8th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Useful form in handicap hurdles at about 2m4f and time might show he had a tough task trying to give plenty of weight to the first two on chase debut at Worcester (2m4f, good) in June; major player off the same mark. |

18th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
2-6 over hurdles; returned from a break with creditable fourth of 14 in competitive Cheltenham handicap (2m4f, good) in April; will be a tough nut to crack in this lower grade if he takes to fences at the first attempt. |
5/2 |

16th Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 56y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Perhaps unsuited by soft ground when pulled up in a Grade 2 in December but it's been a progressive campaign otherwise and was a closing third over 2m6f at Kelso (handicap on good to soft) when last sighted later that month; unlikely that a lack of recent match practice will hold him back here and could be interesting. |

8th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Can jump right; two fair efforts over fences since the spring, including at 2m4f (good), with another one over hurdles in between; not obviously ahead of his mark but adding a tongue-tie could help. |

26th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Only beaten about 1l when third of four on chasing debut at Ludlow (2m4f, good) in March, despite a tendency to jump right, and reverts to fences after perfectly respectable 2m hurdle run last month; still unexposed in this sphere and current mark is workable; must be considered. |

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. |

4th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 54y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Won a four-runner handicap chase for the O'Neills in June (2m4f, good); bought for £10,000 in October; good second to a subsequent useful winner in a point in January (3m, soft) but rather disappointing last time; each-way chance. |

31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won at Warwick (2m4f, good) in June and bounced back from lesser run when 4l second to Zacony Rebel over this C&D (good) in first-time cheekpieces (retained); effective on soft ground earlier in career; could be involved. |
8/1 |

24th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Rallied well to open account in small field at Warwick (2m4f, good) last month, his fourth start over fences, but was well below that level on latest outing and needs to respond well to first-time cheekpieces here. |

8th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Has had some gaps in his career but he gave an improved display on second chase start when winning at Bangor (about 2m4f, good) in June, where a persistent rival left him ahead two out; up 3lb; can progress. |

6th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Lightly raced since he was placed in two Irish points in 2022 but made quite promising chase/handicap debut when third here (2m1f, good; first-time tongue-tie) in March; absent for 11 weeks since but ought to be suited by today's step up in trip. |

22nd Mar 2025 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Very unexposed 7yo; showed nothing more than minor promise in three maiden/novice hurdles this season (2m-2m1f) but was placed in two Irish points in 2022 and is open to improvement on this chase/handicap debut; tongue-tie fitted. |

17th Sep 2025 Good 2m 5f 133y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Signed off over hurdles with victory at Market Rasen (2m2f) and he has shaped well switched to chasing when runner-up in 2m4f handicaps at Uttoxeter and Worcester (winner has gone in again since) this summer; tongue tied now and visor replaces cheekpieces; weighted to go close. |

31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Lightly raced point winner (2m4f, good to soft) who won easily over hurdles at Market Rasen (2m2f, good) in March and was a promising second on last month's chase debut at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good), where he was clear with the 10-11 favourite; open to further improvement; firmly in calculations. |
