16th Nov 2024 Good 2m 7f 208y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
Ran well in two of his four handicap hurdles last term; has contested five chases since June, getting the hang of it the last twice and winning at Wetherby (3m, good) latest; 9lb higher on this return to hurdles but one to consider. |

2nd Nov 2024 Good 3m 0f 45y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Well handicapped on last season's hurdling form; well beaten on first three chase starts and there's a slight doubt about his stamina today, but he took a big step in the right direction when going close at Ludlow (2m4f, good) last time and could play a leading role if seeing out the trip. |

11th May 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Made disappointing start to chasing career in 2022-23 season (two attempts); returned from layoff with pleasing second in Class 3 handicap hurdle at Wincanton (2m4f, soft; also suited by good) in November but was safely held on only other appearance last season and it's hard to know what to expect from him as he begins his second spell over fences |

27th Jan 2024 Good 2m 3f 88y Class 2 |

Chasing didn't go to plan last season and he was a mid-race faller when returned to hurdling in the spring but his reappearance second at Wincanton (2m4f, soft) in November was very encouraging and his current mark ought to be workable; shortlisted. |

8th Jan 2024 Soft 2m 3f 1y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Triple hurdle winner last season (twice here); ran very poorly on the Flat in October, after a break, but was very respectable third when back over hurdles at Wincanton (2m4f, soft; first-time cheekpieces) in November; seemingly overlooked by Harry Cobden today but still enters calculations. |

18th Oct 2023 Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
10st 3lb |
5yo who made it 3-5 over hurdles when completing a hat-trick in Ludlow handicap (2m, soft) in March; pulled up in final run in the spring but he's on a dangerous mark on this return to the Flat and is still unexposed in this sphere; interesting contender for yard that won this in 2018 and 2020. |

26th Jul 2024 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Dual 2m4f hurdle winner on good in summer 2022 (once here); looked likely winner before running out in race won by Townhill at Plumpton (3m1f, good) in April and is now 10lb better off with that rival; also every chance before last-flight fall at Worcester (2m7f, good; first-time cheekpieces) this month; still on a workable mark; player if avoiding mishaps this time. |

15th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 4m 2f 8y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Up in class and up in trip (by some way) having never gone beyond an extended 3m; however, he's got low mileage as a chaser and won eased down last time at Carlisle (good to soft); handicapper saw fit to raise him 9lb for that but if his stamina reserves can stretch this far then he might not be far away. |

17th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Four-time hurdle winner (heavy/good to soft; including here) who scored at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) a fortnight ago on his third chase start; led close home having been outpaced and today's stiffer test should be right up his street; firmly in calculations up 4lb. |

31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Some good runs in plating hurdles in the spring but soundly beaten back in handicaps on his last four starts, most recently when reverting to fences; lots to prove. |

24th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Won a selling hurdle for James Owen in March but was safely held in two handicap hurdles for new stable last month (2m/2m4f) and needs to raise his game on this first chasing start since January 2024. |

Smart hurdler/chaser in his prime but without a win since September 2022 and looked out of sorts on latest outing in September; current ability tricky to gauge. |
