11st 12lb |
Made it a remarkable nine wins (heavy-good to soft) from his last ten starts when scoring at Chepstow (2m7f) last December; pulled up on his only outing since but that was a tough ask in a hot handicap here four weeks ago, after an absence of nearly a year, and he's not written off. |

Ex-Olly Murphy; off the mark for present yard when winning five-runner handicap chase by a short head at Fontwell last time (3m2f, good); up 3lb; interesting. |

All four wins have came over fences Andy Irvine; her last success was in January 2024 but that was at this track (3m3f) and she returned to form with a creditable third over hurdles here (3m2f, soft) last month; that was only her second start since rejoining her former stable and she's in the mix back over fences. |

All four wins have came over fences for Andy Irvine; had no joy in three starts for Olly Murphy and rejoined former stable before pulling up at Exeter (3m6f, heavy) last month; bids to exploit 10lb lower mark over hurdles; needs to show more. |

Dual course winner on slow ground last season (2m5f/3m2f); not quite at best on two starts this term and was behind Record High when fourth here on Boxing Day but has possibilities if perked up by change of headgear. |

23rd Apr 2023 Good 3m 0f 217y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Whiff of promise last spring but he's been well beaten at big prices in three handicaps this season; probably wouldn't want too much rain on his return from four months off. |

21st Dec 2022 Soft 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Best maiden form came on good ground; didn't appear to be in love with today's conditions when tailed off here last month in the race won by The Imposter; lost a shoe, but debatable what difference that made. |

24th Nov 2022 Soft 2m 3f 110y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Encouraging fourth in maiden hurdle at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good) in April and he may have needed last month's handicap debut at Worcester (2m4f, good; pulled up); very early days and he's not written off, but he's unproven on soft/heavy ground and it's hard to be optimistic after last time. |

Regressive 10yo who struggled to get competitive on first two appearance this season (one over C&D on good); tried in first-time cheekpieces on this first start for 98 days; needs to prove some ability remains. |

2nd Nov 2023 Soft 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
0-9 under rules and was pulled in his last two handicaps (2m7f/3m) last winter before a well-held second back in a point in April; now returns to hurdling after another break; plenty to prove but has joined a yard that has done well this season; market watch needed. |

Down the field in his two handicaps (2m4f on good; 33-1 for both) and pulled up in a point on the only previous occasion he has encountered soft ground; hard to enthuse over. |
