7th Sep 2023 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
10yo who has done well since switched back to hurdling and she made it three wins from her last four starts when scoring at Market Rasen (2m7f, good to soft) last month; up 5lb but she won going away last time and still looks on a workable mark; shortlisted. |

6th Aug 2023 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won two in a row at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last autumn and she didn't run badly here (2m4f, good to soft) a fortnight ago when returning from some time off; could build on that latest performance; showed promise early in career on sole encounter with soft ground. |

Reverted to hurdling with back-to-back wins in Class 5 handicaps at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in the autumn; still well handicapped on older form but 252-day absence may have checked her momentum. |

19th Jul 2023 Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
14-race maiden who has threatened a breakthrough win but doesn't appear to be improving; beaten 12l in the new visor last time at Worcester (2m4f) and this longer trip isn't sure to benefit. |

28th Jun 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Maiden; runner-up four times over hurdles and similar efforts in two chase attempts at Huntingdon at the end of last month; visor probably needs to provoke some improvement if he's to win this; often well backed. |

Five out of seven hurdles wins have been recorded in the month of June; mark and trip fine, but although once a winner after 151 days out his record following an absence is a bit mixed overall. |

Several flights were omitted when winning at Market Rasen (2m7f, good; visor refitted) but consistent in the main and perhaps needs further than the 2m4f he ran over last time; not ruled out. |

Enjoyed a revival when fitted with cheekpieces towards end of last year, winning by wide margin at Southwell (2m, good) before creditable seconds at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) and Cheltenham (2m4f, good); major player if returning from two-month break in similar form. |

Only about 9l off the pace before last-flight mishap on handicap debut in March and positives can also be drawn from last month's reappearance run; needs to improve here but that's possible if the move up from 2m4f suits. |
