11st 1lb |
Badly out of form over hurdles this season and there didn't seem to be any positives from his switch to chasing for last three outings; wore tongue-tie (dispensed with now) and cheekpieces for latest; way down the weights. |

15th Jan 2023 Standard 1m 6f 21y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Formerly useful on the Flat for Mark Johnston but was very much emerging from the doldrums when winning over hurdles here last month; not so hot back on the Flat three weeks ago. |

26th Dec 2022 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Formerly useful on the Flat for Mark Johnston, but was very much emerging from the doldrums when winning over hurdles at Southwell 15 days ago; comes with risks attached, but is on a good mark if that latest success signals a general return to form. |
6/1 |

11th Dec 2022 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
travelled strongly, in touch with leaders, went third before 5th, went second and going best 2 out, shaken up and led approaching last, kept on, ridden out (trainer's rep said, regarding the apparent improvement in form, that gelding had come back into form on the Flat where he has run four times since his last hurdles run and appeared to transfer that improvement back over hurdles) |

3rd Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Two-time bumper winner who was runner-up in a 2m maiden hurdle at Worcester in May 2023; well below that form since returning from long absence in January, with his two handicap runs in April particularly disappointing, but the booking of Sean Bowen catches the eye here. |
