10th Nov 2023 Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Made it 2-3 over hurdles when winning in a first-time visor (retained) on handicap debut at Haydock (3m, soft) in March; this very lightly raced point winner could have more to offer now switched to fences and he reappears with his trainer among the winners; firmly in calculations. |

22nd Mar 2023 Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won an Irish maiden point (3m, yielding to soft) in November 2021 and stayed on well to score on rules debut at Ffos Las (2m4f, soft) last November; turned over when 5-6 in novice at Catterick (3m1f, heavy) in January but he kept on and it was probably better form; visored first time; should bring potential to this handicap debut. |

7th Nov 2023 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Runner-up on chasing debut in France in January 2022 and made promising British debut when back over hurdles last November; both subsequent hurdle runs last season were a shade disappointing but he remains unexposed. |

19th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |

Ex-French 5yo; twice raced in Britain, keeping on for second over 2m4f at Ffos Las then looking a non-stayer over 3m1f at Hereford (both on soft ground); this 2m7f trip may prove just the right fit; shortlisted. |

1st Dec 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 52y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
Placed in two maiden hurdles on soft before winning one at Bangor (2m3f, good to soft) in March, prevailing in a good scrap with the front two drawing 21l clear; 7-2, tongue tied when good second of 11 in novice handicap at Ascot (2m3f, soft) four weeks ago, always close up and front two clear; up 6lb but looks set for further progress and well worth a go at this trip. |

4th Nov 2023 Soft 2m 3f 58y Class 4 |

Placed in two maiden hurdles on soft before winning one at Bangor (2m3f, good to soft) in March; prevailed in a good scrap that day, with the front two drawing 21l clear; tongue tied today; could have good opening mark. |

Placed on both hurdling starts, more recently when close second to useful rival at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) in January; sets the form standard here; good chance. |

12th Nov 2023 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Five-race maiden; not disgraced in a couple of 3m handicaps here this season, while shaping as if this drop back in distance will suit; open to improvement and has possibilities. |
6/1 |

15th Oct 2023 Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Finished tired and was beaten about 22l when third over C&D (soft) on handicap debut in May; remains unexposed but subsequent 2lb drop is not enough to tempt on this first run for five months. |
10/1 |

3rd 8 |
9th May 2023 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Not much to recommend him at first glance on what he's achieved in qualifying runs but his dam was quite a useful staying chaser in Ireland (never ran over hurdles) and there must be a chance he'll fare better off this modest mark now handicapping with more of a test of stamina. |

Irish point winner; weakened over 2m4f on first two rules outings; suited by drop to 2m at Wetherby (soft-ground novice) last time, scoring comfortably; open to further progress; respected on handicap debut. |

10st 5lb |
Pulled-up when 100-1 for Ffos Las handicap (2m6f, heavy) last month and now 0-20 over hurdles; combination of faster ground and refitted blinkers may enable a better run here but she remains difficult to enthuse over. |

5th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 5f 192y Class 5 |

Placed in some low-grade handicap hurdles in Ireland but he's struggled in all three runs for current stable and is now 0-22 under rules; can only be watched after another absence. |

Three heavy defeats include one in a seller; blinkers applied for his handicap debut and has to rate as an unlikely winner. |

28th Feb 2023 Good To Firm 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Had little to beat when point winner last spring (good); well held in two hurdle completions on soft but this looks more his cup of tea, going handicapping over fences back on a sound surface; first-time aids fitted. |

23rd Jan 2023 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Good-ground point winner; needs to improve on what he's shown in two rules starts (latest on soft) and looks likely to be more interesting when switched to handicaps. |

21st Dec 2022 Soft 3m 1f 119y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Soundly beaten in two bumpers in early part of this season and pulled up when 80-1 for last month's hurdling debut at Ffos Las (2m4f; race in which Inflexible finished second). |

25th Nov 2022 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Didn't live up to market expectations in a bumper here on debut in May and was well held again at Worcester (both at 2m on good) in August; this stiffer stamina test could suit on hurdling debut but he needs to find plenty of progress after another break. |
20/1 |
