13th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Generally in good form for this yard over fences and was in the process of leaving behind a pull-up over hurdles when falling in a handicap chase at Cartmel two weeks ago (2m1f); it was four out so still some way from home, but he's firmly in the reckoning. |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Ended a 17-race losing run on his third start for this yard when scoring by 12l in a first-time visor at Market Rasen (2m3f, good) nine days ago; still well treated on older form despite an 11lb rise, but needs to bounce back after pulling up over hurdles here on Friday. |

27th Jun 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Came good for new stable at third attempt, with 12l success over fences at Market Rasen (2m3f, good; first-time visor) a week ago; only 1lb higher for this return to hurdling and won't mind if there's rain about; major player. |

9th May 2026 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Two more chase wins in 2025, the latest at Windsor (3m, good to soft; suited by good) in November; often battled with unsuitable ground over the winter but 4lb lower than at Windsor so has a weights chance. |

16th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 157y Class 5 |

2lb below his Windsor success in November but he's not matched that level since, latest when well held at Taunton (2m7f, heavy) last month; needs the return to better ground to spark a revival. |

10st 11lb |
Frustrating performer; 0-15 over fences (placed in nine of them) and pulled up when tried in cheekpieces on latest; first hurdle start since March 2021 and hard to be confident this will be his golden hour. |

17th May 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Longstanding maiden who was disappointing at Exeter last month and it's hard to be confident after that; however, he went there on the back of two good seconds (2m4f/2m, good/soft) and it's possible he'll be able to bounce back in first-time cheekpieces and a reapplied tongue-tie; not written off. |

17th Oct 2023 Good 2m 5f 163y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Seemingly back in good form when placed at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) in June but not much has gone to plan since; soundly beaten when upped to 2m4f in August and has further to go here; swaps cheekpieces for refitted visor; not the percentage call. |

30th Aug 2023 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
No paragon of consistency but Taunton winner in February (2m3f, made all, first time in a visor) and also ran well at Newton Abbot in June; heavy ground probably to blame when pulled up here latest; often leads. |

11th Jul 2023 Soft 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |

Won a novice handicap with a first-time visor at Taunton in February (2m3f, good) and fair third in ordinary Newton Abbot handicap two runs back (2m1f, good); cheekpieces now tried; soft ground perhaps not ideal. |

Well over three years since his only win; out of form and out of the weights; little significance in the return of cheekpieces. |

Plugged on for fairly respectable fourth at Newton Abbot (2m5f, heavy) last month but it's over three years since his only win and he's a good way out of the handicap again here. |

17th Sep 2024 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |

Long in the tooth now and nothing like the force of old but proved he still has fire in his belly when close/clear second to Gallimimus over C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago. |

2nd Sep 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |

Eight wins under both codes but he's been quiet on the Flat this year and has been beaten 10l or more over C&D in last two runs; continues to drop down the weights but this 11yo has plenty to prove. |

Bettered his disappointing chase/handicap debut when respectable third at Wincanton (2m4f, heavy) in January 2021 but we haven't seen him again since and today's drop back in trip is not sure to suit; market may guide. |

29th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Well held in two chases and one back over hurdles on latest three starts; won at this time last year (in first-time cheekpieces) after a bleak spell so lightning could strike twice as she now sports a visor. |

18th Mar 2023 Soft 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Unknown quantity at present as she had a very stiff task back hurdling last week after two modest chase runs, but she won this off a similar mark in 2022 (soft) in first-time cheekpieces and this headgear switch could suit; worth considering. |
9/2 |

6th 3 |
12th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Well beaten over fences the last twice but good ground may not have suited last time and she's not ruled out now back on a slower surface over hurdles, off a mark just 1lb higher than when winning at Uttoxeter (2m, soft) last May on her latest attempt in this sphere. |

9th May 2023 Good 2m 5f 44y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Has won two small-field mares chases at Leicester (2m4f, good; by 3l from Auditoria) and Wincanton (2m4f, good; Auditoria third) on last two starts; still feasibly treated and has a chance. |

10th Apr 2023 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Plenty to find with Methodtothemagic on Leicester form in February (2m6f, good) but has done better since returned to 2m4f on last two starts, making all at Leicester and Wincanton (good/good to soft); has a stamina query beyond that trip. |

27th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |

Made all in similar event at Leicester (2m4f, good; opened her chase account) last month, beating Auditoria who went one better last week; likely player provided she's in the same form (lacks consistency). |
