12th Oct 2022 Good 2m 3f 85y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Much improved since fitted with cheekpieces in the summer, completing hat-trick at Market Rasen (2m3f, good); beaten 8l by sole rival at Stratford last time but the winner boosted the form by following up; has risen in the weights but has solid credentials. |

17th Jan 2023 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Winner of bumper, hurdle and chase; then successful on second Flat start last December, beating rival whose form has substance in 1m4f Tapeta maiden; 1m was never going to be enough of a test last time and better is expected switched to handicap company here. |

12th Dec 2022 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Fair bumper/hurdle/chase winner who ran well to finish fourth in a handicap hurdle at Cheltenham (3m, good) last month; this 5yo is a solid operator over jumps but he struggled over C&D in his only previous Flat run last April and has a useful standard to aim at back in this sphere. |

8th Mar 2023 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
1-8 over fences, the win gained from the front in three-runner handicap at Worcester (2m, good) last June; plenty of better form and last month's Uttoxeter third (never nearer) was an encouraging return from 198 days off; usually seen over shorter but probably stays well enough to have big shout. |

3rd 2 |
11th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 214y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
1-7 over fences, the win gained from the front in three-runner handicap at Worcester (2m, good) last June; not seen since last summer and other in this line-up have more potential. |
