Stayed well on the Flat when with Ed Bethell, though plied his trade at an ordinary level; ended up tailed off on hurdling debut at Fakenham and he looks up against it. |

12th Apr 2024 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Fair Flat handicapper for Ed Bethell, winning over 1m6f at Catterick in August when blinkered for the first time; no headgear and may eventually need further but an interesting newcomer. |

2nd Oct 2024 Good To Soft 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
1m6f course winner; not quite at his best here last time, having raced freely when second over C&D prior to that; a similar effort to that penultimate start would give him claims. |
9/2 |

5th 3 (9) |
6th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 1m 7f 189y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Has a good record here and was third in this last year; won here (1m6f, good to soft) this May and runner-up over today's C&D (soft) last time; seems versatile ground-wise; could play a leading role. |

21st Jul 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Three wins and two seconds to his name from ten runs over C&D but he's struggled this year; absent for ten weeks since hanging right on the home turn over C&D and others make more obvious appeal. |
10/1 |

9th 3 (7) |
11th May 2026 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Three wins, two seconds and two thirds to his name from nine runs over C&D; will need a career-best off this mark, though, and there's nothing to suggest he's best caught fresh (off since January). |

16th Oct 2023 Soft 1m 3f 99y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Finished strongly to lead close home at Lingfield (11.6f, soft) in July and is now only 1lb above that mark but her subsequent form has been underwhelming and she's not one to rely upon. |
20/1 |
|
9th 8 (1) |
27th Sep 2023 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
All races over shorter, getting off the mark over an extended 1m3f on soft at Lingfield in July; lesser effort upped to 1m6f next time and never a threat back on Lingfield AW (1m5f) 11 days ago; stamina unknown for 2m. |
14/1 |

6th 6 (6) |
16th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 5f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Gained her breakthrough victory here (11.5f) in July and not disgraced off a 3lb higher mark when fourth of ten at Catterick (1m6f) 17 days ago; she can't be discounted. |

26th Jul 2025 Good 1m 4f 63y Class 5 |
8st 12lb |
Won two in a row on turf last August and latest was off 2lb lower; generally disappointing since last success but he made some late headway when fourth at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm) last month; that was more like it and he has each-way claims if he can build on that. |

The last three of his ten wins were last May-September (two over 1m4f then one at 1m6f) and he's 6-18 at Catterick, unraced here since two placed efforts in 2020; well beaten at three other tracks this term but he's now back to his last winning mark. |
