13th Nov 2023 Good 2m 5f 0y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Signed off with two down-the-field finishes in the spring (2m4f/3m), but looked in excellent nick when winning twice over 2m4f for new stable at start of this year and may yet have a bigger performance in him. |

13th May 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
11st 11lb |
Back in prime form for new stable last season, winning twice over 2m4f in good style; lacked fluency and was below form at last month's Aintree festival but remains quite lightly raced for his age and could still have untapped potential over 3m. |

Rookie trainer has made a fine start to career and this fellow won at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) in January on his second stable start; again had something in hand at Newbury (2m4f, good) last month, despite being hampered early, and this progressive 8yo is one to consider; has won on soft. |

No match for Ginny's Destiny on the Old course here (2m4f, soft) on chase debut in November but a drastic weights turnaround favours him; never in the picture but made late headway into third behind Blow Your Wad at Kempton (2m4f, good) since and there's little between them at the weights; can improve. |

29th Dec 2022 Heavy 2m 1f 14y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Low-mileage 8yo who was a course winner over hurdles in February 2021 (2m, soft); last month's chasing debut came after a 534-day absence and he is entitled to have needed the run but he was well beaten and his current ability is not easy to gauge. |

Below best in first-time cheekpieces in this race last year but he had wind surgery after and is now an established performer in leading 2m handicaps, winning two of his last three starts, including the valuable Imperial Cup at Sandown (2m, soft) last month; a further 5lb rise will test him but his proven ability at this level counts for plenty. |

11st 12lb |
Won four small-field chases last summer (2m4f-2m5f, good-heavy) but did not show a great deal on his two outings this spring (2m4f/2m1f) and needs to get back in the groove. |

Having a second go at chasing this term and finally clicked in this sphere when drawing 10l clear in six-runner race over C&D (soft) last time, despite jumping out to his left; back up 6lb, which still leaves him well handicapped judged on that latest run and on some hurdles form. |

Unpredictable over the years for several different stables; easily best effort this season when going down narrowly at Doncaster (3m, soft) in March but was beaten 41l at Uttoxeter on Midlands National day; unconvincing. |

19th Aug 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Dual winner over hurdles in 2022 when trained by Nicky Henderson; encouraging fourth on chase debut at Ffos Las (2m, good) in May; tailed off when the ground may have gone against him at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) last month; these conditions should be more suitable. |

9th Jul 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Well handicapped on peak hurdle form for Nicky Henderson and it was an encouraging chase debut at Ffos Las (2m, good), where he stayed on from off the pace over 2m; this trip looks a better fit. |

30th May 2024 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Dual hurdles winner over about 2m4f for Nicky Henderson; four starts for new yard have seen him come well down the weights and he might have needed the run last time, after four months off; makes chase debut and others inspire a bit more confidence, although there are notable chasers in his family. |
