18th Mar 2023 Soft 4m 2f 8y Class 1 |
10st 13lb |
Improved in a big way this season and would have been on a four-timer had he not tipped up with the race in safe-keeping at Ffos Las (3m, soft) two starts back; showed no ill effects when winning as he liked at Newcastle and it's hard to grumble with the 11lb hike; will be entering new territory trip-wise a long way from home (unraced beyond 3m) but lots to like otherwise. |

31st Jan 2023 Soft 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Progressive 8yo who scored at Wetherby (3m, heavy) on seasonal debut in November and looked sure to follow up before last-fence fall at Ffos Las (3m, soft) last month; has to take a 7lb rise on the chin but might still be improving; major player. |

25th Feb 2024 Heavy 3m 1f 44y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Tired in the latter stages over 3m3f last month; opened his chase account at Haydock (3m1f, heavy; narrow win) the time before and has proved largely consistent; possibilities back down in trip, provided he takes well to first-time headgear. |

Yet to win over fences but plenty of sound runs to his credit, including on reappearance when third at Wetherby (3m, heavy; jockey dropped his whip on home turn); a possible |

26th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Won from the front at Ayr (3m, soft; beat Marown by 6.5l) in December to make it 3-9 over fences; couldn't lead when disappointing three months ago; if getting to the front he's not without hope of staying there. |

11st 6lb |
Returned to form with front-running win at Ayr (3m, soft) in December and is now 3-9 over fences; should be fine on this right-handed track but latest 7lb rise demands more from him and he may not be allowed an uncontested lead this time. |

28th Jan 2024 Good 3m 0f 84y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Out of form over fences in his two runs last summer, having won twice in that sphere last season; also pulled up in a chase here in December, after a break, and now swaps usual cheekpieces for first-time blinkers on this return to hurdling; down the weights and one to consider. |

11st 6lb |
Veteran who saw his run of good form come to an end when pulled up in 3m Chepstow handicap chase 30 days ago; it would come as no surprise to see him bounce back returned to this sphere. |
