27th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
Ex-Irish 7yo who readily drew clear to win in lower-grade company here (2m5f, good) in June, his fifth start for Gary Hanmer; also ran well at Cartmel last month and ought to be in the thick of things again. |

20th Jul 2024 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Bumper/hurdle/chase winner in Ireland; mixed record under both codes for current yard but he returned to form with a stylish win over fences at Stratford (2m5f, good) last month; back up 7lb in the weights but that was a personal best last time and he still looks feasibly treated. |

Bumper/hurdle/chase winner in Ireland; down the field in two 1m4f novices on the AW before finishing fifth and sixth in a pair of handicap hurdles at about 2m; reservations for now. |

15th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
A dual C&D scorer but she arrives out of sorts and was pulled up in 3m1f handicap at Hereford in December; others appeal more. |

21st Dec 2024 Good To Soft 3m 1f 44y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
On a good mark now and her second at Stratford (2m3f, good to soft) this summer confirmed she retains significant ability; however, she was soundly beaten on her latest outing and all of her British wins were gained at around 2m4f on genuine good ground. |

19th Sep 2025 Soft 2m 5f 122y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Front-runner who posted some good efforts over hurdles and fences for Neil King in second half of last year, including a second in this race; makes debut for Ben Pauling after eight-month break but will be a danger to all off current mark if fully tuned up. |
4/1 |

17th Jan 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 89y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
Front-runner; looked a non-stayer over 3m at Doncaster last month but his close second there (2m3f, good) two starts ago was a good effort and he'll be fine on this right-handed track; no surprise if he give this a good shot. |

12st 0lb |
Versaatile 10yo with 15 wins on his CV; not firing on all cylinders this season, the last twice over fences, but has dropped to a dangerous hurdle mark and will appreciate this ease in grade. |

27th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
5-9 over fences, the latest win gained in very strongly run race at Cartmel (2m1f, good) in May; well down the field in two competitive contests since but in calmer waters today and has a fighting chance if back on song. |
5/1 |

20th Jul 2024 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 1 |
12st 0lb |
Flat background; made a successful return to fences (fifth win in this discipline) at Cartmel (2m1f, good) and didn't give himself a chance at Uttoxeter by racing too freely; wouldn't be a certain stayer over this far. |
12/1 |

30th Jun 2024 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 2 |
11st 12lb |
Returned from break with two low-key Flat runs this year but came from behind to win Cartmel chase (2m1f, good) comfortably by 6l when back over jumps last month; was probably flattered by the way that very strongly run race panned out but is now 5-7 over fences (including a C&D win). |
