1st Apr 2024 Good To Soft 1m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Two-time Flat winner who won on his handicap hurdle debut at Doncaster (2m, good) in January, beating a big field with something to spare; also effective on good to soft; unexposed in this code and this 5yo may well take a 7lb rise in his stride. |

Ran encouragingly at Sedgefield (second hurdles attempt) on Boxing Day and may well build on that effort; has a handy opening mark judged on Flat form; interesting. |

3rd Jul 2023 Good 1m 0f 2y Class 5 |
9st 3lb |
Seven-race maiden who has been well held in turf handicaps (1m/1m2f) in both his runs this season; looks feasibly treated on his best form but he needs a visor to help spark him back into action. |
14/1 |

13th Jun 2023 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Safely held in two turf handicaps last month (1m/1m2f) and now 0-7; might be aided by first-time visor here and the return to Tapeta ought to suit but he's drawn wide and others have more pressing claims. |

9st 6lb |
Scored over C&D in October but he's gone off the boil, coming in last of nine in 7f Wolverhampton handicap 23 days ago; cheekpieces replace blinkers and he has plenty to prove. |

27th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 1m 3f 0y Class 5 |
10st 0lb |
In the frame in three AW novices at around 1m during the winter but, having been off for 140 days, he failed to beat a rival on turf/handicap debut at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm) last month; enough to prove. |
25/1 |

19th Jun 2023 Good To Firm 1m 3f 39y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
Made the frame in three AW novice races last autumn/winter (1m/8.6f) but, following a break, was last of ten when 28-1 for last month's turf/handicap debut (1m2f); remains unexposed but is not the obvious answer today. |

24th May 2023 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 5 |

Three fair efforts at about 1m on the AW in the winter (two for Billy Loughnane, who rides Meng Tian); interesting to see how he goes in the market now handicapping after five months off. |

26th Apr 2023 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Ran to fair level in four AW novice races this year and heavy ground was surely a factor in him finishing tailed off on his handicap debut at Leicester (1m); stamina is not assured over this far but likely to have more to offer. |
6/1 |

4th 4 (1) |
14th Apr 2023 Heavy 1m 0f 53y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Ran to fair level in four AW novice races this year, most notably when second of five at Lingfield (1m) on third occasion; should have some improvement to come in handicaps and it will be interesting to see whether today's switch to slow turf suits. |
4/1 |
|
6th 3 (8) |
13th Mar 2023 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 3 |
9st 5lb |
Steady progress in his first three starts, culminating in a length defeat by Divine Rapture at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) last month; 7lb better off with the winner and he may step up again, but given he had previous experience he is far from certain to reverse the form. |

17th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Scored at Southwell (1m4f) in March but only ninth of 11 in handicap over C&D ten days ago; not proving the easiest to catch right of late. |
20/1 |

9th 6 (11) |
7th Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Easily landed an amateur riders' event at Southwell (1m4f, AW) in March and wasn't beaten far into fourth of 12 in a similar contest at Ripon (1m4f, good) last time, but he still needs more in order to come out best here. |

18th Jun 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 10y Class 6 |

Sole turf win in this race last year; in reasonable form on AW at Southwell in the spring but his first run since wind surgery, on Newcastle AW, was a poor effort. |

21st Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Won over C&D in December and by 16l at Newcastle (extended 2m4f) in February, both from the front on good to soft; disappointing in his two runs in between and again on latest start but he was brought out quickly under a penalty in the latter; visor replaces his usual cheekpieces. |

20th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 10y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won at Musselburgh (3m) in December and by 16l at Newcastle (extended 2m4f) last Thursday, both from the front on good to soft; disappointing in his two runs in between but he'd have a huge chance under this penalty if that form from last week (a narrow career best) is repeated. |

13th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won over 3m at Musselburgh in December (good to soft); rather disappointing in his two runs since and needs to bounce back. |
