6th 10 |
28th Apr 2023 Good 3m 2f 54y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Fitted with a tongue-tie on last two starts when staying-on fourth of 15 here (3m, soft) and winning at Newton Abbot (3m2f, soft) 16 days later; fortunate in the latter, as the clear leader fell two out, but she's back up only 1lb and brings far more positives than most of these. |

1st 3 |
8th Apr 2023 Heavy 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Fitted with a tongue-tie, first sign of promise over fences when staying on from the rear for fourth at Chepstow (3m, soft) 16 days ago, with the reopposing Galop Du Bosc just under 2l ahead in second; this longer trip should suit on that evidence; considered. |

23rd Mar 2023 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Six-race maiden who didn't look very enthusiastic when well beaten in two chases during the winter (2m4f/2m6f); tongue-tie added today; significant improvement required. |

3rd 4 |
24th Nov 2023 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Off the mark under rules in a 3m3f chase at Stratford in April (good to soft); returned from a three-month absence to win a 2m5f handicap hurdle at Newton Abbot in October and followed up over fences at Ffos Las two weeks later; not at her best over hurdles in hat-trick bid last month but no real surprise were she to bounce back. |

15th Oct 2023 Soft 2m 5f 110y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Game winner of gruelling handicap chase at Stratford (3m3f, good to soft) in April and again looked suited by emphasis on stamina when keeping on well to reel in the long-time leader over hurdles at Newton Abbot (2m5f, soft) last month; probably needs a career best here. |

Only second chase start when runner-up at Wincanton (3m1f, good to soft) but it was a modest race and he's finished well held at Plumpton since, taking his record to 0-15. |

17th May 2023 Soft 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Only win came in an Irish point more than three years ago; chasing career has been mostly disappointing but much better when fourth in a bunch finish at Warwick last month; repeat of that brings him into the reckoning. |
6/1 |

27th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Second of five at Fontwell (2m5f, soft) 14 months ago but has struggled on all three starts this season and is very difficult to enthuse over. |

Pulled up in three consecutive chases for Tim Vaughan last year and there was no revival when he switched back to hurdling in new headgear for new stable last month; blinkers refitted today. |

30th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 1f 54y Class 5 |

Runner-up at Southwell last April but a long way below that level on his three runs since and this 11yo's sole win came back in November 2023. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Very inconsistent 10yo who sometimes races lazily and is never easy to predict; comes here fresh and on career-low mark but has presumably been overlooked by Sean Bowen today and cannot be supported with much confidence; versatile ground-wise. |
10/1 |

7th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |

3lb out of the weights; kept on for second at Southwell three weeks ago (3m, good) but this 10yo is hard to predict. |

22nd Aug 2024 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
0-11 under rules; kept on well for second over fences at Fakenham (3m, good) in April and didn't run badly on soft ground last month, but makes only limited appeal on this return to hurdling; 1lb wrong; tongue-tie added. |
16/1 |

17th Jul 2024 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Fell on his first two attempts over fences, but had the race at his mercy at Newton Abbot (3m2f, soft; from 3lb higher) on the second occasion; has failed to sparkle since - usually labouring in rear - although there was a glimmer of spark at Fakenham over Easter. |
11/2 |

2nd 6 |
1st Apr 2024 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Unlucky not to open his account at Newton Abbot (3m2f, soft) just under a year ago and ran well when fourth at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) on Boxing Day, after a layoff, but was struggling from fairly early stage at Chepstow in January and can't be supported with any confidence after that. |
