19th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 78y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Pulled up just over two months ago when back from a long absence and needs to prove how much ability he retains; however, he shaped pretty well for a fair way on that latest start and he was a highly progressive novice chaser in the 2022-23 campaign; no surprise if he has a big say today. |

14th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 0f 78y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Highly progressive novice chaser in 2022-23 season; absent since falling in April of that season but he's on a good mark if retaining his ability and his trainer's horses often run well fresh; interesting contender. |

15th May 2023 Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
0-15 under rules; started off for Gary Hanmer with two seconds over fences during the winter but ran poorly when tried in cheekpieces (now removed) last time and it's hard to know what to expect from him on this return to hurdling. |

25th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Chased home progressive rival on stable debut at Warwick (2m, soft) in December and kept on from a long way off the pace for another second at Catterick (1m7f, good) last month; held before last-fence fall on latest outing (2m4f) and 3lb wrong here, but still makes some appeal now dropped back in trip and with first-time cheekpieces fitted. |

24th Feb 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Winner of his only point back in 2018 but things never fell right for him over fences for previous yard; up against it behind progressive winners in two starts for new connections (stewards enquired latest, explanation noted) but is in shallower waters here; is open to improvement. |

10st 3lb |
10yo who is inconsistent and hasn't made an impact on her last two starts, but before those she was second at Southwell (2m, good to soft) and is 5lb lower than when second in this last year; not discounted. |

28th Nov 2023 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Short-headed on his fifth attempt (yielding to soft) at Irish maiden points; modest form in Britain last term, switched from hurdles to fences for last two outings; needs improvement reappearing in first-time headgear. |

5th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 199y Class 5 |

Short-headed last March on his fifth attempt at Irish maiden points; modest form in Britain this term, just 7-2 on latest start when switched from hurdles to fences for handicap at Catterick (1m7f); needs much better and goes back up in trip. |

13th Jun 2026 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Just 2-26 over fences, but has struck here before and has stamina to spare as a 2m4f winner; back below her last winning mark and forgiven her latest effort (badly hampered by faller); prospects in a weak race. |
4/1 |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 15y Class 5 |

Won over C&D off this mark in March last year (good to soft); plenty of decent efforts since, including when third at Kelso last time (2m5f, good); each-way chance. |

A case can be made on form as recent as November but she failed to shine on her two starts in February and needs to raise her game. |

Course winner; last three wins were over 2m4f at Newcastle in 2023/4; sound run when fourth at Haydock last time (2m3f, good to soft); now 2lb lower and interesting with cheekpieces tried. |

Won handicap chases at Market Rasen last June (2m, good) and Sedgefield on Boxing Day (2m1f, good to soft); hasn't been in quite such good form since; could go well. |

10th May 2024 Good 2m 3f 188y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Dual chase winner last season, latterly off today's mark here (2m1f, good to soft) on Boxing Day; not in same form when well-held third at Market Rasen last month, though, and this switch back to hurdling is not ideal. |
