11th Mar 2023 Soft 1m 7f 216y Class 1 |
11st 4lb |
Has won all three of his completed races under rules, easily making all in C&D novice (good to soft) three weeks ago; lack of stamina might have been responsible for a poor run over 2m5f (heavy) at Warwick the time before; in deeper here but he may not have reached his ceiling just yet and he's one to consider on today's handicap debut. |

16th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 216y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Bubble was burst when favourite for Grade 2 at Warwick (eventually pulled up) last month, having been 3-3 previously, but perhaps something was slightly amiss and/or conditions (2m5f, heavy) played some part; has gained his hurdles wins at 2m/2m1f and may resume his progress back down in distance; holds two Grade 1 entries at Cheltenham; still of interest. |

14th Jan 2023 Heavy 2m 5f 0y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Winning pointer who had them well strung out in novices at Lingfield (2m, soft) and Fontwell (2m1f, good to soft), latterly defying a penalty by 5l with the second well clear of the remainder; faces a very different calibre of opposition this time but he's promising; won a point on soft/heavy. |

Below form when well-held third in Taunton maiden last month but began hurdling career with three promising 2m runs in late 2022 and remains open to improvement now upped in trip and switched to a handicap. |

1st 8 |
12th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Placed on last three of his four hurdling starts, looking suited by the step up to 2m4f when clear second in Ayr maiden (good to soft; first-time tongue-tie) on latest occasion; makes handicap debut here and features prominently in calculations. |
11/4 |
|
2nd 6 |
14th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 100y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Placed on the last two of his three hurdling starts, more recently when second here (2m, heavy) six weeks ago; likely to be right in the thick of things if also suited by today's trip-and-ground combination; tongue-tie added. |

66-1 when pulled up on his handicap debut and he's struggling to build any momentum; opposable despite this drop in grade. |

7th Mar 2023 Good 2m 3f 173y Class 4 |

Positives to take from his debut run but hasn't gone on from there and brings no momentum into handicaps. |

14th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Some promise when 150-1 fourth of 12 over C&D (soft) in November but was still beaten nearly a distance and has fared less well since; one for handicaps. |

10th May 2023 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Winning pointer; suffered dip in form after promising hurdle debut in November but was seemingly back on track when very respectable third on handicap debut at Sandown (2m4f, good to soft; first-time tongue-tie) in February; that form has been very well advertised by the front pair since; the one to beat. |

21st Dec 2022 Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Irish point winner (3m, yielding to soft) prior to joining current connections for £78,000; gave a pleasing account on Rules/hurdles debut at Chepstow (2m3f; good to soft; fourth of 14; 3-1) before struggling on soft ground at Lingfield (2m) subsequently; possibilities if bouncing back. |

12th Sep 2023 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Four Flat wins and landed a Plumpton handicap hurdle (2m1f, soft) in April; now finds himself 1lb lower after going off the boil of late. |
14/1 |
|
10th 6 |
19th Aug 2023 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
With one exception (didn't stay 3m) has held his form okay over hurdles since April's Plumpton success off today's mark (2m1.5f, soft); not without a chance, though poor Flat effort last month needs forgiving. |
16/1 |

Not seen on the Flat since down-the-field finish on AW in October but won over hurdles in April and has since been placed again in that sphere; can't be ignored off career-low Flat mark. |

Won a point-to-point bumper (2m, heavy) in March on second start; tailed off in a rules bumper at Exeter (2m, good to soft) nine days later but that run may have come too soon and he's not ruled out now over hurdles. |

5th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 199y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Short-headed last March on his fifth attempt at Irish maiden points; modest form in Britain this term, just 7-2 on latest start when switched from hurdles to fences for handicap at Catterick (1m7f); needs much better and goes back up in trip. |
12/1 |

4th 4 |
3rd Feb 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 145y Class 5 |

Well beaten in his three novice hurdles but begins handicap life off a lowly mark and went close in an Irish point last March, so could improve for this switch to fences; interesting candidate, especially if backed. |

0-6 over hurdles but has twice gone close over 3m1f here this spring (both times on soft ground) and gets another chance off the same mark today; major player if coping with today's drop back in trip. |

10th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |

21st Mar 2023 Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |
10st 5lb |
Beaten about 49l after racing too freely on last month's handicap debut at Lingfield (2m7f, good to soft); remains unexposed but clearly needs to produce a much better performance today. |

11th May 2023 Standard 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |

Came good for Simon Hodgson at fourth attempt, leading close home at Brighton (1m, good; visored) last month; raced too freely in first-time blinkers there last week but still ran well; has the visor refitted here and this drop back to 7f is an interesting move; might be the answer. |

All the better for this headgear combination and only narrowly failed in his hat-trick bid last time when third to Zillion; essentially 1lb lower with Connor Planas taking off 3lb; shortlisted. |

3rd 2 (11) |
19th Aug 2023 Good 1m 5f 11y Class 6 |

Turned things around in new headgear when scoring over C&D (good) last month and he followed up with another narrow win over 1m6f here last time; only 2lb higher than for that success and he remains very well treated on his old form; big player in hat-trick bid. |
