7th May 2024 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Course regular who's struggled in recent times, coming more than a stone down the weights in the past six months; is hard to recommend on recent efforts running from 9lb out of the handicap. |

Well suited by Hereford and defied higher marks twice here in February 2023; inconsistent since but this may prove one of his better days, with Sam Twiston-Davies up for first time; interesting. |

17th Aug 2024 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |

Very well handicapped on exploits for previous stable but has yet to run a race of any great note for current yard; lots to prove right now. |

Ex-Oliver Greenall; wasn't in the best of form when last seen out (on unsuitable soft ground) late last year; can do better on this ground particularly as 14lb lower than for last win (2m4f on good to firm at Ludlow in 2022). |

10st 4lb |
Battled on well to score off 5lb higher at Hereford (3m1f, good) in March 2024 and is also suited by this C&D but has performed poorly on all four appearances since last June and needs to turn a corner. |

midfield, some headway before 3 out, outpaced before 2 out, stayed on and went third run-in |

6th Sep 2023 Good 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Hasn't been seen since February but last October's Stratford close second (off this mark) came after two years away; appears to stay 3m but both wins at shorter and this isn't the track for those with suspect stamina. |

9th Feb 2023 Good 2m 7f 214y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
2m4f course winner who returned from a long absence with a good second at Stratford (extended 2m6f, good) in October; below par next time and he's since unseated (six out) over this C&D, but he was going okay at the time and is not ruled out in first-time cheekpieces. |

11st 6lb |
Course winner in 2022 and 2023 at up to an extended 2m3f (soft); weighted to strike again at present, but goes 3f further than ever before today without shaping of late as in urgent need of a stayers' trip. |

Won gamely from the front here (2m3f, soft) last November and is back on the same mark now, but looked badly out of sorts on the Flat/over fences when last seen in June/July. |

31st Oct 2022 Good 2m 3f 164y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
A first chase win since June 2019 (fourth in all) when responding well for pressure on his return to fences at Southwell (2m4f, good); no guarantees that he'll be as good again but a 3lb rise is very fair. |

27th Sep 2022 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |

prominent, ridden 2 out, pressed leader last, kept on run-in, led final stride (trainer said, regarding the apparent improvement in form, that gelding had benefited from dropping back in trip and a return to chasing) |
