11st 12lb |
Much better than his current mark in the past but his only real bright spot in the last 14 months was a second at Uttoxeter (3m, good to soft) in March; may have needed the run at Warwick on his return last month but he finished a well-held third of six and needs to leave that form behind. |

Much better than his current mark in the past but his only real bright spot during the last 12 months was a second at Uttoxeter in March; well behind Boughtbeforelunch on final appearance in May. |

Won off 4lb higher at Doncaster (3m, soft) in February 2020; has had only four runs since but after another wind operation he was a creditable second back at Doncaster on his seasonal return three weeks ago; was a well-backed favourite in that race and he's respected off an unchanged mark. |

Won off 4lb higher over C&D (soft) in February 2020 but he missed 2021 and wasn't at his best in three runs early this year; returns from another absence but he's had a second wind operation and needs watching in the market back at this track. |

Enjoying a fine summer with two Stratford wins and shade unfortunate (slipping saddle) when second at Southwell latest; another 6lb rise in stronger company asks a lot from this 13yo, however. |

11st 9lb |
Very useful in his prime; inconsistent nowadays but he returned to form with a creditable second at Bangor (2m1f, heavy) two weeks ago; takes a big step back up in trip but his last win was over an extended 2m6f in March and he's respected off same mark as last time. |

8th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 3m 1f 125y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Nothing like the force of old and his only win in the last three seasons came in a two-runner hunter chase in February 2022; runner-up in a small-field handicap in December but that's probably not good enough form and he was soundly beaten 12 days ago. |

Very smart chaser three seasons ago but only win since then came in a two-runner hunter chase over C&D last February; wouldn't be the obvious answer under top weight. |

9th Dec 2022 Good 2m 7f 214y Class 4 |

Smart in his prime but his only win from eight hunter chases this year (under Freddie Gingell) was in a match; however, he is well treated on his best 2022 form and was a respectable second back in a handicap at Lingfield (2m4f, good to soft) on his recent return after 192 days off; looks interesting if he can build on that and this step back up in trip is a positive. |

Forged clear when scoring off 2lb lower at Catterick (3m1f, good) in January but was tailed off in final run last season and he returned to action with a well-held sixth of eight back at Catterick last month; now drops back in grade but he's hard to predict and needs to bounce back near best. |

18th Nov 2022 Good To Soft 3m 1f 54y Class 3 |

Tailed off when last seen in March but had earlier finished scored over C&D; has won after a break so possibilities if near his best on this return. |

9th Dec 2022 Good 2m 7f 214y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Tough sort who won four handicaps at around 2m5f (good) between May-July but he's generally struggled since last success and was a remote last of three at Leicester last time; takes a big drop back in grade but he's never won over this far and others are preferred. |

27th Nov 2022 Good To Firm 2m 4f 25y Class 2 |
10st 4lb |
Tough sort having scored four times during a very busy 2022 (has raced 23 times this year); however, has proved far from consistent since the last success; receives plenty of weight from his rivals, having dropped to a handy mark, but not sure what to expect. |
