26th Jan 2025 Soft 3m 2f 59y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Won three times over fences in the 2022-23 season and well handicapped on that form; however, he struggled on his final two outings last term (hurdles/fences) and was pulled up over hurdles at Ayr on January 2 when back from an absence; others arrive with less to prove. |

Returns from an absence on a handy mark and having had wind surgery, and he's won here twice over fences; however, he was tailed off on his last two starts (hurdles/fences) and his best form has come in chases. |

Won a couple of 2m4f chases for Jackie Stephen; sound run when 2l second at Catterick in November (3m1f, good) but disappointing since; plenty to prove now. |

Well beaten on both starts for this stable in the autumn (2m4f/2m5f) and not seen again since; back up in trip with cheekpieces refitted today; 3lb wrong; needs to prove some ability remains. |

27th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Off the mark in Britain when arriving late at Wetherby last month (2m5f, good); his Newcastle second (2m4f, heavy) off this 3lb higher mark was no backward step and this belated return to further shouldn't be too big an issue. |
9/4 |

29th Mar 2023 Heavy 2m 4f 19y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Quite consistent and off the mark in Britain at the 18th attempt when swooping late at Wetherby this month; 3lb rise neither here nor there and expert at completing but overall record suggests he may prove vulnerable. |

6th Mar 2023 Good 2m 5f 75y Class 5 |

10l runner-up at Kelso (2m5f, heavy) in January and occupied the same position at Musselburgh (2m4f, soft) a fortnight ago; also effective on good ground; however, it looked to be a weak race last time and this 11yo is now 0-17 since arriving from France; may again find some others to be too good. |

16th Mar 2024 Heavy 2m 7f 91y Class 5 |

3m chase winner on good last spring; last two efforts have been well below par but she is now well treated on form earlier in the season; bit to prove but no surprise if she bounces back. |

18th Feb 2024 Soft 2m 7f 138y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
3m Ayr winner last March and runner-up twice over about 2m5f/2m4f in the autumn; needs to bounce back from a heavy defeat at Kelso on latest outing and now has cheekpieces first time; more appeal than most. |

Runner-up twice in a row in the autumn (C&D/2m4f, good/soft) before fair fourth of five here (3m2f, soft), when not quite seeing out the trip; every chance she'll be in the mix now back down in distance. |

Not as good as he was and when backed at Wincanton (3m, good) a month ago he was found wanting when it mattered; has become very difficult to win with but should still be involved. |

24th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Only win came in Ireland two years ago and he's generally struggled in Britain including in his two runs (2m4f, heavy) after wind surgery this spring; mark continues to fall but is easy to have reservations. |

29th Mar 2023 Heavy 2m 4f 19y Class 5 |

Only win came in Ireland two years ago; flashes of form in Britain but was pulled up behind Lisloran at Ayr in December and again at Hexham recently, after wind surgery; too many doubts. |

16th Mar 2023 Heavy 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |

Ex-Irish; strike-rate of 1-24; these conditions suit (only win was over 2m4f on heavy) but hasn't been at his best this season; blinkers now replace cheekpieces; others stronger. |
25/1 |
