10st 6lb |
Absent since comfortable success in small field at Haydock (3m1f, good) six months ago; faces a stiffer task from 5lb out of weights in this better race and seems unlikely to follow up. |

19th Apr 2025 Good 3m 1f 125y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won smoothly on soft ground in this race last year (7lb higher today); handicapper has had the call since but seconds at Warwick (3m5f, good) and Haydock (3m4f, good) on last two outings showed that he should have a big say in this very small field. |

Cheekpieces worked initially when winning two chases in early 2023 but he's suffered a major slump in form; others preferred. |

Defied a 12lb higher mark in 2020 for previous stable; best efforts for new yard when solid second over C&D in September/October; could well go one better, provided he takes to new headgear. |

Others have shown considerably more under rules and his three runner-up finishes in point-to-points this winter represent relatively modest form; however, at least he arrives in good heart whereas many of these have something to prove at present; not ruled out each-way. |

Only win came at Huntingdon in March (2m7f, good to soft; second won next time); went up 8lb and didn't fare quite so well next time; cheekpieces now on again (finished seventh of eight after being hampered the last time he wore them). |

Took well to first-time visor at Worcester (2m7f, good) this month, opening his account; may build on that success and show further progress in the retained headgear; respected up 7lb. |

Maiden; hasn't looked straightforward but has been placed in two of most recent three starts, the latest when just behind Ahead Of The Field over C&D last month; visor could well help him take another step forward. |

Holds solid claims on the form of his Uttoxeter third in May but he came in a remote fifth of seven in 3m Market Rasen handicap 24 days ago; he needs to get back on track. |

10st 11lb |
2-19 over fences, his second success coming at Huntingdon in November 2021; has been struggling for a while and the combination of market support, Sean Bowen and a career-low mark failed to spark a revival last time; dropped another 2lb and the blinkers replace other headgear. |

28th May 2023 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Apart from his third at Huntingdon in January, he has been most disappointing in the last 18 months, showing little enthusiasm; pulled up over C&D latest (hampered) but perhaps Jamie Moore can inspire him. |

10th May 2023 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Raced with a lot more enthusiasm than has become the norm when third at Huntingdon (2m7f, good to soft) in January but was quickly back in the doldrums at Plumpton the following month and it's hard to predict the extent to which this regressive 9yo will warm to the task here. |

16th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Third over C&D in January on penultimate start but that's some way below his best form and far and away the best he's achieved this season; having a 17lb lower mark than this time last year helps somewhat and his stable has had lots of recent winners. |

12th Oct 2023 Good To Firm 2m 3f 48y Class 5 |

Last win was in May 2022 off a 9lb higher mark; no worthwhile form in his six subsequent appearances and does have a lot to prove right now. |

24th May 2023 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Stayed on well to win this race by 12l off a 9lb higher mark a year ago but was out of form on his three appearances in the autumn, and it's hard to say anything positive about last month's reappearance run (albeit the ground was softer than he prefers); needs a good boost from the first-time cheekpieces. |

16th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |

Won at Warwick (3m1f, good) last May; 4lb lower today but that's because he's been right out of form since. |
