19th Aug 2023 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
No issues with trip or good ground judged on such as last September's Kelso win; ordinary strike-rate of 2-17 over hurdles but most consistent if last month's Worcester 55l seventh is overlooked (lost a shoe). |

20th Jul 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Shaped as if the run was needed when third at Stratford, on return from nine months off; most consistent last year and every reason to expect him to put in a good shift again. |

Placed six consecutive times (twice on the Flat) last summer/autumn, most notably when winning off 3lb lower at Kelso (2m2f, good) on penultimate appearance; respectable return to action at Stratford yesterday. |

Returned from long absence with two heavy defeats for new stable this summer but last month's fourth at Cartmel (2m5f, soft; first-time tongue-tie) was more encouraging; she needs to build on that performance here but has the services of Brian Hughes again. |

3rd Jan 2023 Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Outran 40-1 odds when second in this race 12 months ago (soft ground) and was pretty consistent off lowly marks towards end of last year (2m2f-3m) but is 0-18 over hurdles and others have more compelling claims. |
10/1 |

8th Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Placed just once from 18 attempts over hurdles, at Musselburgh (1m7f, soft) in January; would be an each-way player from this mark if able to run to the level of her two Kelso efforts in September and October but needs to better her last two starts. |

21st Nov 2022 Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |

Fourth three consecutive times in September/October, the last twice in big-field handicaps over 2m5f and 2m3f; can give another good account here but is now 0-17 over hurdles and needs today's step up in trip to unlock improvement. |

Two wins came back-to-back in handicaps in May 2019 for this stable; modest placed form in Britain in recent seasons; made an encouraging return for his original trainer when fifth at Ballinrobe; around 14l behind good yardstick Gwan Tadgh when sixth at Downpatrick. |

Four-time hurdle winner on good ground (once over C&D) but not since 2021; not seen since down-the-field finish in basement-grade AW race in January and makes very limited appeal from 4lb out of the weights here. |

10st 8lb |
Went close at Perth (2m4f, good) in August 2023 and is now 2lb lower, but she hasn't threatened on her last three runs and is now 0-26. |

26th Sep 2024 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
25-race maiden across both codes but she's often run well over hurdles (went very close over 2m4f here in August 2023) and she's shaped this season as though she'll be well suited by today's first crack at 3m. |

Below par on last two hurdle starts but may have needed recent run; on a competitive mark on last season's best hurdle form (won over 3m on good ground) and this 6yo showed ability in a point-to-point in May 2022; interesting contender on chase debut. |
