14th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Made good progress when headgear was added in the autumn, winning three times (2m7f-3m1f, good), but was given a break after disappointing run in January and made a low-key reappearance last month; needs to get back in the groove. |

6th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Headgear helped last autumn, with three wins over further, latterly off a 6lb lower mark; has been off for four months since a poor one in blinkers (goes back to cheekpieces tonight) early in the year and will want a good test over this trip. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
2m7f maiden hurdle winner here (good) and overall Worcester record reads 2531; this shorter trip is likely still manageable here, although he was below form at sharp Southwell over nearly 2m5f on chasing debut last time (beaten 19l); fair claims off 2lb lower; cheekpieces go on. |

3rd 2 |
9th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Just 1-12 over hurdles and ran poorly when upped to 3m2f at Perth last month; makes chasing debut from a workable mark, though, and his Irish point win in 2024 bodes well for his prospects over fences. |
6/1 |

13th May 2026 Good 3m 2f 127y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Won a Worcester maiden hurdle last May (2m7f, good); creditable runs handicapping since; conditions suit; chance. |

22nd Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 174y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Back from a break with a clearcut win over C&D (good to soft) in December and he's finished runner-up in three subsequent starts; up another 2lb but he had a near-miss at Market Rasen (2m7f) last time and this return to quicker ground is no problem (won a point on good to firm); respected. |
100/30 |

2nd 2 |
17th Feb 2026 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Twice runner-up since his impressive Ludlow return (3m, good to soft) in December, coming clear with the winner over C&D last time (fourth and fifth have won since); up another 3lb, but likely to be bang there once again. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 3 |
16th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Returned from break with clear win at Ludlow (3m, good to soft) last month and was not discredited when close/clear second off same mark at Hereford (3m1f, good to soft) soon afterwards; 6lb higher now but still respected in current mood. |

20th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Five-time hurdle winner, most recently off today's mark at Huntingdon (3m1f, good to soft) in November; has become inconsistent, though, and dropped out quite tamely after making the running at Fontwell in May. |
10/1 |
|
4th 2 |
24th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Now only 1lb higher than when winning at Huntingdon (3m1f, good to soft; also suited by good) in November but has become inconsistent and was pulled up on latest outing seven weeks ago; not easy to predict. |
8/1 |
|
6 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
5-27 over hurdles, the latest win gained at Huntingdon (extended 3m1f, good to soft; 2lb higher today) in November; has a shout on that showing but there have been backward steps in his two starts since. |

13th Oct 2025 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Won in July off 7lb higher (3m, good; first-time tongue-tie) but hasn't approached level in his subsequent races; not easily trusted. |
8/1 |

20th Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
4lb below his winning mark and the fourth over C&D in July was more encouraging; brought down mid-race at Uttoxeter latest. |
16/1 |

14 |
25th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Returned from layoff with two poor performances last month but his fourth behind Red Panda at Worcester (2m7f, good) three weeks ago was much more encouraging and he's now 4lb lower than for last year's 3m Perth win; big player if first-time cheekpieces help him to build on that recent effort. |

23rd Aug 2025 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Scored off much reduced mark when back over hurdles at Southwell (3m, good) in June but all three subsequent runs were disappointing and he now has questions to answer again; new headgear tried. |
14/1 |

24th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Won off much reduced mark when back over hurdles at Southwell (3m, good) last month and is still well handicapped on older form, but was soundly beaten on his last two outings and now has questions to answer again. |
10/1 |

20th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Exploited some help from the handicapper when back over hurdles at Southwell (3m, good) this month and is still on a workable mark after going back up 5lb but needs to rebound quickly from disappointing run on Saturday. |
