21st Apr 2023 Good 2m 1f 109y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Having only his second run over fences when a clearcut winner over C&D last October; shown nothing since then but he's not on a bad mark if wind surgery has done the trick. |

11st 9lb |
Built on some promise from his chasing debut to break his duck at the second attempt, at Exeter (2m1f, good to firm) last October, when 5lb lower; well below par in two starts at Ludlow (both 2m, sound surface) since; returns after having had wind surgery for a second time. |

11st 6lb |
Mixed bag in three chasing efforts; lacked fluency on debut but showed the benefit of that when winning in good style at Exeter in October; hot favourite at Ludlow since but jumping let him down again; strong claims on the winning display and perhaps the return to a stiff track can help. |

10st 2lb |
0-9 over fences and 0-19 overall; ran well from the front when second here (2m2f, good) in December, but is effectively 5lb higher from further out of the weights today and returns here after a 63l defeat last month. |

Looks a modest maiden but has proved generally consistent over fences, most recently second at Taunton in the race that Folly Gate would have probably won but for unseating; could go well again. |

10st 7lb |
Wearing a first-time tongue-tie when winning over fences at Stratford in August but not a lot since (in just cheekpieces last three runs), with his third here last month a remote one; he has at least won over hurdles. |

31st Oct 2022 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Got back in the groove with a tongue-tie added when scoring over fences at Stratford (2m1f, good) in August but he's not come close to that form in four runs since; back on last winning mark now but was beaten 23l at Exeter last time and he needs a major upturn in form. |

Placed on first start over hurdles at Stratford (2m2f, good to soft) in October 2021 but generally poor since, including when beaten 45l (fifth of seven) on seasonal reappearance at Exeter; 5lb lower in first-time blinkers. |

10st 10lb |
Point winner but 0-15 under rules; ran well when second over fences in September but little since; hard to have great faith but drop in trip probably a good move; stable also runs Baliyad. |

21st Nov 2022 Good 2m 7f 174y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Won a point but he's 0-7 over hurdles and 0-6 as a chaser; ran quite well in a Bangor handicap chase in September but has not shown a lot since, latterly on his return to hurdles. |

2nd Nov 2022 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |

Plenty of form in points; hard to know what he achieved when behind an easy winner in a Bangor handicap chase and he then pulled up at Exeter after jumping moderately; 0-6 as a hurdler and never placed. |
