7th Oct 2022 Good 2m 0f 11y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Multiple winner on the Flat and over hurdles, enhancing her strike-rate in this scene to 9-25 with a fairly cosy success under Peter Kavanagh at Plumpton (2m, good) 19 days ago; only 3lb higher for this but it looks a stronger contest; still commands respect. |

16th Jun 2023 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Hat-trick last spring but not in that level of form so far this year; well held at Fakenham latest and due to go down 4lb in future; often front-runs but Pak Army a rival for that role. |

4th Jun 2023 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
A win in this race last season was the middle leg of a hat-trick and he's fully 14lb lower than when last successful; however, this 12yo has struggled to get competitive this year and a major turnaround is needed. |

10st 2lb |
Versatile ground-wise; multiple wins for yard include a 2m handicap on the Flat at Chepstow in April 2022 but his latest win was over hurdles that May and he hasn't shone so far this year; others more obvious. |

1st Feb 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Refused to race at Wincanton in October so not without risk; won at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good) last August and returned to form with 11l third under Anna Johnston at Wincanton (1m7f, soft) in December; the winner aside, that latest form is working out well and he could be thereabouts down 2lb. |

Quite useful dual-purpose horse in his prime but out of form on the Flat and over hurdles last year; needs to have been revitalised by 169-day break. |

10st 13lb |
Three-time Flat winner who has tumbled down the weights; some fair hurdle form in 2023 but he's struggled on his three outings this year (one on the Flat) and a major turnaround is needed in a first-time tongue-tie. |

10st 2lb |
Dual C&D winner (soft/good) but not since December 2022, and is very inconsistent nowadays; tailed off at Stratford on latest outing in early July; 1lb wrong today; others have more pressing claims. |

1st Jul 2025 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |

Placed over hurdles in February and there was nothing wrong with his sixth at Warwick (2m3f, good) in April; has undergone wind surgery since finishing a distant last of ten back on the Flat in May but others have more pressing claims. |
