16th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 216y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won over fences at Ludlow in November (2m, good to soft) but was well held at Hereford on his final run in that discipline and wasn't great back on the AW 19 days ago; has two wins to his name over hurdles but needs to get back on track. |

28th Jan 2023 Standard 1m 7f 218y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
Fairly useful form over fences in recent months, including a 2m Ludlow win in November; beaten a long way in three novice events on the Flat but his jumps ability suggests he could be competitive from a modest opening mark in this sphere. |

17th Sep 2024 Good 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Long in the tooth now and nothing like the force of old but proved he still has fire in his belly when close/clear second to Gallimimus over C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago. |
8/1 |
|
2nd 5 (5) |
2nd Sep 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Eight wins under both codes but he's been quiet on the Flat this year and has been beaten 10l or more over C&D in last two runs; continues to drop down the weights but this 11yo has plenty to prove. |

1st Mar 2023 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Won over hurdles in Ireland in 2021 but has struggled in British chases since the autumn (six runs) and is very difficult to enthuse over at present. |
50/1 |

7th 10 |
20th Feb 2023 Good 2m 7f 110y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Won over hurdles (3m, good) in Ireland in May 2021 but he's struggled over fences for new yard this season and he unseated early 14 days ago; now 1-23 and it's not hard to look elsewhere. |
25/1 |

6th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Won over hurdles in Ireland in spring 2021 but has struggled to get seriously competitive over fences for new stable this season (four runs), and the refitted cheekpieces didn't appear to help much last time. |

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. |
13/2 |

22nd Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 54y Class 5 |
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. |
8/1 |

4th 2 |
7th Dec 2022 Good To Firm 1m 7f 201y Class 5 |
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. |

20th Mar 2025 Good 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Ordinary mare who trailed home last of five finishers in similar event at Taunton (hunter chase debut) most recently; again faces a stiff task on the figures. |
40/1 |

18th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 7f 3y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Has won two handicap chases but off very modest marks and difficult to envisage her winning this, despite a respectable latest effort between the flags. |
50/1 |

6th 7 |
17th Aug 2024 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Both wins (one here) have been recorded at 2m2f-2m3f, but today's sort of trip may now be closer to optimum judged on this summer's evidence; back below her last winning mark and not ruled out; visor added. |

3rd Nov 2022 Good 1m 7f 212y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
French Flat winner but has shown little in six British starts, four over hurdles and twice back on the Flat recently; chasing debut and the 4yo allowance is negated by being 13lb out of the handicap; first time in these aids as a combination (has worn both separately). |
