1st 7 |
10th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Logged a third chase win this year when keeping on well at Newton Abbot last month (3m2f, good); at least one race per month since November speaks to his resilience, but it's noticeable that he's been kept to sharp tracks since pulling up at Exeter eight months ago. |

23rd Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Suffered dip in form after pair of 3m1f Hereford wins towards end of last season but seemed to run well when third of four at Fontwell (3m2f, good; headgear switched) a fortnight ago and is now 2lb below his last winning mark; enters calculations. |

2nd 3 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Below best on soft two starts ago but he showed tenacity when hanging on to his lead at Huntingdon (3m, good) last month under Rian Corcoran; back up 2lb but he can find further mild improvement; respected. |
6/4 |
|
1st 4 |
11th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Made the breakthrough in a first-time visor when scoring at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) in December and he followed up at Taunton (about 3m2f, good) at the end of that month; last of three finishers when up in grade on soft ground at Doncaster in January but good chance he can bounce back in this company on the forecast sounder surface. |
10/11 |
|
3rd 6 |
23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 214y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Has improved all of a sudden since fitted with this headgear, winning Class 5s at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) and Taunton (3m2f, good); up another 8lb for last time but he had them well strung out and he's receiving plenty of weight from his rivals. |

3rd 5 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Showed staying promise over fences earlier in career but he's been in moderate form since back from an absence, pulling up on last two starts. |
25/1 |

15th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Can't judge too harshly on last month's pulling up in a Uttoxeter mudbath (only two of ten finished), but two efforts before that fall well short of the required here; blinkers need to prove transformative. |
40/1 |
|
5th 7 |
4th Nov 2025 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Ended string of dismal performances with creditable fourth of 15 over C&D (good) in April 2024 but finished lame that day and we haven't seen him again since. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Best at about 2m4f and he's looked to have stamina limitations in the majority of his runs beyond that trip; below his latest winning mark, last May, but he's failed to complete in two of his last three runs since back chasing and some reservations remain. |
6/1 |

16th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Unseated rider when returned to chasing in January and has suffered a heavy defeat since; on a workable mark and suited by this C&D/slow ground but has some questions to answer. |
8/1 |
|
6th 1 |
25th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Landed the odds in three-runner chase at Plumpton (about 2m3f, good; acts on soft/heavy) in May; solid hurdles second under Osian Radford in December and still on the premises when blundering that rider away over fences (also Ludlow, 3m, good to soft) last month; drops back down in trip; respected. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
All five career wins gained in Huntingdon or Hereford staying handicaps (one chase); cashed in a career-low mark to the tune of 11l at the former venue latest (good), to which the assessor's reaction has been swift and punitive; back to requiring a likely personal best to follow up. |
5/1 |
|
1st 6 |
7th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Dual C&D winner; not at best since returning from one-year absence in November and was particularly disappointing when pulled up over fences last month; needs a revival but is back hurdling on a tempting mark. |
9/2 |
|
2 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Has won two of five handicaps here, hurdles and fences (C&D; good), but he hasn't yet found his form since back from an absence and now tackles fences for the first time since pulling up twice at the end of 2024; below latest winning mark but questions remain. |
