15th Feb 2023 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Well beaten over hurdles last month but had proved consistent in chases before that; Stratford winner in October, off just 1lb lower; ground to make up with Lightonthewing on their Exeter running six weeks ago but ought to be involved if he stays this trip. |

Has shown consistent form over fences since last March, including a Stratford win (2m6f, good); scored over this C&D (good to soft) on last attempt over hurdles; now only 2lb higher; not dismissed. |

Came good over fences with hard-fought success on seasonal debut at Stratford (2m6f, good) in October; not quite in same form when beaten favourite at Taunton the following month but ought to cope with today's slower ground and has less to prove than some. |

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. |

13th May 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Came good over fences at seventh attempt, beating three rivals at Leicester (2m6f, good to firm) in December; that form isn't anything to get excited about, though, and he was safely held when last seen on Boxing Day. |

Ran well over C&D in May; off the mark at the 13th attempt with a game win at Leicester this month (2m6f, good to firm; well backed); wouldn't want soft ground but a 4lb rise shouldn't prevent a prominent run. |

0-10 over hurdles; all three chase wins over 2m7f at Newcastle, most recently in November 2022; lightly raced since and out of form last term but a stirrup leather broke when she unseated at the first on latest outing, when 8-1 and first-time blinkers replaced cheekpieces. |

midfield, headway 4th, mistake 12th, soon ridden, weakened after 3 out, behind when pulled up before last (trainer's rep said, regarding the poor form shown, that the gelding was unsuited by the going and would prefer a quicker surface, which was noted; vet said a post-race examination failed to reveal any abnormalities) |

5th Jun 2024 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Both chase wins have come on good ground here, over 2m and 3m2f; however, doesn't return in much form and his second two runs back amounts to precious little; 4lb out of the weights. |

Both chase wins have come on good ground at Newton Abbot, over 2m and 3m2f; 4lb out of the weights here but he was even worse off when a remote second on his return from a break at Fakenham; difficult to know what form he's in at the minute. |

Remains winless over hurdles and fences and he returns from 13 months off with enough to prove; it's easy to look elsewhere. |
