6th 6 |
1st Jan 2024 Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Very well handicapped on some of last year's placed form but returned from break with three below-par runs in the autumn and needs to turn a corner; won a heavy-ground hurdle in France in 2021 but may be best suited by good ground. |
16/1 |

14th Dec 2023 Soft 2m 7f 3y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Runner-up four times over fences at up to 2m5f during the spring/summer but below par in a hurdle race/chase at Wincanton since returning from a break; up in trip; others have less to prove. |

7th Dec 2023 Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Capable novice hurdler; is yet to win over fences, albeit has finished runner-up on four occasions (including over C&D); only sixth, behind Moytier (third), when reverting to fences here a fortnight ago; continues to ease in the weights. |

23rd Nov 2023 Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Tailed off over hurdles here last month but that was after a break and he finished runner-up in his last four chase runs during the spring/summer including a close call over C&D (good); looks interesting off dangerous mark back in this sphere and it would be a positive if the ground dries out. |

29th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 2m 5f 82y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Runner-up in February-June on his last four starts over fences, with a below-form hurdles run on heavy going interrupting that sequence; also bit to prove on soft; tongue tied last three starts but not today; well treated judged on 2021 hurdles form and on best of those chase efforts. |
9/1 |
