18th May 2024 Good 1m 6f 115y Class 4 |
9st 2lb |
A fairly useful 1m6f winner for James Ferguson in 2022 but he's failed to beat a rival in three runs for his current yard, last of five over 1m4f here 16 days ago; others appeal more. |

19th Oct 2022 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Very capable on the Flat at one stage but not so good these days and was a well-beaten fifth on his hurdling debut here (2m4f, good) last month; much more required stepped up in trip. |

26th Oct 2024 Good 2m 0f 51y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Six-time Flat winner at up to 1m4f; underwent breathing operation before going hurdling for current yard and has now had another, having underperformed in handicap on this course in September; new headgear combination today. |
16/1 |

8th 2 |
18th Sep 2024 Good 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Won five Flat races at up to 1m4f for the Johnstons (latest win for Anthony Charlton was on snow); had wind surgery before running two creditable races over hurdles this summer, last time finishing third in a maiden at Perth (2m, good; pulled quite hard); interesting on handicap debut. |
4/1 |

3rd 4 |
17th Aug 2024 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Multiple Flat winner at up to 12.5f (stays 1m6f; RPR 90); not without support when 15-2 on his hurdling debut at Cartmel (2m1f, soft; first-time tongue-tie) last month, when unable to get in a serious blow; no surprise if he shows improvement. |

30th Apr 2023 Good 1m 4f 104y Class 4 |
9st 8lb |
Patchy form over hurdles this year but he was fourth of seven in a Grade 2 4yo hurdle at Cheltenham in January, and he's on a competitive mark on his best Irish Flat form; respectable run when 10l second of six in a 1m4f AW novice three weeks ago and he's not ruled out. |
13/2 |
|
2nd 2 (4) |
10th Apr 2023 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Runner-up twice from six starts on turf in Ireland last year and has run some creditable races over hurdles for this yard, albeit beaten out of sight in the Triumph Hurdle last time; likely to find a few of these more progressive on AW debut. |
8/1 |
|
13th 1 |
17th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Fairly useful maiden on his day on Flat, best form 1m4f on soft; had gelding and wind operations afterwards; third at Ludlow on hurdles/stable debut and much better form when 12l fourth of seven in Grade 2 here (2m1f, soft) next time; however, lots to find on that form, whereas he was a flop when favourite at Market Rasen on latest outing. |

9th Aug 2023 Soft 1m 6f 17y Class 6 |
11st 1lb |
Made all in a small field here last summer (11.5f, good to firm) off an 11lb higher mark; record this season is patchy at best but this is a weak race and a revival wouldn't be out of the question; new headgear on. |
6/1 |

1st Aug 2023 Good To Firm 1m 2f 23y Class 6 |
9st 13lb |
Had plenty in his favour when well backed on his comeback here in May, but bombed and has run poorly since, including a few times over hurdles; has it all to prove now. |
