20th Jul 2024 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Made it 3-11 over hurdles when scoring at Warwick (2m5f, good) in May but he's been vulnerable as favourite in last two starts; drops back in grade after a respectable fifth at Worcester (beaten around 6l) two weeks ago but he needs to find more progress back in trip. |

5th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
3-10 over hurdles (2m-2m5f, good); improving 6yo who made a good start for this stable when a close fifth at Cheltenham (2m4f, good) in April and duly built on that when justifying favouritism at Warwick (2m5f) the following month, both times ridden by Megan Bevan; drop back to 2m shouldn't be too much of an issue and he's a big player off 4lb higher. |

Seemingly boosted by first-time cheekpieces when placed in Summer Plate at Market Rasen (2m5f, good) last year but looked out of sorts when pulled up twice in November and it's hard to predict whether this will be a going day. |

1st Nov 2025 Good 2m 7f 185y Class 1 |

Won the novice handicap chase on this card 12 months ago when also returning from a break; has pulled up in his two previous races over 3m but he wasn't stopping when tried in cheekpieces and finishing third in Market Rasen's 2m5f Summer Plate in July (just behind Courtland); there's stamina in his pedigree; considered. |

Rewarded a determined Sean Bowen ride when winning off reduced mark at Plumpton (3m1f, good) in the spring; still well handicapped on older form and unexposed at around 3m but others have more persuasive profiles. |

27th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Placed at Cheltenham (2m1f, good) in April, his second run for Sophie Leech, and not beaten far competitive Swinton Hurdle at Haydock (1m7f, good) the following month; safely held in both subsequent races but one was on heavy ground in France and the other was on the idiosyncratic track at Cartmel; on career-low mark here; dangerous to ignore. |

Placed at Cheltenham (2m1f, good) in April, his second run for Sophie Leech, and not beaten far in last month's competitive Swinton Hurdle at Haydock (1m7f, good); well held in France since and 2lb wrong here but he's versatile ground-wise and might be boosted by the new cheekpieces. |

Long absences are a feature in this 9yo's profile; kept on for fourth of 16 at Cheltenham (2m1f, good) on latest start, finishing just over 3l behind Big Boy Bobby; looks vulnerable off an untouched mark. |

Very useful chaser in his prime but last month's hurdling win at Fontwell (2m5f, good) came off a hugely reduced handicap mark and it's not easy to predict whether his revival will gather momentum. |

Returns from an absence of nearly three years, last seen winning in first-time blinkers at Killarney (2m4f, good) in July 2021 when trained by Denise Foster; changed hands for £16,000 two months later; no headgear today and probably best watched after such a long absence. |

Lightly raced 7yo who won a hurdle in France; useful form when runner-up on British debut in a Newbury hurdle in late 2021 but has achieved nothing in just four subsequent starts, the last two in points; has a lot to prove now. |
