22nd Nov 2024 Good To Soft 1m 7f 152y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Not at the top of his game on either run this autumn but this month's C&D fourth was a step back in the right direction and he could be working his way back into form; well handicapped on the pick of his form during a solid campaign last season and he's a possible contender. |

Posted a string of creditable performances in hot handicaps in the second half of last season, making the frame over 2m at Aintree and Ayr in the spring; no threat after five months off at Chepstow three weeks ago but he'll be dangerous if improving for the run. |

Some promise when a 17l fourth in his middle run and handicaps should see him in a better light. |

From a useful family and represents notable connections; soundly beaten in Chepstow bumper (good to soft) last month but should do better with that debut experience under his belt. |

30th Jan 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Struggled on first two hurdling starts but was prominent for a long way and displayed some promise when fifth in first-time blinkers at Taunton (2m, soft) this month; needs to improve again here but has potential. |

9th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |

Perhaps needed the experience on sole bumper run; has achieved nothing in two novice hurdles (2m/2m3f) since but first-time headgear is a possible source of improvement. |

19-race maiden on Flat; comfortably held in two attempts over hurdles, modest fifth at Southwell then eighth at Plumpton; unappealing. |

20th Dec 2022 Good To Soft 1m 7f 195y Class 4 |

0-19 on the Flat; has some fairly useful form on his record but knocks about in run-of-the-mill handicaps nowadays and was soundly beaten when 50-1 for recent hurdling debut at Southwell. |

9th May 2023 Good 2m 7f 174y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Took a big step forward on just his second handicap start when scoring at Fontwell (3m1f) 18 days ago, forging clear after the final flight; up 3lb but he remains unexposed at staying trips and rates a player; cheekpieces refitted. |

Has been well held at big prices in all of his completed starts, including on handicap debut at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in February; still very lightly raced but he needs improvement on this step up to 3m1f. |

22nd Aug 2024 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
0-11 under rules; kept on well for second over fences at Fakenham (3m, good) in April and didn't run badly on soft ground last month, but makes only limited appeal on this return to hurdling; 1lb wrong; tongue-tie added. |

17th Jul 2024 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Fell on his first two attempts over fences, but had the race at his mercy at Newton Abbot (3m2f, soft; from 3lb higher) on the second occasion; has failed to sparkle since - usually labouring in rear - although there was a glimmer of spark at Fakenham over Easter. |

1st Apr 2024 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |

Unlucky not to open his account at Newton Abbot (3m2f, soft) just under a year ago and ran well when fourth at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) on Boxing Day, after a layoff, but was struggling from fairly early stage at Chepstow in January and can't be supported with any confidence after that. |

24th May 2023 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Showed no significant promise in three qualifying runs during the winter (2m-2m2f) but makes handicap debut from a lowly mark and has more realistic chance to get competitive this time; 2lb wrong; tongue-tie added. |
