28th Apr 2023 Good 2m 3f 98y Class 3 |
11st 3lb |
Missed last season; may be best front-running nowadays, as when winning over C&D (good to soft; acts on soft) in December and runner-up in small fields in two of his four completions since; 2m7f may have contributed when below form last time and he should be more potent today. |

24th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 6f 93y Class 3 |
12st 1lb |
Can jump right but two of his three wins have come on left-handed tracks and he gave a dashing display from the front at Wetherby recently (2m5f, good; has won on soft) only to get reeled in by an improved one who followed up this week; bold bid likely. |

2nd 3 |
6th Mar 2023 Good 2m 5f 75y Class 3 |

Has won three of his nine chase starts, the latest at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) in December; back to form when second of four to unexposed winner at Lingfield (2m4f, good to soft) at the end of January and he unseated at the first fence at Warwick recently; capable of a bold show. |

11st 12lb |
3-3 in open points across a variety of going types this term, with March's Didmarton success franked by the runner-up at Kimble last weekend; twice a non-finisher over today's C&D previously, but his earlier 2m3.5f second here (good to soft) remains a career-best effort judged on RPRs; player. |

21st Mar 2024 Soft 1m 7f 212y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
When a 23l third at Newbury (2m, soft) two starts ago he was behind two highly progressive rivals and he continues to drop down the weights, but positive performances have been scarce this season and he was tailed off at Sandown (1m7f, soft) last time. |

15th Feb 2024 Soft 1m 7f 99y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Has won six times over fences but seems to have developed his own ideas about the game and looks a difficult ride these days; below form this term on both British starts on heavy; latest outing was his best show this season but he needs to better that. |

21st Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 52y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Has been racking up the places since completing a hat-trick two years ago, a sure sign that he's high in the weights; however, again ran well at Exeter (2m7f, good to soft) last time and finished just ahead of last week's Pertemps Final runner-up Jeriko Du Reponet; raised another 2lb for that but he's very solid. |
3/1 |

2nd 1 |
9th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 25y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Completed a hat-trick in spring 2023 but has been chalking up the seconds since; two of those have been at this track in this race last year and a 3m chase on penultimate start (has worn cheekpieces this term); form dipped at Windsor latest and he's probably vulnerable if back on song for this return to hurdling. |

Added a second hurdling success over this C&D in June last year off 92 (good to yielding); reverts to hurdles now following several underwhelming runs over fences; time is ticking on but can't be dismissed. |

Dual winning hurdler with his latest win coming at Punchestown in June off 92 (3m, good to yielding); 0-7 chasing however, well beaten in testing conditions at Fairyhouse last month; reduced mark but still others preferred on this ground. |

Dual C&D chase winner (soft/good to soft) but has been relatively low key since back from a break; is at least dropping in the weights and a turnaround is not ruled out back at this course. |

26th Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 3f 189y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Hurdle winner in France; he has looked in the grip of the handicapper in three starts over fences for Paul Nicholls, inclined to over-race and not jumping fluently; possible that things will click at some point but the jury is out for now. |
8/1 |

7th 7 |
3rd Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
French hurdle winner over 2m2f on very soft in October 2020; missed all of 2021 and has found little for pressure in 2m chases this year, in January and October; the first-time tongue-tie offers hope but is risky. |

Has sparked only twice in the last two years, when winning at Chepstow (extended 2m3f, heavy) early in 2021 and 2022; this season has seen him tailed off at Chepstow and pulled up at Ffos Las; now 3lb below his last winning mark and the betting was a very good pointer to last season's win. |

Has sparked only twice in the last two years, when winning at Chepstow (extended 2m3f, heavy) early in 2021 and 2022; tailed off back at Chepstow on his return last month; back to 1lb above his last winning mark and the betting was a very good guide to last season's win. |

Won off 1lb lower at Chepstow (2m3f, heavy) in January but he's not matched that form in only three runs since and was tailed off back at Chepstow on his return this month; has something to prove and he needs to get back on track. |

33-1 into 18-1, flattered slightly by near-1l margin behind an idling Barton Snow in this race last year (good), but that was still a mighty run after 418 days out; absent again since, but his comparatively moderate RPRs around sharpish tracks probably concerns more. |

2nd May 2025 Good 2m 0f 62y Class 5 |

Fair chaser/hurdler for Harry Whittington but six defeats in points include a remote third behind A Jet Of Our Own; blinkers replace cheekpieces after a lengthy absence; probably up against it. |
