Won over C&D (good to soft) in April 2023 and returned to form to win on stable debut at Cartmel (2m6f, heavy) last August; however, two lesser runs have followed and he needs to get back on track after a break. |

14th Apr 2025 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Maiden hurdler who has come late to fences but he's shaped well on both his runs in this sphere; had a wind op before an unfortunate last of six in 2m1f Kelso handicap last month, stumbling after last when in with every chance; merits serious consideration off a 2lb lower mark. |

10st 2lb |
9yo who is 0-8 and 2lb out of the handicap today; however, he was consistent over hurdles and ran well when fourth of seven on chase debut at Newcastle (2m, soft) in January; could be a contender if wind surgery has helped. |

7th Oct 2023 Good 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Runner-up at Haydock in April but tailed off at Warwick the following month and absent since; yard in good form and James Turner takes off a very handy 10lb, so there are grounds for optimism. |

13th May 2023 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Bumper winner who has been inconsistent in his five-race hurdling career but he returned to form with a good second at Haydock (3m, good to soft) last month and is a key player if he's on song once more. |

11st 1lb |
Pulled up on final start last season and the same story on both this term, tried in cheekpieces on latest; 13lb below his career-high mark and reverts to hurdling (from chasing) for the first time since April 2023. |
