Productive over 2m3f-2m4f from last autumn until this spring, winning six times; however, form dipped sharply with dismal efforts the last twice; this step back up in trip is another reason to oppose him. |

Something to prove after stopping quickly on his return but he was consistent in handicaps last season (2m2f-2m4f) and this longer trip shouldn't b an issue on breeding; possibilities. |

28th Nov 2023 Soft 3m 2f 202y Class 5 |

0-12 under rules and his stamina for this far is not guaranteed as the ground was good when he was beaten about 9l over 3m at Bangor in April when last seen; perhaps best watched back from a break. |

22nd Apr 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 5y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
0-11 under rules but has made the frame in all four chases, most notably when second in quite valuable series final at Carlisle (2m4f, heavy) last month; ground any quicker than good to soft will be new to him but he looks ready for another crack at 3m and is one to consider. |

8th Apr 2023 Soft 2m 4f 198y Class 5 |

Point winner who is 0-10 under rules but he's shown clear promise in his three runs over fences, including when a staying-on third from 4lb out of the weights here (2m4f, heavy) last time; was beaten less than 3l in that race and he's respected off same mark on this drop back in grade. |

23rd Feb 2023 Good 3m 2f 202y Class 5 |

Didn't jump well in November on his last run over fences but he's well treated on his chase form last May/June (including on good ground) and a recent hurdles outing was fairly encouraging in reapplied cheekpieces and a new tongue-tie (both retained); interesting contender now back over fences. |

Only had one behind him at Hexham in June but beaten less than ten lengths and 2m on good ground probably an inadequate test now; on a tempting mark and cheekpieces (won on the Flat only previous attempt in them) return; has a better chance than the form figures would suggest. |

Ten-race rules maiden who hasn't been at his best the last twice and could perhaps do with a step back up in trip; however, he continues to drop down the weights and may have a part to play in this weak race. |
