9th May 2026 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Often gives his running in strong handicaps (second in this event 12 months ago) but losing sequence is up to 11 and he looked held when falling two out in the Plumpton race won by Indemnity last time; cheekpieces left off today; opposable off unchanged mark. |

5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
Had strong handicap form even before finishing second to Alexei in the Greatwood and fifth in an Ascot handicap that could barely have worked out any better, with the four ahead of him all delivering high-profile efforts in the meantime (well in with fourth-placed Mondo Man); failed favourite backers in a lower grade at Newbury but this strong traveller might have won had he not been left in front two out (then idled); every chance should this pan out more favourably; all ground seems fine. |

12st 2lb |
Had some very strong handicap form even before his last two runs when second to Alexei in the Greatwood and fifth in an Ascot handicap that could barely have worked out any better, with the four ahead of him all delivering high-profile efforts in the meantime; must have every chance in this lower grade; drying ground won't bother him. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 3f 178y Class 2 |
10st 3lb |
Won against his own age-group here (2m, soft; also suited by good) in December and has finished close up on all three outings since (1m7f-2m); must be considered on this first attempt at 2m4f. |

15th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Consistent for a while now and, although beaten off this mark on his last two starts, it was a pretty good handicap in which he went down narrowly at Newbury the last time (2m, good to soft); thereabouts if gelling with Jude Fernandes. |

11th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 16y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Won back-to-back handicaps at Taunton (2m3f, good) and Warwick (2m, heavy) during the winter but he flopped at Newbury in final run for Stuart Kittow; new headgear is now tried and he has a bit to prove on first run for new trainer. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
2-2 since the cheekpieces went on, winning narrowly at Taunton (2m3f, good) but easier when making all at Warwick (2m, heavy); a collective 9lb rise demands more but should give himself every chance under a positive ride. |
11/2 |

7th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Just held on to score in first-time cheekpieces at Taunton (2m3f, good) in December and now 2-11 over hurdles; only 3lb higher here but the slower ground is probably not in his favour. |

Dual winner in this sphere but has been operating below his best for a while and is best left alone at present. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Chasing didn't go to plan in the autumn (three attempts) and he's looked out of sorts over hurdles lately; will appreciate this ease in grade but still needs huge boost from the first-time cheekpieces. |

2nd Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Potentially well handicapped but he tried chasing earlier this season and hasn't offered a lot back over hurdles; it looks significant that regular rider Sam Twiston-Davies has turned elsewhere. |

20th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Just the one blip in five runs since joining Henry Oliver and ran his usual honest race when going down narrowly at Hereford in January (2m, soft; effective on drier); the winner of that race has failed to frank the form but this 7yo could still be in the thick of it here. |

2nd 4 |
26th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 0f 53y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Won twice for the Newland/Insole stable in the autumn of 2024; creditable efforts in three of his four runs for current yard including when a close second in Market Rasen handicap (2m2f, good to soft) on Boxing Day; up 3lb but he went down fighting last time and that was behind a major improver; respected. |
