25th Jun 2024 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Dual 2m4f chase winner at Wincanton; had dropped to a career-low mark when returning to form with a near miss at Warwick (2m4f, good) and fair chance if following one good run with another. |

2nd 4 |
30th May 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Dual 2m4f chase winner (both good to soft) at Wincanton, where six of his best seven efforts have come; handy mark but little encouragement in his recent form. |
8/1 |

11th May 2024 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won twice over 2m4f in 2022-23 season but was out of form last term and is yet to convince stamina-wise over this sort of trip; drops in grade today but still needs to up his game. |

23rd Mar 2023 Soft 3m 6f 130y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Placed in all three completed chases for new stable this season, most recently when staying-on second at Taunton (2m7f, good) last month; raced rather lazily there but should be fine on this slower ground and could have untapped potential over marathon trips. |

21st Feb 2023 Good 2m 7f 3y Class 4 |

held up in rear, not fluent and reminder 6th, reminder 11th, ridden 4 out, some headway from 3 out, no chance with winner but went second approaching last, kept on well |

3rd 1 |
5th Feb 2023 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Became disappointing for Ben Pauling but was second on stable debut at Wincanton (2m4f, good to soft) in December and ran well for a long way before unseating rider in Fakenham marathon last month; enters calculations. |

1st May 2023 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 3 |
10st 3lb |
Has held his form since February's Market Rasen romp (2m3f, good), equalling rather than surpassing his previous best RPR in last month's narrow defeat upped to a stayer's trip; likely a bit more needed. |
10/1 |

23rd Apr 2023 Good 3m 1f 152y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Rattled off a hat-trick over hurdles last spring; off the mark at the third attempt over fences at Market Rasen in February and he has finished second in both runs since, narrowly giving best to Northern Poet over C&D two weeks ago; should remain competitive but no certainty to reverse the placings. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 2 |
9th Apr 2023 Good 3m 1f 152y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Market Rasen winner in February and defeat under a penalty came just seven days later; unraced beyond 2m4f but pedigree suggests he could well stay; has started favourite in latest six outings (winning three). |

10th Jan 2023 Good 3m 0f 84y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Has won three point-to-points but only fair efforts in that sphere last year; fair run when fourth in a 2m4f handicap chase at Wincanton last time (good to soft) but others have stronger claims. |

All three wins at 2m4f on ground ranging from soft to good but her form tailed off after the latest of them in October 2021 and stamina is a query now back at nearly 3m. |

10st 9lb |
Defied a 12lb higher mark in 2020 for previous stable; best efforts for new yard when solid second over C&D in September/October; could well go one better, provided he takes to new headgear. |

Both wins came in 2021; respectable third at Warwick (3m, good) on sole run this year; place possibilities on return from another break. |

30th Jun 2023 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Creditable third at Warwick last month (3m) on return from a break; this trip is short of his best but has run well over 2m5f at Fakenham so may take to this similarly tight left-handed track; more appeal than most. |
9/2 |

3rd 6 |
13th May 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |

2-17 over fences; versatile regarding trip/ground and his current mark is workable but hasn't been seen since a poor run in early December. |
14/1 |
