11st 9lb |
8lb out of the weights on his penultimate run but could still have done more and then again disappointing over 3m at Uttoxeter (soft); it's all gone a bit pear-shaped since bringing up a hat-trick last year. |

He's been inconsistent this year but ran well for a long way at Cheltenham (3m1f, good; won same race last year) last month when back from a three-month break; he could improve for that outing and is just 2lb higher than when winning at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in April; not ruled out. |

Took a big step back in the right direction at Warwick (2m5f, good) last month when having second run since wind surgery and wearing first-time blinkers (retained); clear possibilities if building on that effort; won at Bangor last spring. |

25th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 7y Class 5 |

0-6 over hurdles and not bred to benefit from today's step up in trip, but made the frame in two 2m5f handicaps last month and has each-way claims if his stamina holds out. |

3rd 5 |

Yet to be placed after eight runs but kept on for very respectable fourth (about 12l behind Mole Court) at Warwick (2m5f, good) two weeks ago and remains unexposed over this sort of trip. |

22nd Apr 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 5y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Below best over hurdles this season and has made inauspicious start to chasing career this spring; seems versatile regarding ground but is yet to convince stamina-wise over 3m; not the percentage call. |

8th Apr 2023 Heavy 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |

Both hurdle wins gained on soft; not at his best this season and finished some way behind Kap Chidley when both made their chasing debuts at Chepstow last month; work to do, therefore. |

Dual chase winner last November but he's lost his way over fences and hurdles since the turn of the year; on a good mark if the first-time visor has a positive effect. |

24th Sep 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Dual chase winner on ground slower than good last November (2m6f/2m7f) but seems badly to have lost his way (over fences and hurdles) since the turn of the year; leap of faith required to support him today. |

15th May 2023 Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |

Inconsistent last season but made winning handicap hurdle debut in January and was creditable second to progressive rival on last month's chasing debut at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft); open to improvement over today's longer trip and a big player if on her mettle again again. |

Hard to work up enthusiasm for what he achieved in novice hurdles but he won his only point completion last winter and this modest event could be a ripe plum for picking now he goes handicapping up in trip. |
