18th Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Upped to an extended 2m7f for his successful handicap debut at Market Rasen (good to soft) in December; good second since at Wetherby (3m1f, soft), Fakenham (3m, soft) and Huntingdon (3m2f, good to soft); looks a thorough stayer and he'd have much more to prove on good ground; blinkers replace the cheekpieces worn on those last four starts but he has to be shortlisted. |

2nd 2 |
1st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Upped to an extended 2m7f for his successful handicap debut at Market Rasen (good to soft) in December; good second since at Wetherby (3m1f, soft) and Fakenham (3m, soft); major claims with this slog likely to suit him well. |

13th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 95y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Won when upped in trip on handicap debut at Market Rasen (2m7f, good to soft) in December and 3l second of 16 at Wetherby (3m, soft) subsequently; could continue to progress. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 88y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Bumper winner; last two runs have been at Market Rasen (2m4f, good to soft), going close in November and then beaten 10l in a useful race; he's up to winning a maiden and a tongue-tie now goes on. |

7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Won his third chase start at Huntingdon (2m, good) in March, edging home by a short head; hasn't reached those heights since, last time finishing behind two of these at Southwell. |

9th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Battled well for narrow success at Huntingdon (2m, good) in March, his third chase start, and gave another good account before fading into fourth at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) 12 days ago; might collect a minor prize. |

28th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Battled well for narrow success at Huntingdon (2m, good) in March, his third start over fences; that form looks modest and he's 4lb higher here but further progress is possible. |

10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
2025 bumper winner (2m, good) but generally a weak finisher over hurdles since, even with a tongue-tie and after wind surgery; couldn't be confident about chase/handicap debut (Flat bred) despite respected connections. |
12/1 |

4th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won good-ground bumper by 8l in March 2025; rather disappointing when well-held third on hurdle debut in October and has failed to complete twice since but shaped with promise before weakening and falling at Southwell (2m, good) last month, after a break. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 3f 34y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-7 under rules but ran his best race over fences when runner-up at Worcester (2m4f, good) eight days ago in first-time visor (retained) when attempting to make all; 3lb higher in future chases and should run well. |
100/30 |
|
2nd 3 |
11th Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Still unexposed under rules and was seemingly aided by new cheekpieces when second of four at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in March; that form isn't anything to get excited about, though, and he was well held when third at Perth (2m4f, good to soft) last month; now tries a visor; forecast rain probably not ideal. |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
In the money but well beaten in his last three starts; cheekpieces are now applied and they need to have a significant impact for him to be successful. |
14/1 |
|
4th 7 |
18th Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Some bumper promise; well beaten in his four hurdle races, upped to 3m at Uttoxeter (good to soft; 9-1) 11 weeks ago when a remote fourth on handicap debut last time; needed plenty of riding that day; early days but he needs to raise his game, markedly. |
