6th Sep 2024 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Signed off for Fergal O'Brien with two wins last autumn (2m4f/2m) but has not made any further progress for current stable, albeit this year's four runs have all been respectable; others have more pressing claims. |

Two wins for Fergal O'Brien last autumn (2m4f/2m, good/good to soft); some fair runs for present yard, notably when third at Hexham in May (2m, good); soft going a concern. |

9th Nov 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 212y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Four-time hurdle winner (2m-2m4f); ran quite well when fourth at Plumpton (2m4f, good) in September and probably didn't get the trip when below that form over 3m last month, but his sole chasing attempt in 2022 did not go well (jumped poorly, pulled up). |

15th Oct 2023 Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Four-time hurdle winner at up to 2m4f; good effort when fourth of 12 at Southwell (2m4f, good) three weeks ago and is suited by slow ground but today's test may tax his stamina; refitted cheekpieces replace visor. |
7/1 |

24th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 114y Class 5 |

Twice placed during July at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft), a course he always runs well; does have form elsewhere and has won over this longer trip, so brings fairly solid credentials. |

Looked out of sorts when pulled up on last two hurdling starts but won race this race under Sean Bowen a year ago (good ground) and is only 1lb higher today; contender if perked up by headgear switch. |

9th Jun 2025 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |

Only 3l away at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good) but was pulled up over nearly 3m at Uttoxeter; didn't appear to stay but goes again at about 3m with a tongue-tie added; 4lb out of the weights. |

Doubled his hurdling tally at Worcester (2m4f, good) in July and is now only 2lb above that mark but has become inconsistent this year and others in this line-up appeal more. |

24th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 114y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Would have won easier at Worcester (2m4f, good) but for some premature easing on the run-in but he went out like a light next time at Uttoxeter; usually consistent in the main and could bounce back from that. |

30th Aug 2023 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |

Generally consistent and gained a second hurdle success when overcoming premature easing at Worcester last month; 4lb higher and this looks potentially more competitive but he has to be considered again. |

Early summer has always tended to be her time of year but she's regressed in recent times, is into the veteran stage and entitled to need this after seven months off; others hold more pressing claims. |

11st 7lb |
Landed his third success over fences at Plumpton (2m1f, soft) in February; shaped as if his stamina gave out when third of five finishers here (2m4f, good to soft) last month; may be worth another chance back in trip on better ground. |
4/1 |

1st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 189y Class 3 |

Justified favouritism at Plumpton (soft) dropped back to 2m1f last time, building on a solid Haydock effort and taking chase record to 3-8; versatile and steadily progressive sort who gained his other wins over 2m4f/2m5f on good ground; respected. |

Seven runs over fences have produced two wins and as many seconds; bumped into a progressive rival last time at Haydock (2m4f, good to soft) and should have a part to play. |

11st 9lb |
Kept on resolutely to open hurdling account at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in July, his third start for Richard Newland; only 1lb higher now but form has dipped alarmingly since; headgear switched in bid to perk him up. |

Ground it out at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in July on his third run back from a long absence and it could be that Cartmel never suited a month ago; only 4lb higher than for that recent win, but others may have more up their sleeves. |

28th Aug 2023 Soft 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |

Third start back from a long absence when scoring over 2m4f at Uttoxeter last month; form of that race might be suspect but he may well be capable of better and he's only 4lb higher; acts on soft and in the shake-up. |
