22nd Mar 2024 Good To Soft 3m 0f 52y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Didn't really take to chasing and when back over hurdles at Wincanton (2m5f) he perhaps found the heavy ground against him; won on good and good to soft over 2m4f last season and he probably stays 3m; nothing wrong with his mark. |

6th Jan 2024 Heavy 2m 5f 82y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Dual hurdle winner at Ffos Las (2m4f, good to soft/good) towards end of last season, latterly off today's mark; lacked fluency and was safely held in two chases in the autumn but ought to be seen to better effect now back over hurdles; unraced on heavy ground but handles soft well. |

28th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 187y Class 1 |
11st 9lb |
Seemed a non-stayer over 3m on penultimate start; readily justified favouritism at Kempton (2m4f, good to soft) latest, taking chase record to 3-6 and overall strike-rate to 9-25; largely progressive and a useful 3lb is claimed with Callum Pritchard back on board; one to consider. |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Out of the money over 3m at Ascot last time, seeming a non-stayer; solid record otherwise since switched to fences, winning twice and posting two sound efforts; may have more to offer back down in trip; not ruled out. |

17th Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 185y Class 3 |

Overall strike-rate is 8-23; solid set of form figures (1213) since switch to fences, keeping on for creditable effort at Ascot (2m3f, good to soft) most recently; should be thereabouts provided he stays this new trip. |

Dual hurdle winner who is 0-11 over fences but he has the form to feature off this mark if ready to rock on his stable debut after a long absence; the market should be informative. |

28th May 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 34y Class 3 |
10st 5lb |
Left behind by clear winner when second at Uttoxeter (3m, good) two months ago but has now made the frame in all four chases; 5lb out of the weights here but ought to cope if the ground softens and can play a part if the first-time cheekpieces have a positive effect. |

26th Oct 2024 Good 3m 2f 39y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Unseated early last time at Perth; it was an ordinary handicap by Class 2 standards that he won at Worcester (2m4f, good) the time before but that was all very straightforward as he jumped well out in front; could catch some of these cold from a fitness perspective. |

31st Jan 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 25y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Looked an exciting prospect (on the back of a wind op) when landing 2m4f handicap chases at Lingfield and Plumpton this winter but he beat only one at Plumpton last time; he remains with potential though and shouldn't be written off by any means. |

Ex-French 6yo; unplaced all four hurdling starts for Venetia Williams last season but, following a wind op, is 2-2 since switched back to chasing this term, the latter win over C&D (good to soft) three weeks ago; should be fine on today's slower ground and has plenty of scope for further progress. |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Very well handicapped on old hurdling form but, following a long absence, his belated switch to fences has not gone well with form figures of P55 (from 2m3f to 3m). |

19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Very well handicapped on old hurdling form; ultimately well beaten in both chases since returning from mammoth absence in September but travelled well for a long way here (3m, good) on latter occasion and today's trip-and-ground combination may suit him better; worth a second look. |

16th Oct 2025 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Course winner over hurdles in 2021; pulled up when 40-1 for last month's chasing debut at Stratford (race won by Radharc Na Slaine) but that was his first outing for 900 days and he might come on for the run. |

Goes well from the front and won a Leicester seller (2m4f, heavy) in December, but he's far from consistent these days and ran poorly at Ffos Las six weeks later; chance may depend on getting an uncontested lead. |

9th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Easily won two-finisher Leicester seller (2m4f, heavy) six weeks ago, after a layoff, but the value of that form is open to question and he's been very inconsistent in recent years; not an easy one to predict. |

17-race maiden under rules; reached the frame on numerous occasions over fences but he was beaten 21l when third at Hexham (1m7f, good to soft) two weeks ago; should be fine back on the forecast quicker ground but he needs to get back near his best. |

27th Mar 2026 Good 1m 7f 36y Class 4 |

Well capable of being involved, as his close third at Catterick on most recent attempt over 1m7f attests; the negative is that he's a fairly exposed maiden whose latest defeat took chase record to 0-8. |

18th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 3f 49y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Dual winner on the Flat in France whose sole success for this yard came over hurdles at Ludlow (2m5f, soft) in April 2018; has only made the track four times since the beginning of 2019 and has shown nothing (bled on one occasion); lots to prove. |

9th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Made low-key return from mammoth absence a year ago (chase debut) and was pulled up when reverting to hurdling after another layoff in December (bled from the nose); connections are persisting but he urgently needs to prove some ability remains, and Charlie Deutsch evidently prefers Oxygen today. |

1st Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Dual hurdle winner, once for this yard (2m5f, soft); was returning from 1136 days off when tailed off on his chase debut in February and now returns from another absence; stable form bodes well and he's nicely handicapped if as good as he was. |
