22nd Mar 2023 Soft 3m 4f 97y Class 3 |
11st 13lb |
Pulled up in the Eider last month and unseated at the first fence at Carlisle on Sunday; however, before those he won at Catterick (3m1f, soft) in January and is proven over marathon trips; not written off. |

19th Mar 2023 Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Didn't jump well enough when pulled up in the 4m1f Eider, a race he won two seasons ago; will be happier on this softer ground and he won well at Catterick the run before (3m1f, soft; 4lb lower) in second-time cheekpieces. |

25th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 4m 1f 56y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Won this in 2021 off 14lb higher; wind surgery before a partial revival this winter and he followed his third to Bushypark at Catterick last month with a strong-staying win over 3m there 13 days later; visored for those last two starts; back up 5lb but of far more concern is that all his significant form is on soft or heavy; big shout if the ground is okay. |

31st Dec 2022 Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Won off 4lb higher at Doncaster (3m, soft) in February 2020; has had only four runs since but after another wind operation he was a creditable second back at Doncaster on his seasonal return three weeks ago; was a well-backed favourite in that race and he's respected off an unchanged mark. |

2nd 6 |
9th Dec 2022 Good 2m 7f 214y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Won off 4lb higher over C&D (soft) in February 2020 but he missed 2021 and wasn't at his best in three runs early this year; returns from another absence but he's had a second wind operation and needs watching in the market back at this track. |

28th Apr 2023 Good 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Respectable minor honours in three of his first four starts this season but well beaten next time and jumping proved his undoing on latest; now switches back from chasing to his first hurdle run since last April; 7lb lower than his chase mark and also wears headgear for the first time. |

15th May 2024 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Six-time chase winner; badly out of form since very respectable seventh of 19 in much stronger race than this at Cheltenham (3m1f, good) in October but lurks on a very dangerous mark now and he's another who ought to benefit if the ground dries out here. |

3rd Mar 2023 Good 2m 7f 214y Class 3 |
11st 1lb |
Soft ground and the sharp track were nominated as excuses when he was pulled up at Catterick last time (albeit he's won on soft in the past); won at Ayr (3m, good to soft) in December on second start back from a long absence and he's a major player if rediscovering that form. |

16th Feb 2023 Good 2m 7f 91y Class 4 |

In good form in December after a long absence, winning at Ayr (3m, good to soft) on his second start back; the soft ground and sharp track were nominated as excuses when he was pulled up at Catterick last time (albeit he's won on soft in the past) but it's hard to be confident on the back of that. |

Triple 3m hurdle winner in Ireland who had some fair chase form in home country last season but he hasn't settled down in Britain as yet and was beaten a long way in a recent point. |

Even from 2lb out of the handicap he's well treated on Irish form as recent as last February but was well beaten on his final two runs for Dermot McLoughlin and it's been the same story on his three outings for this yard. |

25-race maiden; seems on the downgrade but he's tumbled in the weights and was a long way out of the handicap on his most recent outing; conditions fine and not discounted despite unpromising form figures. |

Stays well and several creditable efforts to his name but a maiden after 23 starts and was tailed off at Chepstow last month, on return from a long absence; others more appealing. |
