4th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 19y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
Won good handicaps at Ascot (2m5f, good) and Cheltenham (2m4f, good to soft) towards the end of last year; a case can be made on that form but three lesser runs have followed and he needs to get back on track. |

10st 13lb |
Found a new level of form in late 2024 with wins at Ascot (2m5f, good) and over C&D (good to soft); disappointing here next time but he was still going well when nearly down three out over C&D in January and the 6lb higher mark than for his latest win may not be beyond him; considered for yard that's won this race three times. |

24th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 6f 93y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
All three wins at 2m4f-2m5f (good/good to soft); very creditable third in a strong Cheltenham handicap two starts ago (2m4f, soft) but disappointing she didn't do better when conditions should have suited at Warwick since (has run two of her better races there); questioned after that. |

24th Feb 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
All wins on good/good to soft; her recent thirds were fairly remote but in good 2m4f handicaps at Sandown/Cheltenham on soft ground that wouldn't have been absolutely ideal; needs considering. |

28th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |

All wins on good/good to soft, the most recent in mares' handicap over C&D last April; soft ground wasn't ideal at Sandown (well-held third) three weeks ago; could go well granted suitable conditions. |

26th Aug 2024 Soft 3m 1f 107y Class 3 |
10st 3lb |
Useful hurdler/chaser when with Tom Lacey but had very disappointing five-race spell with Stuart Coltherd last season and was tailed off behind Tommie Beau over hurdles here on stable debut in May; can cope with slow ground but needs combination of wind surgery and refitted tongue-tie to make a big difference. |

Bumper and 2m7f hurdle winner (good to soft); has been unable to kick on over fences; returned to hurdles for reappearance at Cheltenham (2m5f, good to soft) latest, when creditable fifth; more needed. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 4 |
11st 13lb |
Defied a virtually identical absence to today's at Perth this time last year (good); inconsistent when last seen, however, and over three and a half years since he last lowered a mark in the 120s. |

Course winner here last September (2m4f, good); back to winning ways last time at Ffos Las (3m, good to soft); interesting contender off this 5lb higher mark. |

Had some good form when with Gary Moore but clearly a declining force and recent point exploits don't bode well. |

Left alone to win selling handicap chase over C&D in April on final run for Gary Moore; however, he was in rear when unseating mid-race at Warwick on his stable debut then finished down the field at Plumpton last time. |

Posted handicap chase five-timer in 2020-21 but has shown very little since and a dramatic turnaround is needed. |

11st 9lb |
Got up to a rating of 126 after winning four handicap chases on the bounce at up to 2m3f (all on soft or heavy) for Gary Moore two seasons ago; has been rather disappointing since but reverts to hurdles on a very good mark. |
