22nd Oct 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 25y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Six-time hurdle winner, most recently in five-runner race at Worcester (2m7f, soft) last month; still on workable mark after recent 3lb rise but needs to bounce back from poor Flat run 12 days ago. |
8/1 |

10th Oct 2024 Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Won his latest race over hurdles two weeks ago and that after finishing runner-up on the Flat (2m1f); clearly in good order and won't mind this ground. |

27th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Consistent under both codes since joining the Flints, narrowly missing out at Uttoxeter (2m, soft) in July; similarly close second the last time a stayers' trip was tried in March 2023 off 6lb higher; chance. |

Still to get his head in front this term and he made mistakes when trailing in last of eight in 2m5f Hereford handicap chase 20 days ago; others appeal more. |

Won this last year (good to soft) and has run well in defeat on two of his last three starts, most recently at Huntingdon (2m7f, soft) this month; he's a strong candidate today. |

Rare hurdle start these days when beaten a neck at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) before returning to fences with a respectable fourth at Cheltenham (2m4f, soft; beaten 12l); a late mistake didn't help matters last time and yet he finished his race out nicely; major player now down a grade. |

Still 4lb higher than when winning over 2m6f here (good to soft) last summer but did not run badly when seventh in competitive series final at Musselburgh last month and is sure to be suited by the return to this track; major player if stamina holds out (unraced beyond 2m7f). |

1st Apr 2023 Soft 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Clearcut winner at Bangor (2m3f, good to soft) in the autumn but has struggled since, cheekpieces failing to have the desired effect at Market Rasen (2m7f; sixth of seven) on latest start; needs to rediscover her spark. |
12/1 |

6th 3 |
12th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Kept on well for clear win on seasonal debut at Bangor (2m3f, good to soft) in October but her next two runs were disappointing; needs combination of 82-day break and first-time cheekpieces to prompt a return to form. |
12/1 |

8th 4 |
20th Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Well on top at Bangor in October (2m3f, good to soft; 6lb lower) but she offered little resistance once headed at Warwick and dropped right out; likely contender if shrugging aside that disappointment and she stays this far. |

13th May 2023 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Displayed huge improvement when sauntering to 12l win at Doncaster (2m, good) in December and put two lesser efforts behind him when staying-on third at Wincanton (2m5f, good to soft) last month; still unexposed over this trip and may benefit from the addition of cheekpieces. |

3rd 3 |
16th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 5f 82y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Appeared to display huge improvement when sauntering to 12l win at Doncaster (2m, good) in December; subsequent defeat in major handicap is not viewed harshly but he looked out of sorts at Stratford last month and it's hard to know what to expect from him here. |

Won a Stratford novice (2m, good) last summer but after 486 days off he was pulled up on his handicap debut at Warwick (2m3f, soft; weak 18-1 shot) last month; still unexposed in this sphere but that was a laboured effort last time and he is best watched unless market is persuasive. |

26th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |
12st 1lb |
Not beaten far over hurdles and fences in her three runs since the cheekpieces went on, from 2m4f to 2m7f (good or good to soft); however, she looks high in the weights unless she benefits from wind surgery and a visor. |
6/1 |

2nd Mar 2023 Good 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Seemed to respond well to first-time cheekpieces when placed in big-field handicap hurdle at Huntingdon (2m4f, good to soft) in January and wasn't beaten far when third of four on recent chasing debut there (2m7f, good); ought to be on the premises again here. |
9/2 |

3rd 2 |
9th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 129y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Won three handicap hurdles last season (1m7f-2m3f, good/soft) and returned to form in first-time cheekpieces to finish third of 17 over 2m4f here 13 days ago; has stamina to prove over this longer trip but should make a chaser. |
