Without a win since January 2021 and he hasn't really been threatening this winter, especially so at Doncaster most recently when the first beaten (3m, soft); wouldn't be the percentage call. |

10st 12lb |
Well held in the latest final of this series but ties in with Boldmere on Newbury running next time out; early faller in similar event at Chepstow most recently; competitively handicapped granted a clear round. |

Not the most consistent but he was returning from a similar break when winning over C&D at this meeting two years ago off 3lb higher; confined to only seven starts in the meantime and some of them were highly respectable. |

7th Jan 2023 Soft 3m 0f 37y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Often front-runner; remains very sprightly, including for two wins last season and when fourth at Cheltenham on the second of his three runs late last year; however, no show in this contest last term and there's a suspicion that this race will prove too competitive. |

30th Jun 2023 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 4 |
10st 11lb |
Now 6lb lower than when winning at Wetherby (3m, good) in November but not really firing on all cylinders this spring, albeit he kept on to make the frame twice at Hexham this month (3m/2m4f); others preferred. |

Began last season with win off 4lb higher at Wetherby (3m, good) in November but hasn't been in the same form again since, and was about 19l behind Lights Are Green and No Regrets when fifth over C&D last month. |

29th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 3m 2f 54y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Very useful hurdler/chaser on his day for Philip Hobbs but this year's point/hunter chase form was very disappointing, and he was tailed off in this grade of handicap on latest outing in July. |

Very useful hurdler/chaser on his day for Philip Hobbs but was pulled up in back-to-back points before trailing home last in a hunter chase in May; has rejoined Christian Williams but he needs a major revival after another short break; one of three runners for the yard. |

27th Feb 2024 Soft 2m 3f 66y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Regressive 10yo who is better known as a staying chaser now; didn't run badly when switched back to hurdling two starts ago (2m7f) and will appreciate today's ease in grade but younger rivals appeal more. |

24th Jan 2024 Soft 3m 1f 54y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Ran some fair races over fences last autumn but this 10yo is nothing like as good as he was; well beaten back over hurdles last time and others have more going for them. |
8/1 |

6th Jan 2024 Soft 2m 7f 149y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
10yo who isn't the force of old but ran some fair races over fences in the autumn, most recently third at Musselburgh (2m7f, soft); continues to edge down the weights and might not be far away if the return to hurdling isn't a problem (three wins in this sphere, which he last tackled in May 2022). |
