8th Apr 2023 Soft 2m 4f 198y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
11-race maiden but only two starts over fences and was close second at Hexham (1m7f, heavy) last week; nudged up 3lb but he still looks feasibly treated and has form at up to 2m5f over hurdles; dangerous in another change of headgear. |

30th Mar 2023 Heavy 1m 7f 133y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Tailed off on chase debut here (3m, heavy) a fortnight ago but he's never convinced over that trip and he ran okay for a fair way; good third over hurdles at Ayr (2m5f, heavy) in January when wearing first-time cheekpieces and perhaps the first-time blinkers will give him a boost today. |

14th Oct 2023 Heavy 1m 7f 133y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Four-time chase winner in France but his last success was in 2019 and he's been generally very disappointing in Britain; on reduced mark but he was a remote third at Perth two weeks ago and others are preferred. |
8/1 |

27th Sep 2023 Soft 2m 4f 20y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Four-time chase winner in France but generally very disappointing in Britain; unlucky to come to grief after first fence at Cartmel last month (first-time blinkers) and Brian Hughes is booked again here but he's 4lb out of the weights and remains difficult to enthuse over. |
25/1 |

28th Aug 2023 Soft 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Four French wins (up to 2019) but 0-15 in Britain and some way behind two of today's rivals over C&D last month; Brian Hughes back on board and blinkers the latest aid to be fitted but too many doubts. |

6th May 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |

Shouldn't be the answer on these terms but at least he ran a half-decent race last time. |

24th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 133y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Well treated on his win at Wetherby (1m7f, heavy) last March but things have not gone well this season and he was tailed off behind Cudgel over C&D last month; has something to prove and he needs to jump better than last time. |
25/1 |

30th Mar 2023 Heavy 1m 7f 133y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
7lb lower than when winning at Wetherby (1m7f, heavy) last March and he's not totally written off in this weak race, but this inconsistent 11yo has been soundly beaten the last twice and needs to raise his game. |

10st 2lb |
Pulled up over fences on all three outings last year; showed some of his old zest when back over hurdles at Ayr (3m, good) last month but was on the retreat before falling at third-last flight; others preferred. |

22nd Apr 2024 Heavy 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Ex-Irish; has won three chases for this yard, the latest at Carlisle in April 2022 (2m5f, good); creditable fourth over hurdles from well out of the handicap on same track last month, but went up the ratings following that and others now look better treated. |

30th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Not the most reliable these days but was under 5l away in a C&D handicap three weeks ago when a stone out of the weights (behind Masked Crusader); remains to be seen if that flattered him and he's off the same mark here. |

30th Mar 2023 Heavy 1m 7f 133y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
6lb out of the handicap today; well beaten in points and his four rules runs, most recently pulled up in first-time cheekpieces (retained) on chase/handicap debut at Ayr (3m, good); however, that latest result doesn't tell anything like the full story as he jumped well in front for a long way before tiring rapidly in the straight; this drop back in trip could be ideal. |

10th Mar 2023 Good 3m 0f 20y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Unplaced in five Irish points last year and showed no significant promise in three soft-ground novice/maiden hurdles in January (2m3f-2m4f); makes chase/handicap debut from 6lb out of the weights and with first-time cheekpieces fitted; considered only if lively in the betting. |
16/1 |

25th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 3f 66y Class 4 |

Failed to threaten in points and he's been tailed off/pulled up at big odds on his first two hurdle starts. |
