28th Jun 2024 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
0-6 in bumpers/hurdles but he's won two of his six starts over fences and was a creditable third at Southwell (3m, good to soft) 24 days ago; still has potential in this sphere and he's respected for in-form yard; wore cheekpieces last time and visor now goes on. |

14th Apr 2024 Good 3m 1f 152y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Lightly raced 7yo who came on a bundle for his first run in 11 months to win with a bit in hand over this far on good ground at Hereford three months ago; has never raced on soft so subsequent three-month break might be put down to him waiting for his ground and, although 12lb higher for this, he may well have more to offer (2-4 over fences). |

2-9 over fences, the latter win gained by 12l at Sedgefield (3m3f, soft) in November; showed some signs of temperament when below that form there in January and is not without risk on this first start for 12 weeks. |

1st Mar 2023 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-14 under rules; rallied well for close third at Market Rasen (2m3f, good to soft; first-time blinkers) in early December and ran well for a long way when third (albeit well held in the end) at Huntingdon (2m7f, good to soft) on Boxing Day, but looked lacklustre at Fakenham in January and it's hard to know what to expect from him here. |

2nd Feb 2023 Good 2m 5f 44y Class 5 |

0-13 under rules but bettered very disappointing stable debut when rallying well for close third at Market Rasen (2m3f, good to soft; first-time blinkers) in early December and ran well for a long way when third (albeit well held in the end) at Huntingdon (2m7f, good to soft) on Boxing Day; respected. |

Point winner; 0-12 under rules but he has had only two starts for this stable and showed welcome signs of a revival when third of seven at Market Rasen 25 days ago (2m3f, good to soft; first-time blinkers, retained); up in trip today and he enters calculations. |

13th May 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Came good over fences at seventh attempt, beating three rivals at Leicester (2m6f, good to firm) in December; that form isn't anything to get excited about, though, and he was safely held when last seen on Boxing Day. |

26th Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Ran well over C&D in May; off the mark at the 13th attempt with a game win at Leicester this month (2m6f, good to firm; well backed); wouldn't want soft ground but a 4lb rise shouldn't prevent a prominent run. |

Defied a 12lb higher mark in 2020 for previous stable; best efforts for new yard when solid second over C&D in September/October; could well go one better, provided he takes to new headgear. |

8th Jun 2023 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Has done the bulk of his recent racing at Huntingdon, winning chases over near 3m and 2m4f last year; didn't run badly on ground slower than ideal in April; contender, for all there may be stronger stayers lurking. |

Last six runs have been here, winning two of them (this trip/2m7f); not really threatened off this mark the last twice and good ground seems the key to him. |

26th Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |

Off the mark with an easy win over C&D in April and he returned from his summer break to win a three-runner handicap over 2m4f here in October; made mistakes when second seven weeks ago; shouldn't be far away with a clear round. |

Two wins in 2019/20 but absent for nearly two years after the second of them and hasn't recovered his form; however, change of headgear offers hope (won in first-time cheekpieces); best if able to lead. |

Eight-race maiden who has finished in the frame on both starts over fences, last time chasing home a 100-1 shot in a 3m handicap at Southwell (soft) when cheekpieces were on for the first time (retained); a possible. |

26th Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |

Ran well at Perth in September (2m4f, soft; hurdles) and he has shown better form in two chase runs since, missing out by a neck at Southwell five weeks ago (3m, soft; first-time cheekpieces, retained); still has better to come in this discipline. |

Well treated on last season's best hurdle form but after pulling up over fences he finished a long way behind in 3m1f handicap hurdle at Catterick (heavy); probably needs this good ground but others have fewer risks. |

12th Jan 2023 Soft 3m 1f 71y Class 4 |

Pulled up over fences at Huntingdon on Boxing Day and reverts to hurdles on a higher mark; however, he was a fair third of four in a chase at Plumpton two starts ago and is well treated on last season's best hurdle form; the first-time visor may be a help and he's not written off. |

Irish maiden point winner; standout effort when second in a novice hurdle at Plumpton (2m4f, good to soft) in January; down the weights in first-time headgear when second again at this track (2m4f, soft) three weeks ago on second chase start, admittedly beaten 18l but it was a step back in the right direction. |

Dual chase winner for Suzy Smith in 2021; returned from 881-day absence with heavy defeat over hurdles here (3m2f, good) for new stable three weeks ago but ran well to a point and may benefit from this drop back in trip; 2lb wrong but worth a second look. |

Dual chase winner in the spring of 2021 but he'd lost his form when last seen in November 2023; impossible to predict what this stable debut will produce but he's on a dangerous mark and the market should give firm indications. |
