10th Jan 2023 Good 2m 0f 128y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Did not have to live up to his good bumper form when a cosy winner on hurdle debut at Uttoxeter in October (2m, good) and was far from discredited when beaten nearly 10l in a warm Haydock Listed race since (1m7f, soft); should play a big part in this less demanding race. |

19th Nov 2022 Good To Soft 1m 7f 144y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Third in Listed bumper at Newbury (2m, good to soft) in February and readily won at 10-11 on last month's hurdle debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good); others have a lot more substance to their hurdle form but he has considerable potential and is not ruled out; showed promise on testing ground in a bumper. |

6th Mar 2023 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Soundly beaten at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) in January in his first handicap hurdle but 2m on the forecast good ground might represent his optimum conditions for now, and this lightly raced 7yo is not written off. |

Only the five runs, falling in the latest on his chase debut when on the retreat; now makes handicap debut as a hurdler and there were positives to take from his novice efforts here. |

30th Nov 2022 Good To Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 5 |

Four career starts; runner-up over hurdles at Uttoxeter last month but didn't build on that at the same track two weeks later; trainer wasting no time sending him chasing but opening handicap mark demands improvement. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 187y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Northern runner who has looked as good as ever in winning two of his last three races, taking chase record to 6-18; did it quite readily at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) latest; ran respectably at Newbury in November; likely player in current form. |

5-17 over fences and his win at Aintree (2m4f, good to soft) on Boxing Day was up there with his best efforts; ran poorly at Cheltenham four weeks later but in the mix if bouncing back. |

Easily his best run when weakening from the third-last flight at Uttoxeter (2m novice, good) three runs ago; departed early when 16-1 for his handicap debut and was then pulled up at Hereford (soft; 66-1); getting back on drier ground may help matters and still early days; cheekpieces added. |

29th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 50y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Progressive 5yo who doubled his tally for the season when rallying well for Cameron Iles at Worcester (2m, good to soft; first-time tongue-tie) last month; could still have more to offer; respected. |

1st 1 |
29th Sep 2023 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Improved to win quite comfortably at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in May, his sixth start over hurdles, and has finished second three consecutive times since; sports first-time tongue-tie today and capable 10lb claimer Cameron Iles is enlisted; likely to be right in the thick of things again. |

Just 1-20 over hurdles but hasn't been with current stable long and seemed to respond well to first-time cheekpieces when close second to Quick Of The Night at Worcester (2m, good) this month; one to consider. |

7th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Sole win was in May 2023 but that was a clearcut success over C&D (good); still 3lb higher than for that win but she's had only two runs for current yard and was a creditable second at Uttoxeter last time; should get a good tow into this race and she's in the mix back at this track; tongue-tie reapplied and wears first-time cheekpieces. |

5th Jun 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |

Only won the once and that was over two years ago, over 2m on good ground off 3lb lower; one of the favourites for recent stable debut at Ffos Las but was beaten when departing late on; that run was after a break and she could be sharper all round this time. |

Hit the ground running when first tried in blinkers, winning twice (2m7f, good; 3m2f, good to soft); patchy since but two runs back she was runner-up on soft at Wincanton (3m1f) and that brings her into it. |

Won twice when fitted with blinkers in September (2m7f/3m2f) and looked as good as ever when second at Wincanton (3m1f, soft) last month; not one to rely upon heavily but will be fine on today's ground and features prominently in calculations. |

Below par the last twice and particularly disappointing at Taunton last month when making it 0-10; however, perhaps the first-time hood will help and a case can be made judged on his close third at Doncaster (2m, good) last November; also effective on soft ground. |

Only four completed when a 16l third at Exeter (3m, good to soft) and that was another effort well below the form he showed in 2024; reduced mark is for good reason but this isn't a strong race, so hard to leave him out of calculations. |
