Horse Form Profile
| Place / No / Draw | Date / Going / Distance / Class | Time + Course Horse + Weight Jockey / Trainer | Verdict | Starting price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8th 10 | 12th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 213y Class 1 | 11st 10lb | Two handicap wins here this season (3m, good) and he took the rise in grade in his stride to win the Grade 2 Cleeve Hurdle over C&D (soft) in January; the 7l runner-up Impose Toi was giving him 6lb and perhaps wasn't at his best, but this highly progressive 7yo was impressive nevertheless; his profile is not dissimilar to that of Paisley Park, who won the Cleeve for this yard in 2019 before landing this race; very much one to be interested in. | 17/2 |
| 1st 6 | 24th Jan 2026 Soft 2m 7f 213y Class 1 | 11st 2lb | Won big-field handicap here (3m, good) in October and bounced back from lesser run at Haydock to win handicap over this C&D (good) on New Year's Day; won a bumper on soft ground; further improvement needed now up in grade but trainer enjoyed lots of success in this race with Paisley Park and this progressive 7yo is an each-way possible at a track he obviously relishes. | 5/2 |
| 1st 2 | 1st Jan 2026 Good 2m 7f 213y Class 2 | 11st 8lb | Comfortably landed a gamble in 17-runner handicap at Cheltenham (3m, good) in October but tailed-off favourite off this 9lb higher mark in a hot race at Haydock four weeks later; needs to resume progress. | 3/1 |
| 12th 5 | 22nd Nov 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 1 | 11st 7lb | Signed off last season's campaign with a creditable seventh in the Grade 1 Albert Bartlett at the Festival, and took his form to a new level when comfortably landing a gamble in 17-runner handicap back at Cheltenham (3m, good) four weeks ago; a 9lb rise looks fully justified and he still looks unexposed; major player. | 4/1F |
| 1st 10 | 25th Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 208y Class 2 | 10st 9lb | Dual novice winner (2m5f/2m4f) towards end of 2024 and made the frame in Doncaster Grade 2 (3m, good to soft) after the turn of the year; not disgraced when upped to Grade 1 level at the Festival here in March and probably still has potential; shortlisted. | 18/5F |
