24th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Made all to open account over C&D (good) in first-time blinkers ten days ago, his 11th start over fences; drew nicely clear of the others with the runner-up that day and was only raised 3lb; could be hard to catch. |
9/4 |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Can make mistakes but mainly consistent over fences for this yard; pulled up at Warwick after an error last time but 2m and ground that was likely faster than good were probably not ideal; that brought his record to 0-18 but he's not ruled out in first-time blinkers back up in trip. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 54y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Held up and was never that threatening when beaten just over 7l into fourth at Ffos Las (2m3f, good to soft); that's two pleasing enough runs since the visor went on and this 17-race maiden has each-way claims. |

16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Has left his hurdle form behind over fences and he beat the odds-on winner with the pair clear at Stratford last weekend (2m3f, good to firm); carries a penalty for that in what looks a winnable contest. |
10/11 |

1st 3 |
12th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Is better over fences and got off the mark at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) in May; produced another solid effort when second at Market Rasen (2m3f, good) last month; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces and looks sure to be thereabouts. |

3rd Jun 2026 Good To Firm 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Back from wind surgery when winning narrowly at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) but well beaten off this 5lb higher mark back there, finishing behind Thickthorn Tom; unraced beyond 2m5f. |
8/1 |

3rd 6 |
14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Had wind surgery before he cashed in on a falling mark to open account over C&D (good to soft) last month; up 5lb for that head success but recent form counts for plenty in this race and he's a big player. |
4/1 |

1st 6 |
8th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
11-race maiden with unconvincing record over fences this season (five attempts; remote when third last time); needs recent wind op to have made a difference. |

10th Jun 2026 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Got off the mark on his fifth attempt over fences, over C&D (good) last month; nowhere near that level here (2m3f, good) eight days later but maybe he can return to form back to his winning distance. |
9/2 |
|
4th 1 |
14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
12st 7lb |
Made the breakthrough on his fifth start over fences when scoring here (3m2f, good) last Wednesday; back down in trip under 7lb penalty but not fully exposed and looks a key player. |
2/1 |

6th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |

Lengthy breaks are a feature in his profile; beaten at least 10l in all four runs over fences (2m5f-3m1f) and brought up the rear last time at Plumpton; unconvincing. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Not beaten far at Market Rasen in July (first-time visor) and he was keeping on in second when brought down at the last here (2m2f, good to soft) in October; heavy defeat when last seen in December but it's still fairly early days and he's not dismissed on this return. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
0-4 over fences but posted a couple of respectable efforts in new visor this summer (2m1f/2m) and ran considerably better than eventual 31l defeat suggests at Stratford (2m3f, good) this month; drops back in trip here; place claims. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Favourite when runner-up on bumper debut but little to shout about over hurdles and beaten a long way on his chase debut over C&D (good) in this headgear combination three weeks ago; respected yard but he needs to show more. |
16/1 |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Mostly disappointing since finishing second in a bumper last spring, weakening quickly and pulled up in both handicap hurdles in recent months; too soon to write off but switches to fences with something to prove; a first-time hood and tongue-tie combination is also added. |
10/1 |

18th Mar 2026 Good 2m 3f 137y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Underwhelming since finishing second in a bumper 12 months ago and he was pulled up on his handicap debut four weeks ago (2m4f, soft) when not strong in the betting at 9-1; did go clear with one other that day so perhaps wasn't seen to best effect. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Course bumper and hurdle winner who won Plumpton handicap hurdle off 18lb higher last April; subsequent starts over fences didn't go well and he resumes chase career having been well held over hurdles on last three starts. |
8/1 |
|
4th 3 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
He's had a disappointing season, initially over fences and more recently over hurdles, and has something to prove; however, he's now 10lb lower than when winning over C&D (good) last April and can't be written off; monitor the betting. |
7/1 |
|
4th 6 |
9th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Chasing did not go well this season (three runs) but he ran well until tiring on heavy ground over hurdles at Fontwell (2m5f, heavy) recently and is now 6lb lower than for an emphatic C&D win on good ground last April. |
11/2 |
