26th May 2025 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Four-time chase winner who is suited by good ground; out of form for Henry Oliver during the winter, but makes stable debut from a good mark and may have been refreshed by combination of new regime and 96-day break. |

A four-time chase winner who was in a good run of form last year but seems to have lost her way; was struggling when falling four out at Ludlow. |

16th Apr 2025 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
12st 7lb |
With new yard for last two outings and contributed to their recent good form with a C&D win (good to soft) from Another Lord ten days ago, with his usual tongue-tie removed; has 7lb penalty and a 7lb claimer is recruited; probably as good as ever but a bit more may be needed from him. |

Rather inconsistent for Tim Vaughan since Taunton win in 2022 and made low-key stable debut last month, but has possibilities in this lower grade if that recent outing brought him on. |

Not the force of old but running well at present and latest third over 3m3f here was in a higher grade; might find this trip shorter than ideal but should again be competitive. |

1st Jun 2024 Good To Soft 3m 3f 119y Class 3 |

Not as good as he was but doesn't arrive here in bad form and he should have finished closer (beaten 7l) last time at Southwell (3m, good); this is a higher grade but he has each-way hopes. |

11st 8lb |
Came clear to win a 3m1f soft-ground chase at Warwick in January (2lb lower; first-time cheekpieces) but it's all gone pear shaped in the meantime; perhaps another change of headgear will work the oracle but it's not hard to have doubts. |

Failed to complete last two races and her tendency to clout the occasional fence remains a worry but she looked good when winning in first-time cheekpieces at Warwick (3m1f, soft) in January and is probably still on a workable mark. |

24th Apr 2024 Good 3m 2f 57y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
Defied a similar mark in good fashion at Exeter 13 months ago (3m, good to soft; only four runs back); ran well for a long way on reappearance but was tired when pulled up again on heavy ground at Exeter 17 days ago; under these less demanding conditions she should go well if as good as she was. |

Returned to form with 6l C&D (good to soft) win just under a year ago and put in good front-running shift when fifth on heavy ground here on seasonal reappearance in January; one to consider. |

3rd Oct 2025 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Overall strike-rate of 1-28 and the win came over fences; 0-18 over hurdles and has to bounce back from some shoddy efforts; in cheekpieces and a visor for the last two and now goes in blinkers. |

21st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |

Has questions to answer after two disappointing runs in July but is very well suited by this C&D and competes off new career-low mark today; swaps cheekpieces for first-time visor; dangerous to ignore. |

25th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 71y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Seemingly boosted by changed of headgear when winning twice over hurdles last year (3m2f/3m1f, good to soft) but his two runs this year (chase/hurdle) have been below par and he needs to bounce back again. |

Went close over C&D in May but has become rather unreliable and latest third here was quite remote; still needs respecting in this bad a race. |

7th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |

Stayed on from the rear to go close off today's mark over C&D (good) in May but has poor strike-rate in recent years and is unreliable nowadays; chance probably depends upon what mood he's in. |

10st 2lb |
Both chase wins have come on good ground here, over 2m and 3m2f; however, doesn't return in much form and his second two runs back amounts to precious little; 4lb out of the weights. |

Both chase wins have come on good ground at Newton Abbot, over 2m and 3m2f; 4lb out of the weights here but he was even worse off when a remote second on his return from a break at Fakenham; difficult to know what form he's in at the minute. |
