11st 8lb |
Goes up in trip and could do with settling better than when soundly beaten at Sandown (2m4f) last month; however, the heavy ground may have been too much and he was progressive there previously, with a win and a near-miss (both 2m4f on good to soft); his dam won at up to 3m and he could get back on track with a big performance for his top trainer. |

Improved form in novice handicaps over C&D (good to soft) last month, beating Twinjets then head second to Inneston; evidently well suited by this track and trip; one of three solid-looking contenders for Paul Nicholls and should go well again. |

Opened his account in similar event over C&D (good to soft; handicap debut) 12 days ago, reversing placings with a rival who had beaten him the time before; should improve further; solid claims. |

11st 10lb |
Dual bumper winner in spring 2022 and a three-time hurdle winner last season; made disappointing reappearance when tailed off in Chepstow handicap hurdle last month but could still have a good future over fences. |

14th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Dual bumper winner; nicely progressive in his first season over hurdles and bounced back from a poor run in the EBF Final at Sandown to defy a double penalty at Kempton (2m5f novice, good to soft); that triggered a hit in the weights but he's a chasing type with the potential to rate higher. |

11st 3lb |
Application of a tongue-strap saw him come to fruition over hurdles, finishing third in a Sandown handicap in February and winning a modest Fontwell maiden in May; starts chasing life on a good mark and this winner of his only start in Irish points is another to consider. |

Winning pointer; suffered dip in form after promising hurdle debut in November but was seemingly back on track when very respectable third on handicap debut at Sandown (2m4f, good to soft; first-time tongue-tie) in February; that form has been very well advertised by the front pair since; the one to beat. |

Belied his 50-1 odds with novice hurdle win at Wincanton (2m5f, good to soft) in January; no further progress in two handicaps since, latest at Fontwell (2m3f; third of four) switched to fences; others appear to be brighter prospects. |

Patchy form over hurdles last term during his first rules campaign; competitive mark judged on his best efforts but struggling when unseating two out on chase/seasonal debut at Wetherby early this month; stays this trip. |

Patchy form over hurdles last season during his first rules campaign but he's on a competitive mark on his best efforts and this former pointer could improve for today's switch to fences; possible player. |

Ran his best race in handicaps when keeping on for fourth in a near-3m handicap at Ascot three weeks ago; unexposed as a stayer but he will need another step forward to come out on top. |
