23rd Mar 2025 Good 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Off 444 days before this season, during which he's been well below form but still managed a third at Wetherby (3m, soft) in January; latest start was a rare foray over fences; accelerating down the weights and first-time blinkers replace his usual cheekpieces. |

Only had three chase runs and he's off the same mark for the 3m2f win at Doncaster just over two years ago; has to recapture that level of form but he's been running over hurdles this season. |

2nd Nov 2024 Good 3m 0f 45y Class 4 |

Well beaten over hurdles at Worcester in September but was returning from a 104-day break and chasing is his game nowadays; won two in a row over fences at Southwell (3m, good) in the spring and he's a strong contender if back on song today. |

Pulled up over 4m here last time (soft); plenty of decent placed efforts in 3m chases before that; has an each-way chance. |

Without a win since December 2023 but this consistent sort has finished second at Catterick (3m1f/3m, soft) on his last two starts and ran well over 3m6f there in January 2024; each-way claims. |

21st Dec 2023 Soft 2m 5f 137y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Triple hurdle winner who has won over fences; however, he looks stuck in a rut right now in both disciplines and now has another change of headgear (has won in cheekpieces). |
20/1 |

16th Nov 2023 Good 2m 7f 3y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Triple hurdle winner who won over fences at Exeter (3m, good) last November but he's lost his way since and was pulled up at Huntingdon last month; now 2lb lower than for his chase win but he needs to turn things around; reapplied visor replaces cheekpieces. |
20/1 |

17th Oct 2023 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |

Three-time hurdle winner who won a 3m chase at Exeter (good) last November; soon went downhill afterwards (twice hurdling this summer) and now has questions to answer. |

9th Nov 2023 Good To Soft 3m 1f 125y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Started off for Gary Hanmer with two respectable runs in this month last year, latterly when fifth in a good-quality Uttoxeter chase (2m6f, soft); has fitness to prove after 354-day absence but the handicapper has given him a good chance. |
33/1 |

10th Jan 2023 Good 3m 2f 1y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Pulled up on his fencing debut for Paul Nicholls in June but he's performed with credit on both subsequent runs for current yard, fifth in 2m6f Uttoxeter handicap chase in November; no forlorn hope from a 5lb lower mark. |
16/1 |

20th Nov 2022 Soft 2m 6f 108y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Won a maiden hurdle at Hexham in May 2021 on debut for Paul Nicholls but failed to go on from that; pulled up this June on sole chase start and was a soundly beaten fourth over hurdles at Worcester on recent stable debut; 3lb out of the handicap now back over fences and others are preferred. |

28th May 2023 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Lightly raced 8yo who beat three rivals to make winning chase debut at Fontwell (2m5f, good to soft) in November; only 2lb higher here but reappeared with lacklustre effort in February and it's hard to know what to expect from him after another break; cheekpieces refitted. |

27th Apr 2023 Good 2m 7f 3y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Very lightly raced 8yo; made a winning seasonal/chase debut at Fontwell (2m5f, good to soft) in November but that was in a small-field event and he was pulled up at Ffos Las next time; blinkers are now tried and he comes with risks attached after another break. |

9th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Very lightly raced 8yo who beat three rivals to make winning seasonal/chase debut at Fontwell (2m5f, good to soft) in November; the bare form isn't anything to get excited about but he's only 2lb higher here and still has potential. |

19th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Benefited from addition of tongue-tie when opening chasing account at Hexham (1m7f, good) in September but wasn't quite in same form at Huntingdon the following month and has fitness to prove after 246-day absence. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
17th Oct 2023 Good 2m 0f 104y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Wants good ground and with a tongue-tie replacing his usual hood he ran out a clearcut winner over slightly shorter at Hexham (4lb lower); remains to be seen whether he'll continue the good work as his profile is very up and down. |
7/2 |
|
1st 3 |
6th Sep 2023 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Dual hurdle winner; two solid chasing efforts at Market Rasen this summer but flopped at Newton Abbot latest; tongue-strap now fitted and will be a threat to all if that enables a return to his best. |
