Disappointing favourite returned to chasing last time, extending her losing run; nicely treated on best form but chance largely depends on how well she responds to new headgear. |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 0f 54y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Two wins over fences at about 2m4f (soft and heavy) during early 2024; hasn't matched that in ten starts since and was never competitive when pulled up at Ffos Las (2m, soft) on his reappearance ten days ago; new headgear combination needs to spark a revival. |

2-13 over fences, with the wins over about 2m4f in the mud last February and March; second off a career-low mark at Lingfield (2m, soft) this February, followed by a respectable show in first-time cheekpieces, but today's trip and forecast good ground both ask major questions. |

Returned from break with good-ground C&D win in October and followed up at Market Rasen (2m5f, good to soft) a few weeks later; struggled on heavy ground at Fontwell in December but has been freshened up again since and Sean Bowen keeps the ride; must be considered. |

Won twice over hurdles in 2023 (July and October); missed 2024 and ran over fences on both starts for new yard this year, not disgraced on first occasion but tailed off on heavy latest; has a good mark if he's straight back to his peak returned to hurdles. |

11st 7lb |
Overcome significant interference from a loose horse to win for Tim Vaughan at Fontwell (2m5f, good to soft) just over a year ago but left that stable after a disappointing run last October and was a pulled-up outsider when reappearing for new trainer last week. |

17th Sep 2025 Good 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Opened her account at Fontwell (2m5f) last September but came in last of nine at Hereford (2m4f) 11 months ago on her final run for Tim Vaughan; since changed hands for £1,000 and she needs to hit the ground running for her new stable. |

14th Oct 2024 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |

Too good for a heavily backed subsequent winner when opening account at Fontwell (2m5f, good to soft) last month; not quite in same form when well-held second off same mark a few days later and an 8lb rise has now taken effect but she remains of interest. |

Modest over hurdles (0-2) so far, including when pulling up on return from a 71-day absence at Fontwell (2m3f, soft; bled from the nose) recently; drops back to 2m in a newly applied tongue-tie seeking a sharp upturn in fortunes. |
