Won a maiden hurdle (2m, good) for Ben Pauling 14 months ago but that is his only win from 16 starts and he's struggled in two runs (chase/hurdle) for new yard this autumn. |

11st 2lb |
Won maiden hurdle for Ben Pauling 14 months ago and was placed over fences for him this summer but is far too inconsistent to rely upon and was a tailed-off outsider (over fences) on recent stable debut; cheekpieces refitted. |

Only shown a modest level of form over hurdles and hasn't really improved in two starts for new stable since switched to fences, albeit last month's Worcester run was more encouraging; others appeal more. |

10st 11lb |
Out of a well-connected dam and has shown promise on both hurdling starts, more recently when fifth of 12 at Ludlow (2m, soft) last month; needs today's longer trip to unlock improvement, though. |

8th Oct 2023 Soft 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Modest maiden on the Flat (runner-up twice over 1m4f/1m5f) who accomplished little in his three runs over hurdles (first two were for Polly Gundry); absent 232 days before latest; handicap debut in this sphere comes off a basement mark. |

Twice runner-up (1m4f and 1m5f) off basement Flat marks last summer for Micky Hammond; 100-1, beaten 53l in novice hurdle at Exeter (2m, heavy) on debut for new connections and best watched despite now having tongue tied. |

16th Jul 2025 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
All the fences up the home straight were omitted when he narrowly made all in a first-time tongue-tie over 3m here in May (good); found wanting back here a month ago but could still go well if back on song. |

14th Jun 2025 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Gamely made all to open account over C&D (good; first-time tongue-tie) six weeks ago, his third start over fences; might improve again but several fences were omitted in that rather unsatisfactory race, and he'll have something to prove if the ground is slower than good today. |

0-10 under rules; tailed off on chase debut but that was over 2m3f and upped to 3m1f at Hereford he ran well from the front; good chance off an untouched mark; now tongue tied. |

Became disappointing on the Flat for David Menuisier last year and did not convince with his jumping when safely held in two novice hurdles for Oliver Sherwood this summer; now with another new stable; needs to learn to settle much better. |

Became disappointing on the Flat for David Menuisier last year and didn't convince with his jumping when well-held fifth of six on last month's stable/hurdle debut; entitled to have learned from that experience but others look safer here. |
