11st 9lb |
Grade 1 novices' chase winner in his prime; no trip/ground issues, but 21lb descent since pulling up in the Rowland Meyrick says plenty about a pretty poor 2022-23 season, including dropped to Class 3 latest. |

10th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Smart in his prime but has become disappointing this season; will find this much easier than Cheltenham Festival handicap hurdle he contested last month but he was never competitive there and now switches back to chasing with some questions to answer. |

15th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 1 |
12st 0lb |
Won two handicap hurdles (3m/3m1f) last season, the first at this track and the second off today's mark; failed to shine this term in a Grade 2 hurdle race and three handicap chases, having a wind operation before penultimate start and trying blinkers (now discarded) on latest; no ground worries but unraced over this short for over two years and he's unreliable. |

4th Mar 2023 Good 3m 2f 1y Class 2 |
10st 12lb |
Won Grade 1 novice chase at Sandown (2m4f, heavy) in February 2021 and two handicap hurdles (3m/3m1f, one on good) last season; below form in a Grade 2 hurdle race on reappearance this term and he did little in two Grade 3 handicap chases since; had a resurgence after his 2021 wind operation but the same did not happen following the further wind operation before latest start; well handicapped but five of his six chase displays are very discouraging and blinkers are now enlisted. |
11/1 |
