5th Jul 2023 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Four hurdle wins but was pulled up at Warwick five weeks ago, on return from a break (bled); has failed to finish either attempt over fences so plenty to prove for now. |

31st May 2023 Good To Firm 3m 2f 0y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Triple hurdle winner in 2022, the latest win gained from the front at Hereford (3m1f, good) in October; not seen since falling in a chase in January and competes off career-high mark here but has possibilities if fully tuned up; untested on ground quicker than good. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Scored twice over fences (around 3m) in March 2024; back from two years off in good nick, runner-up over 3m2f at Chepstow last month; can race off the same mark here so he's a player with Harry Cobden taking over. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 3m 2f 54y Class 3 |

Not an unlucky loser, but may have run Broomfields Cave closer at Wincanton latest without pecking two out (3m1f, good); respected now back on track, though notably remains winless around a galloping track. |

3rd 1 |
1st Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Completed a double over fences at Taunton (2m7f, soft) in March 2024 but he's returned from 690 days off with two underwhelming runs (hurdles/chase) this spring; looks well handicapped on his old form but he needs to raise his game on this drop back in trip. |

30th Dec 2022 Good 3m 2f 57y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Maiden; placed twice over hurdles for Ben Pauling and not beaten far at Hereford in October, on second start for this yard; wind surgery since and perhaps can find some more on chasing debut. |
14/1 |

5th 10 |
31st Oct 2022 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Competitive in 2m5f-3m handicaps for Ben Pauling last summer but after a lengthy absence he was laboured at Newton Abbot on stable debut in August; record now 0-12; needs to leave that latest form well behind. |

Back in prime form this season, winning three in a row under Tom Broughton at Southwell (3m, good); latest 5lb rise ought to be manageable and she makes very obvious appeal. |

1st 3 |
7th Sep 2023 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Has a record of 4-12 over hurdles and she's won under Tom Broughton over C&D (good) in her last two starts; has another 4lb rise to deal with after a short break but she's respected in her hat-trick bid. |

Runner-up over 2m7f at Worcester (good) four years ago but only two runs since and he's failed to complete in both; returns from another absence and this 11yo is 9lb out of the weights. |

31st Oct 2022 Good 3m 1f 119y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Finished runner-up in two staying handicaps (good) during the summer but those were small-field events and he was pulled up at Worcester last month; hurdle record now stands at 1-10 and he needs to bounce back near his best; tongue-tie added. |

25th Oct 2022 Good 2m 7f 7y Class 4 |

They were tiny fields in which he was twice runner-up during the summer and now has to bounce back from two quiet runs; tongue-tie could be a notable addition. |

9th Feb 2023 Good 2m 7f 214y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Well treated on hurdle form from May 2021 but he was then absent until December 2022, when tailed off, and he's since been pulled up on his chase debut at Wincanton; plenty to prove. |

Won a fast-ground point in May but he's struggled at big prices back over hurdles (2m7f/2m2f) in both runs for current yard; equipment is now added and he has a lot to prove. |

Disappointing in the last two of his three Irish points and he's achieved little in five runs under rules including three pulled-up efforts; now switches back to hurdling after break and can only be watched. |
