) at Stratford latest (2m6f, good); player, though he has never yet managed to follow up a win, and the penalty takes him 7lb above the mark defied in this race last year. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
His wins have been at 3m2f and 3m; arrives here after good-ground seconds at Uttoxeter and Warwick, his second and third starts in blinkers; should be in the mix provided he takes to more new headgear. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Grand veteran with eight wins over hurdles, including two over C&D last summer; down to his last winning mark and should be sharper for his fifth at Hereford last month following a five-month layoff, but you have to think that one of his younger rivals should have his measure. |
12/1 |

16th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Registered a four-timer last April-June (3m1f/2m7f, good/good to soft); very in and out since and he's now a 13yo but he finished on the heels of the principals off today's mark at Warwick in November when last seen; more to prove after the break. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 3m 1f 5y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Secured the second leg of a four-timer with wide-margin win over C&D (good) in May; now just 2lb above his last winning mark but generally well beaten since (the exception in a four-runner race) and he was tailed off last time; others look more likely. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Hurdle/chase winner but he's struggled at massive prices in three Flat runs (1m/1m2f) on Polytrack; now switches to a low-grade handicap but he needs a transformation on this step up to 1m4f. |
25/1 |

28th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 3 |

8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Hurdle/chase winner, but sent off 400-1 when well beaten on his belated Flat debut over C&D in October; no appeal on first start since. |

20th Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Useful when trained in Ireland but generally very disappointing for current stable since the autumn; ought to have coped much better with the soft ground when pulled up at Cartmel last month; others preferred. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |

Useful when trained in Ireland but generally very disappointing for current stable since the autumn; arrested decline with respectable fifth at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) three weeks ago but needs to build on that run. |

17th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
0-8 over hurdles now but looked suited by the step up in trip when running big race in C&D handicap (good) in May and ought to make his presence felt again in this maiden. |

23rd May 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Close up in a 2m2f Stratford novice (good) last June but on the slide since and he's been pulled up in the last two of his three handicaps; still lightly raced in this sphere but he's untried beyond 2m4f and has plenty to prove at this new trip. |
