21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Very inconsistent nowadays and needs to bounce back from tame effort in valuable handicap hurdle here three weeks ago but ran well from the front when second in C&D (good) chase in May and has claims if judged on that. |
5/1 |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Quickly switches back to hurdling after good second over fences here (2m1f, good) last month; does not have much margin for error off current mark but will cope a lot better than some of these if the ground ends up heavy. |
8/1 |

24th May 2025 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Six-time hurdle winner on soft/heavy ground; reverts to fences on a tempting mark but was well beaten in his only previous chase (in October 2023) and there may not be enough rain about for him today. |

1st Jan 2024 Soft 1m 7f 156y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Signs of promise over hurdles, notably when runner-up in a novice handicap at Sedgefield in March (2m1f, soft); could go well back from a break. |
10/1 |

12th May 2023 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
No match for comfortable winner when second on handicap debut at Sedgefield (2m1f, soft) in March but that still goes down as a decent effort, and he may not have been suited by the heavy ground when below that form over same C&D last month; could have a say here. |

26th Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Won at Catterick off 5lb higher in January (1m7f, soft); poor efforts this term; stable going well but he has a bit to prove at present. |
8/1 |
|
7th 3 |
14th Dec 2023 Heavy 2m 0f 190y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Has a patchy profile and he was pulled up on last month's reappearance at Sedgefield, but he may have needed the run and his stable is currently in flying form; he's 1lb below his last winning mark and could go well. |
12/1 |

9th Nov 2023 Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Has dropped to a mark 1lb lower than when winning at Catterick (1m7f, soft) in January, and he's effective over C&D; watch the betting but there's a suspicion he'll need this first outing since April. |

10th May 2024 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Placed over C&D (soft) for Tracy Waggott in November and started off for new stable with two respectable 2m4f runs in March/April, but he's 0-10 over hurdles now and competes from 1lb out of the weights today. |

Sole win came on Flat in 2021; holds weak claims on hurdles form and latest defeat took record in this sphere to 0-10; opposed. |

23rd Mar 2023 Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Failed to improve for the switch to handicap level at Newcastle last month having been friendless in the betting; this six-race maiden holds weak claims on overall form and needs a big step forward. |
16/1 |

25th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 190y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Showed very little on first four starts but was making some encouraging late headway when a final-flight faller at Wetherby (2m, soft) last month; could be in the mix if building on that now handicapping. |
12/1 |
