Six chase wins including this race in 2023; has been regressive this year and was poor at Galway last time; coming back here may help, though. |

19th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
Worcester winner last summer off 4lb higher (2m4f) but below that level since and merely stayed on at the one pace for a remote third at Bangor last month (2m4f); won't mind returning to further but could do with the rain staying away. |

11st 5lb |
Worcester mares' chase win off 2lb higher last July (2m4f, good) but well below that level since, any benefit of the wind surgery negated in part by mistakes on last month's Uttoxeter outing; others preferred. |

25th May 2025 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |

One standout performance for current yard, namely Worcester win off this mark last July; nicely weighted but needs a physical tweak (wind surgery since last run) to facilitate a revival. |

Dual hurdle winner is rated 120 in that sphere; yet to score in 10 starts over fences but has run well a number of times, including over 2m4f here last time; this trip will suit better and should be a player. |
