17th Nov 2024 Good 3m 3f 71y Class 1 |
10st 2lb |
This is his first run since April and he's improved for his reappearance run in each of the last two seasons; however, he returns with his stable in flying form and is on a competitive mark on his best efforts last term; won over 3m3f/3m4f in his 2022-23 campaign and not ruled out. |

7-52; enjoyed the run of the race, making all, at Wetherby (2m4f, soft; 18-1; from 6lb lower) on penultimate start; ran to a similar level (third) behind the newly blinkered Rath Gaul Hill back there subsequently; no issue with Newcastle; player with Alice Stevens claiming 3lb. |

12st 2lb |
His last two wins have come over C&D (soft), the latest in January when last seen; also effective on good ground; this 10yo is inconsistent and has never won off a mark this high, but he comfortably made all last time and could well make another bold bid if he's on another going day. |

Once useful for Nigel Twiston-Davies but his long losing run has continued for current yard and ran no more than okay in the first-time visor at Kelso 17 days ago; others appeal more. |

Useful over several seasons when trained by Nigel Twiston-Davies; signed off for him with some below-par runs in the autumn and made low-key start for new stable this year but significant positives can be drawn from his run in refitted cheekpieces at Sedgefield (3m2f, good) last month and he has possibilities here if combination of drop back in trip and first-time visor pays dividends. |

Veteran with nine wins to his name and, with cheekpieces back on, he ran well for a long way at Warwick 17 days ago (good to soft); that was encouraging after a lengthy break but he's no certainty to be as good again. |

Commendable second in last season's Aintree Foxhunters' (2m5f, good to soft) and as good as ever in recent 2m4f handicaps; stays 3m well and won't be fazed if the ground turns soft (unraced on heavy); ought to be hard to beat on return to hunter chasing. |

Possibilities if returning to his early-season form last campaign but now has to bounce back from two non-completions; the return of cheekpieces (tried blinkers last time) is a positive and he's got himself well handicapped. |

No win since April 2019; placed in last season's Welsh Grand National and is now 29lb lower but looked badly out of sorts this winter; swapped cheekpieces for refitted blinkers at Chepstow 16 days ago and there was an upturn but he was 10l behind the winner Domaine De L'Isle so still has work to do. |

10yo who isn't the force of old but ran some fair races over fences in the autumn, most recently third at Musselburgh (2m7f, soft); continues to edge down the weights and might not be far away if the return to hurdling isn't a problem (three wins in this sphere, which he last tackled in May 2022). |
