25th Nov 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 167y Class 2 |
10st 6lb |
Second-season chaser who shaped better than the bare result here (behind Boothill and Saint Segal) on reappearance and should improve with the outing under his belt; scored twice last November then ran respectably over C&D in April; remains of interest. |

4th Nov 2023 Soft 2m 0f 167y Class 1 |
10st 5lb |
Below par in his final race when tried in a tongue-tie (retained) at Ayr in April but better judged on his progressive profile prior to that, in winning back-to-back handicaps at top tracks before finishing second over C&D after a break; only six and likely has plenty more to offer in races of this nature. |
6/1 |

22nd Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 110y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
Improving 6yo who won at Kempton (2m2f, good to soft) and Newbury (2m, good) in November and notched another personal best when second of nine at Ascot last time after a winter break; he's fresher than most and his yard laid one out for this race in 2019; big chance in first-time tongue-tie. |

11st 3lb |
Gamely made all in last season's Betfair Hurdle; kept to hurdles since, with mixed results; has form figures of 122 over fences, finishing 1l second to Boothill on much worse terms in Kempton Grade 2 on last attempt; fighting chance if that effort is repeated. |

Landed major Newbury prize in February but handicap mark suffered as a result; fair Plumpton effort sandwiched between heavy defeats in competitive contests when last seen in the spring; might have opposition up front on his first attempt at this trip. |

2nd Dec 2023 Good To Soft 3m 1f 214y Class 1 |
10st 7lb |
Unraced beyond an extended 2m4f and this is a tough race in which to test his stamina; however, he was strong at the finish when winning a Grade 2 novice at Ayr (2m4f, good) in April and may well have staying potential; might have needed his reappearance in the Old Roan and is not ruled out. |

29th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 200y Class 1 |

Consistent novice chaser last season, apart from a blip at the Cheltenham Festival (soft); bagged Grade 2 honours at Ayr (2m4f, good; form boosted since) on final start; could well show further progress this term; major contender. |

13th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 200y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Flagbearer for the Sheila Lewis yard who scored twice over hurdles in 2020 and has reached new heights over fences this season; however, his limitations at the highest level were seemingly exposed when 28l fourth in the Arkle at Cheltenham (2m, soft) last time, with the reopposing Saint Roi 16l ahead in third; steps back up in trip now. |

14th Mar 2023 Soft 1m 7f 199y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Flagbearer for the Sheila Lewis yard who scored twice over hurdles in 2020 and has reached new heights over fences this season, two wins including a game effort over C&D (good ground; handles soft too) in October; however, this represents by far his sternest assignment and he's understandably one of the outsiders. |

19th Aug 2023 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Patchy form over fences for Philip Hobbs last season; dual winner over hurdles in 2021, and quite interesting with hood and tongue-tie tried on first run for new trainer providing rain stays away (non-runner on soft in Too Friendly's race at Market Rasen last time). |

Dual hurdle winner in 2021; seemed to be getting his act together over fences when second of four at Taunton (2m, soft) in January but was no match for the winner there and has since performed poorly. |

2nd Dec 2023 Good 2m 0f 128y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Very well handicapped on his high-profile exploits in 2021; last season never got going but the signs were better when third at Aintree in May and some of the yard's inmates have needed their first run back, so there's good reason to expect better from him than at Kempton 19 days ago; respected. |
9/2 |

13th Nov 2023 Good 2m 5f 0y Class 2 |

Didn't really fire during light campaign last season, but his third of seven at Aintree (2m4f, good) in May was a good step back in the right direction and he remains very well handicapped on older form. |
