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

Won two chases (3m2f/2m7f) when cheekpieces were refitted last spring but has been pulled up on all four outings this year; tried blinkers last time; usual tongue-tie his only headgear here; 2lb out of the weights. |

17th Jun 2023 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Running well and was out of the weights when beaten under 5l at Warwick (3m1f, good) most recently; 3lb lower this time and can have a say. |

24th May 2023 Good 3m 1f 100y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Lost out only by a neck in 15-runner handicap chase here (3m, good) last month and was clear second to progressive rival at Huntingdon (2m7f, good) a fortnight ago; evidently in good heart but competes from 5lb out of the weights today and his career strike-rate now stands at 0-31. |

Chance wasn't obviously nearing before almost making it 30th time lucky at Warwick a fortnight ago (3m, good) from 5lb out of the weights; no good thing to back that up, but does run off his true mark this time. |

8th Jun 2023 Good 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Ex-Irish maiden who still has low mileage; posted an encouraging effort with tongue-tie applied at Huntingdon (2m7f; second run for new yard; heavily backed) last month, while shaping as if this drop back in distance will suit; open to improvement on the back of that; interesting. |

11th May 2023 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |

Made a noise when pulling up on his stable debut last October (2m3.5f, good), his only outing in two years; hope may rest on tongue-tie. |

Modest/regressive form in Ireland and following a long absence he was pulled up in a 2m3f handicap chase at Stratford; has it all to prove. |

29th May 2023 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Well held over fences the last twice but has always looked better as a hurdler and runner-up over C&D off this mark in February; good or quicker ground ideal and should certainly be in the shake-up. |

11th May 2023 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |

Heavy and (last time) fast-deteriorating ground have counted against him on both handicap chase starts this year; replication of form of 3m1f hurdles second off 5lb higher here in February sees him go close, however. |

21st Dec 2023 Soft 2m 3f 48y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Very lightly raced 9yo but he's failed to complete in three of his four chase runs and was beaten 34l on the other; has had wind surgery but he's 5lb out of the weights here and needs a transformation after a short break. |

Maiden; pulled up at Huntingdon last month on British debut (second start over fences): others have more to recommend them. |

17th Jun 2023 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |

Ex-Irish maiden who was pulled up on last month's stable debut at Huntingdon (2m7f, good); difficult to enthuse over after that performance. |

11th May 2023 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Inconsistent winter over hurdles for Liz Lalor either side of a huge task in a Graded mares' novice chase; out of a useful 2m2f-2m4f chaser so some hope in this sphere, if maybe not over this far; stable bow. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Grand veteran with eight wins over hurdles, including two over C&D last summer; down to his last winning mark and should be sharper for his fifth at Hereford last month following a five-month layoff, but you have to think that one of his younger rivals should have his measure. |
12/1 |

16th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Registered a four-timer last April-June (3m1f/2m7f, good/good to soft); very in and out since and he's now a 13yo but he finished on the heels of the principals off today's mark at Warwick in November when last seen; more to prove after the break. |
4/1 |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 3m 1f 5y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Secured the second leg of a four-timer with wide-margin win over C&D (good) in May; now just 2lb above his last winning mark but generally well beaten since (the exception in a four-runner race) and he was tailed off last time; others look more likely. |

11st 9lb |
Trainer's first runner in a chase for 12 years when last of five in a mares' C&D event latest, running at least up to her mark but not seeing out the trip; passed over here, despite a 3lb drop; cheekpieces added. |
12/1 |

Won 2m2f novice hurdle in late 2020 (good to firm) but pulled up in two handicaps after; can only watch on chase debut back from two years off. |
