15th Apr 2023 Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Made a good start over fences for Gary Moore with two wins at Lingfield in November (2m4f/2m); disappointing in next two runs but he got back on track with a second at Warwick (2m4f, soft) two weeks ago; was beaten just 2l behind an improver in that race and he's respected off unchanged mark. |

Not easy to win with (3-36), but is just 1lb higher than when winning at Pumpton (2m1f, good to soft) in January; should appreciate the return to fences and not ruled out entirely. |

Only win came over 2m at Lingfield and fair third over that C&D in November (some way behind /Shaw's Cross); effectiveness at this trip unproven. |

27th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Won off a lowly mark over hurdles in 2019 but is 0-17 over fences; remote when third at Plumpton (2m1f, good) this month and has stamina to prove today; 3lb out of the weights. |
25/1 |

9th Apr 2023 Good 2m 0f 214y Class 5 |

28th Dec 2022 Heavy 2m 4f 110y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Chase winner on very soft in France but out of luck for this yard in Britain despite the major drop in his handicap mark; down in class but his latest defeat came in a modest grade. |
12/1 |

7th 7 |
21st Dec 2022 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Won a 2m1f chase on testing ground in France in 2021; beaten too far in his eight British starts (five over hurdles, the three over fences) to be recommended at the moment but he is way down the weights. |
20/1 |

6th Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Won slow-ground chase in France last autumn (2m1f) but yet to be placed after seven British starts; not written off just yet but is 5lb out of the weights here and needs to turn a corner. |

2nd Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 5f 8y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Returned to form with front-running win at Chepstow (2m, soft) in January and gave another good account when third of 15 there (2m3f, soft) a fortnight ago, but has a lot more on his plate from 5lb out of the weights in this higher-grade race. |
25/1 |

3rd 9 |
19th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Made all to win a 2m handicap chase here in January (soft) off an 8lb lower mark; unable to lead and finished a remote third at Hereford eight days later; going back up in distance shouldn't be an issue but others are more appealing. |
