20th Oct 2024 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
His best form has come on soft/heavy ground at Catterick and he was well beaten in February when last seen, but he can go well fresh and has gone close here on good to soft going; has won here twice and is not ruled out. |

29th Feb 2024 Soft 2m 3f 154y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Posted his fourth win at Catterick in December (2m3f, soft) and runner-up there the next twice; races here for the first time but it's been a while since he's run well away from Catterick, which creates a question mark today. |

23rd Dec 2023 Soft 2m 2f 191y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Ended a losing run of three years when making all for a wide-margin win at Bangor this month (2m, soft); back up 6lb but he was runnning in stronger races than this not so long ago and is a triple course winner; no easy lead this time but bold bid likely. |

2nd Dec 2023 Soft 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Front-running veteran who has not won since December 2020 but he's finished runner-up in three of his last four starts including at Sedgefield (2m4f, soft) on his return two weeks ago; remains well treated on old form and he should go well again back in trip. |

Looked a chaser on the up when bagging a pair of 2m4f handicaps at Leicester and Haydock either side of Christmas; pulled up in a highly competitive Cheltenham handicap chase in January but he remains one to be interested in after a break off a 2lb lower mark. |

Rewarded determined ride with unlikely win off today's mark at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) in August 2023 but it's probably wise to treat that piece of form with caution, and we haven't seen him again since. |

Four-time hurdle winner over 2m4f-3m, on good or slower; looked in need of his recent reappearance at Hexham (2m7f, soft); should be better for that but he is still likely to need to improve on his hurdles form to win. |

9th Dec 2023 Soft 2m 3f 98y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Very useful chaser in his prime but needed considerable help from the handicapper before his hurdling win for Dan Skelton in March; unplaced in five French hurdles since joining Sophie Leech and not the most obvious answer here; suited by soft/heavy ground. |

22nd Mar 2023 Soft 2m 2f 191y Class 4 |

With the cheekpieces off and having dropped down the weights, he returned to form with a creditable third at Wetherby (2m3f, good to soft) last month; his rules wins have come on soft/heavy ground and he's a strong contender if producing another good performance here. |

Ex-Irish 8yo who won at the 2021 Punchestown festival and is one to watch in the betting on his third start for this yard, but he has lots to prove having been pulled up/tailed off the last twice. |
