16th Mar 2023 Heavy 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Cashed in a career-low mark at Ffos Las in January (3m) on soft ground still not thought soft enough by connections; still 8lb below a winning mark despite a re-raise, and will find this course no less to his liking. |

Just one win in 17 rules starts; not disgraced in two handicaps this season at about 3m, beaten in the region of 10l on both occasions; has each-way claims. |

17th Feb 2024 Soft 3m 0f 150y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
There's stamina in his pedigree and he showed marked improvement when upped to 3m for second of 15 on handicap debut at Ffos Las (soft); that was last January and he's unraced since; needed some riding, including as he wandered under pressure and was awkward at the penultimate flight, and cheekpieces go on today; off an unchanged mark, he's on the shortlist. |

23rd Jan 2023 Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |

No better than mid-division in three 2m novices but there's stamina in his pedigree and this trip should be more suitable for his handicap debut; respected, especially if strong in the betting. |

9th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 205y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Fair maiden hurdler/chaser for Peter Bowen; his latest run was when third in a Ffos Las handicap chase in April 2023; probably best watched on stable debut on return from a lengthy break. |

0-13; made the frame in five of his seven handicap hurdles, the latest when third of 15 here (3m) in January on his second start back from a long absence; needs to improve on that, which he failed to do at Hereford (2m3f) 18 days ago but he's now back up in trip with tongue tied first time. |

Seemingly back in good nick when second over fences in December but two lacklustre efforts have followed and it's hard to predict whether this first hurdle run since 2023 will rekindle his enthusiasm. |

Runner-up at Wincanton (3m1f, soft) in December but never going after an early mistake when pulled up at Ludlow since, taking his overall chase record to 1-18; first-time blinkers replace regular visor. |

Just 1-17 over fences, and last time's 5l second at Wincanton (3m1f, soft; kept on but never threatened) owed something to the late exit of Anytrixwilldo; mark unmoved but Rian Corcoran claiming 2lb fewer this time. |

Gained all three wins on heavy ground at Ffos Las (2m-2m6f); safely held in cheekpieces and then a visor on her last two hurdling starts (2m4f/2m); tries a new trip and sports first-time blinkers on this return to chasing; too well handicapped to rule out but needs to turn a corner. |

13th May 2023 Heavy 1m 3f 179y Class 4 |

Failed to win on the Flat for Ed Walker and has had plenty of chances in handicap hurdles for this yard; lacks consistency but he has less to prove than the rest of these back from a short break. |

23rd Jan 2023 Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |

15-race maiden but his recent placed efforts at Lingfield (2m3f) and Hereford (2m5f; soft for both) would be his best yet; just a concern that he's been below par in his previous staying handicaps (3m/3m2f). |

Yet to win (0-14) but, despite jumping right on occasions, ran his best race to date when fitted with a visor at Lingfield (2m3f, soft; third with Roger Rarebit in second) recently; should appreciate this extra yardage and, from an unchanged mark, enters calculations. |

0-9 under rules and was pulled in his last two handicaps (2m7f/3m) last winter before a well-held second back in a point in April; now returns to hurdling after another break; plenty to prove but has joined a yard that has done well this season; market watch needed. |

Third in a decent Irish point last March (3m, yielding to soft); disappointing over hurdles for current yard (pulled up on soft ground last twice) and needs first-time cheekpieces to bring about significant improvement. |

23rd Jan 2023 Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |

No more than minor promise in his novices and off what looked a tough mark he was pulled up here on his handicap debut (2m4f); this longer trip may help but he's a risky one for now. |

6th Nov 2022 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Promise in his second point run; has shown some aptitude for hurdling, including over C&D a fortnight ago when keeping on in the straight; couldn't say he was thrown in for this handicap debut on racecourse achievement but he brings untapped potential. |
