3rd Feb 2024 Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Something to prove having been pulled up at Newcastle (2m4f, soft) latest; however, his chase debut fifth at Carlisle (2m, good to soft) in December wasn't devoid of promise, when jumping to the left at that right-handed track, and this lightly raced 6yo is not written off now in cheekpieces. |

5th Jan 2024 Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Well handicapped on last season's hurdle form and he was a fair fourth on his chase debut here in November; however, he was disappointing when back over hurdles at Newcastle three weeks ago and the first-time tongue-tie needs to be the catalyst for a return to form. |

Some fair efforts earlier this year among his first few handicap hurdles (including on heavy), and likewise on last month's chase and seasonal debut; returns to hurdles on a reduced mark and could be involved. |

19th Jul 2025 Good To Soft 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Has 0-17 strike-rate overall but ran well in both the chases she contested, more recently when close third (just behind Couldbeaweapon) at Market Rasen (2m1f, soft) this month; no surprise if she features. |

6th Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Promising chase debut over 2m7f at Huntingdon (good), bang there when falling at the last; middling hurdle form since and the return to this short a trip raises questions back over fences; yard won this last year. |
8/1 |

27th Jun 2025 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |

An each-way case can be made on the odd bit of form but remains a maiden and she's 2lb out of the weights. |

10st 2lb |
Made a successful chasing debut at Southwell (3m2f) for Charles and Adam Pogson but off 14 months before being pulled up there for his new yard 24 days ago; blinkers are quickly reached for. |

jumped left on occasions, prominent, mistake and lost ground 6th, weakened before 15th, tailed off when pulled up after 4 out |

17th Dec 2023 Soft 3m 1f 185y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
First and third in good-ground handicap hurdles earlier this year before struggling under softer conditions; the ground is therefore a worry and he goes without the cheekpieces that were working well. |

30th Jun 2023 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Irish point winner; 4-1 for last month's chasing debut but tailed off behind Lights Are Green; might well do better with that experience behind him but obviously needs to. |

27th May 2023 Good 3m 1f 107y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Dead-heated in an Irish point in April last year; has shown very little in three novice hurdles, the latest after wins surgery; would barely warrant a glance on chasing/handicap debut but represents top team at the track so impossible to dismiss out of hand. |

26th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Pulled up/tailed off on his two hurdle starts; however, he won a point and was second in a bumper last year, and having had wind surgery since his last run it's possible he will return to form; not ruled out each-way. |

Won in first-time cheekpieces over 3m3f at Sedgefield in February but those aids are now missing after never going a yard at Hexham in April; 4lb out of the weights and others are safer. |
