No match for easy winner when second at Plumpton this month, having refused to settle in first-time blinkers, but was first past the post in cheekpieces at Taunton (3m, good to soft; demoted to second) two starts ago and the cheekpieces are back on here; player if handling the forecast fast ground. |

4th Jul 2025 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Three-time point winner; 12l third to Keel Strand in C&D novice last month (good) and enjoys a huge weights turnaround with that rival now back in a handicap; however, the winner has improved again since whereas this 9yo is now 0-13 under rules and could be vulnerable once more. |

Point winner who is one to watch in the betting off a lowly mark on her chase debut; however, she's been struggling over hurdles this year and needs to raise her game in a big way. |

Bumper and three-time hurdle winner when trained by Dan Skelton but has not shown much for new stable this year (three runs), and can't really blame the slow ground; sports refitted cheekpieces today; needs to turn a corner. |

27th Sep 2025 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Started off for Olly Murphy with three hurdle wins this spring (2m6f-2m7f); well beaten on chasing debut in July but travelled strongly for a long way before fading into fourth at Stratford (3m3f, good to firm) last month, and today's drop back in trip looks the right move; shortlisted. |

Started off for Olly Murphy with three hurdle wins this spring (2m6f-2m7f) and also ran well when upped to 3m2f here for next outing; well beaten when ridden much more patiently than usual on last month's chasing debut but runs this track very well and could still have a future over fences. |
