29th Apr 2023 Good 3m 4f 146y Class 1 |
10st 3lb |
Out of his depth in Grade 2 novice at Cheltenham Festival; 5-5 over rules fences otherwise, most recently beating Revels Hill by 1l at Exeter (3m6f, good to soft; pair well clear); highly progressive in handicaps, no ground worries, stays well and may not have reached his ceiling yet; shortlisted. |

26th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 3m 6f 153y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Bit off more than he could chew in the National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham but had been going great guns with four successive wins from 2m7f to 3m3f (three at Fontwell); this is nothing like so demanding as at the Festival but it's still a step up from the grade in which he was winning; respected nonetheless. |

14th Mar 2023 Soft 3m 5f 201y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Big improvement switched to chasing, with one win at Lingfield and three at Fontwell; 19l and 17l were the last two winning margins, the latest over 3m4f (good to soft) and he goes well in the mud; that handicap form leaves him with a lot to find but he's certainly been impressing at that much lower level. |

Stays 3m5f; three of four wins were on heavy, the other on soft; latest was in January 2021 and although runner-up in two of his three completions this term, he needs to bounce back from a modest show just before Christmas. |

31st Jan 2023 Soft 3m 1f 60y Class 5 |

No closer than 11l in three runs this season and his strike-rate of 1-43 is offputting; the win came in France. |

6th Apr 2023 Soft 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Two wins in 2019/20 but absent for nearly two years after the second of them and hasn't recovered his form; however, change of headgear offers hope (won in first-time cheekpieces); best if able to lead. |
12/1 |

9th 5 |
5th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Both chase wins from the front at about 3m, latest in February 2020; long absence before last season and well below form since; four wind operations in all, the fourth before latest start; hard to rely on. |

Both chase wins from the front, most recently over C&D three years ago; well below best since back from absence last January and has lots to prove after pulled up on Boxing Day; had further wind surgery since. |

Won over C&D (soft) last October but a bad experience in a desperate affair here on Boxing Day appears to have soured him and he showed nothing in final three runs last season; still 3lb higher than for last success and his overall record now stands at 1-23. |

17th Oct 2024 Good 3m 1f 30y Class 5 |

Three-time chase winner who returned to form from out of the blue with a second at Market Rasen (3m, good); softer ground would temper enthusiasm but fair chance otherwise. |

28th Sep 2024 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |

Scored twice over fences last season but he's yet to hit top form this time around, beating only one at Fontwell (3m2f) in June; others appeal more. |

29th Jan 2023 Good To Soft 2m 5f 135y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Regressive and inconsistent 10yo; proved he retains significant ability when second at Lingfield (2m6f, soft) in November but looked reluctant when pulled up there last month and it's hard to tell whether he'll warm to the task here. |
13/2 |

5th Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 7f 110y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
6-21 over fences but his latest win was over 2m7f on heavy ground here over hurdles last December; none too consistent but back down the weights and well capable of figuring prominently, as he showed when runner-up to Ramore Will here three weeks ago. |

13th Jun 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Inconsistent 9yo who gained only success in three-runner bumper in September 2021 for former trainer; makes stable debut following eight-month break and best watched for now. |

9th Oct 2023 Good 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Inconsistent 8yo who gained only career win in a three-runner bumper; now 6lb lower than when second over hurdles at Market Rasen (2m2f, good to soft) two months ago but ran very poorly when back over fences last month; cheekpieces tried today. |
6/1 |

Went the wrong way in his three chases in 2022 and his first run back this season was much better than the second (both over hurdles); bit to prove returned to this discipline. |

10th May 2023 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |

High-mileage 11yo who has looked out of sorts and been pulled up on all three starts this year; urgently needs to prove he still has what it takes; 2lb out of the weights. |

22nd Mar 2023 Good To Soft 3m 2f 0y Class 5 |

Ex-Irish 11yo who has been campaigned mostly over fences for current yard; pulled up the last twice; not disgraced on last attempt over hurdles but he's on a long losing run. |
