16th Jun 2023 Good 2m 1f 162y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Can be considered on his two wins last autumn but hasn't found that form in a pair of starts this spring; last of four at Ffos Las 20 days ago and blinkers now fitted in an attempt to perk him up. |

21st Feb 2023 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Sole hurdle win at 2m2f in September; often competitive in defeat subsequently but has been going through a lean spell this year and was beaten a long way out over 2m4f at Uttoxeter ten days ago; others preferred. |

11th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Sole win (28 attempts) was in a 2m2f selling handicap last September; had a run of seconds over about 2m before his form dipped behind Maillot Blanc at Hereford (2m3f; soft ground a possible excuse) on penultimate start and fell two out at Wincanton on latest (looked beaten); competitive often enough to be considered. |

2nd Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 179y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Sole win (27 attempts) was in a 2m2f selling handicap last September; had a run of seconds over about 2m before his form dipped at Hereford (2m3f) on latest start but it's possible that soft ground was against him; stamina has not been proved. |

3rd Nov 2024 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Won off 3lb higher for Milton Harris 13 months ago (2m1f) but, following a spell with Sylvester Kirk, was well beaten on last month's stable debut (2m); has a lot to prove on this first venture beyond about 2m4f. |

10th Oct 2024 Good 2m 0f 161y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Now only 1lb higher than when scoring at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) for Milton Harris a year ago but both recent runs for Sylvester Kirk were disappointing and he needs to have been perked up by latest stable switch; cheekpieces refitted. |

Modest form in two minor handicap hurdles this year; not easily recommended back on the Flat. |

It's now 12 starts since his last success (2022) and he came in a below-par fifth of seven in 2m4f handicap at Leicester in November; others are preferred. |

14th Sep 2025 Heavy 1m 6f 0y Class 2 |
8st 2lb |
Veteran who is suited by this track and seems very versatile regarding trip/ground; soundly beaten over 2m1f here yesterday, though, and will probably find this race too competitive. |

13th Sep 2025 Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |

Veteran who is suited by this track and seems very versatile regarding trip/ground; yet to strike form this season, though, and needs to prove he still has what it takes. |

3rd Sep 2025 Good 1m 3f 137y Class 6 |

17th Nov 2022 Good 1m 7f 50y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
French Flat winner; best effort over hurdles when third in a Plumpton maiden event in April; well beaten in three handicaps since but might yet do better and market support would make him of interest. |

All three wins have come over 8.6f here, but losing run now up to 23 and finished behind a couple of these over C&D (first-time blinkers) a fortnight ago; others preferred. |

4th Mar 2023 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
This track brought out the best in him early in his career but he's been disappointing for his current yard and is hard to recommend despite a tumbling handicap mark. |

10st 2lb |
Tailed off on the Flat when last seen in the spring and previous hurdling efforts, up to May 2021, were modest; no win since 2019. |
