12th Nov 2023 Soft 2m 3f 173y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
The best of his soft-ground runs was in a bumper; Taunton novice winner last November; hasn't always looked the easiest and he hung badly when tailed off on final start last term; back with a creditable second when tongue tied at Wincanton last month but needs a career best. |

Taunton novice winner last November and probably ran to similar level when third at Sandown latest; doesn't look entirely straightforward and probably needs some improvement if he's to win on handicap debut. |

Won Listed bumper for Paul Nicholls in 2021 and was 2-5 in novice hurdles for him last season but made very underwhelming stable/handicap debut when last of three in Newton Abbot chase (2m, soft) last month and needs to have taken significant benefit from that outing. |

29th Nov 2023 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Came good over hurdles with two wins in novice company in May (2m5f/2m4f) but struggled when back in a handicap here (2m) three weeks ago and needs to put that performance behind her. |

6th Nov 2023 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |

Beat the same subsequent winner in 2m4f/2m5f non-handicap hurdles for mares back in May but she finished tailed off at Ludlow last month; went close in a handicap in April but she was 16lb lower then. |
14/1 |

11th Oct 2023 Good 2m 5f 55y Class 4 |

Off the mark over hurdles at sixth attempt, with clearcut C&D maiden win (good to soft) in May, and followed up in Uttoxeter novice (2m4f, good) later that month; takes on males and faces a tougher assignment today but ought to give another good account. |

Has not really progressed in five runs over hurdles and was beaten 21l when runner-up in a Newton Abbot handicap (2m1f, soft; tongue-tie added) last time; same mark here and he needs improvement back up in trip. |

Low-mileage 6yo for whom the recently added tongue-tie seems to be working; ran well behind one completing a hat-trick at Leicester (2m4f, good to soft) and must have every chance if seeing out this longer trip. |

30th Aug 2023 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Maiden; close fourth over hurdles at Worcester (2m4f) last month but not as good at Perth latest; stamina to prove at this trip on chasing debut but possibly worth a market glance. |

2nd Aug 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |

Finished tired when upped to 3m for handicap debut in May but was very respectable fourth when dropped back to 2m4f at Worcester (good) last month and still has low mileage; tongue-tie added today; shortlisted. |

Maiden; attracted support on handicap debut at Ludlow in May (in cheekpieces for first time) but didn't appear to stay 3m; could be more of a force at this trip and yard back among the winners. |

Only 4lb higher than for his heavy-ground win at Newton Abbot (2m1f) and he was good value for the 2.25l winning margin; no reason why he shouldn't be on the scene. |

8th Apr 2023 Heavy 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |

No impact in two handicap hurdles in recent months and fell when sent off at 25-1 on his Chepstow chase debut 16 days ago; still fairly early days but others arrive with more pressing claims. |

23rd Mar 2023 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |

Beaten 37l when upped to 2m7f for last month's handicap hurdle debut and got only 1l closer to the target when fitted with cheekpieces this month (3m); sports blinkers for today's chasing debut; needs a big step forward. |

Well held in two points and beaten at least 30l in all four starts over hurdles, the latest on handicap debut at Lingfield (28-1) when upped from 2m to 2m7f; wore a hood on first three starts over hurdles, nothing on latest start but now sports cheekpieces. |

Triple-figure prices in maiden/novice hurdles and has trailed home in all of them; represents a leading yard, though, and is now tongue tied for her handicap debut; any market move would be encouraging. |

13th May 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Well beaten after racing too freely on handicap debut but is 2-2 since switching to front-running role, the latter win gained at Huntingdon (2m4f, soft) last month; still has some quirks to be ironed out but open to more progress and both wins under Tristan Durrell; big player. |
