27th Sep 2023 Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
6-6 over hurdles/fences for Iain Jardine this season, with most notable success coming from a long way off the pace in Summer Plate at Market Rasen (2m5f, soft); also very well suited by this track and Harry Cobden (aboard the last twice) keeps the ride for today's first start back with Claire O'Connell |

19th Aug 2023 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Five wins from five starts since joining Iain Jardine, the first off 21lb lower over C&D (soft) and the latest the valuable Summer Plate over fences off 4lb lower at Market Rasen (2m5f, soft); should go very well again. |

22nd Jul 2023 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 1 |
10st 3lb |
Ex-Irish mare who is 4-4 for new stable this year, alternating between hurdling and chasing; carries 5lb penalty for beating only two rivals at Perth (2m4f, soft) on Sunday and is 1lb out of the weights here but is evidently in prime form. |

Won a couple of 2m4f chases for Jackie Stephen; sound run when 2l second at Catterick in November (3m1f, good) but disappointing since; plenty to prove now. |

33-1 runner-up to I See The Sea over C&D in November; however, two lesser performances have followed and this 11yo needs to get back on track. |

Well beaten on both starts for this stable in the autumn (2m4f/2m5f) and not seen again since; back up in trip with cheekpieces refitted today; 3lb wrong; needs to prove some ability remains. |

in touch with leaders on inner (trainer said, regarding the running of gelding here on going described as Good, having declared gelding a non-runner at Market Rasen on ground with the same official description, that in his opinion the going at Market Rasen was riding slower than ideal after rainfall) |

5th Jan 2024 Soft 2m 7f 138y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
C&D winner who has dropped to a tempting mark but he needs to produce more than on his last two starts, most recently a 12l seventh behind a few of these over C&D (good to soft); reapplied cheekpieces replace visor (he's been similarly effective in both forms of headgear in the past). |
8/1 |

18th Dec 2023 Soft 2m 7f 138y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
His last win was was off 1lb higher over C&D in March 2021; lightly raced since but he still retains most of his ability and he caught the eye with his staying-on sixth at Ayr (2m4f, good to soft) last month; wasn't beaten far in that race and he's in the mix back over this more suitable trip. |

8th Nov 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 68y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Won over C&D (good to soft) in March and back on the scoresheet when doing it easily at Perth (2m4f, soft) in September; made two bad mistakes and was pulled up at Ayr (2m4f, good to soft) only on Saturday but remains of interest in view of that penultimate performance. |

Just held on to open account off 2lb lower at Musselburgh (2m4f, good to soft) in March and also ran well on his next two outings (2m5f/3m); has fitness to prove after 133-day break but still enters calculations. |

10st 2lb |
Has some useful hurdle/chase form on his CV but yet to add to his Irish maiden hurdle win in 2019 and getting long in the tooth now; well beaten over hurdles this month; headgear switched for chase return; 4lb wrong. |

Struggled to get competitive off lowly marks in handicap chases last year but appeared to display improvement when making all to cause 12-1 surprise in maiden point at Friars Haugh (2m4f, good to soft) last month; now needs to build on that performance. |
