Good novice hurdler who went down narrowly in the Boodles at Cheltenham in 2023; subsequent form was disappointing however, last seen when well held on the Flat in the Spring; good bit to find on ratings here. |

Good second over fences in July but failed to complete his next two chases and both subsequent Flat runs were also disappointing; reverts to hurdling with questions to answer. |

18th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 2m 1f 27y Class 3 |
8st 11lb |
Ex-Richard Hughes; four Flat wins (one on the AW) at up to 1m4f; yet to race at this sort of trip on the Flat and not shown a great deal for his new yard; hood now tried; not an obvious candidate. |

Hasn't looked a natural over hurdles/fences and has enough to prove back on the Flat here having failed to complete the last twice; tongue-tie retained; blinkers added. |

Good second off this mark in better race over C&D on Derby day, having scored at Chester the time before; not in the same form since and suffered a heavy defeat last Sunday. |

Has only won over 1m4f at Chester in his last 26 starts; feasibly handicapped but he hasn't threatened in last four runs and others are more persuasive; 0-2 here. |

19th Jun 2023 Standard 1m 1f 104y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Scored here (1m4f) for William Knight last October but that is her sole win from 15 starts and she's struggled for a new yard this year; now 3lb lower than for her win but has plenty to prove back at this trip. |
14/1 |

5th Jun 2023 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
C&D winner for William Knight in October but out of sorts since back from break for new connections, first-time cheekpieces not improving matters 12 days ago (blinkers this time); has it to prove at present. |

24th May 2023 Good To Firm 1m 3f 104y Class 6 |

Best efforts, and sole win, for William Knight came on the AW; has yet to offer anything for her new yard and first-time headgear will need to make the difference. |

11st 10lb |
Rewarded a determined Sean Bowen ride when winning off reduced mark at Plumpton (3m1f, good) in the spring; still well handicapped on older form and unexposed at around 3m but others have more persuasive profiles. |

Out of the frame in all 11 starts and hasn't been getting home in his last few outings over further after having done plenty early; drop back in trip makes sense on return from four months off but still hard to warm to. |
