13th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Three wins from five starts over hurdles and he made it 2-2 in points when making all at Larkhill (3m) on his comeback in December; had tough task in Grade 2 on only previous run over regulation fences and he's respected on this hunter chase debut; his three rules wins have been on good to soft/soft. |

Beaten at 5-2, 10-11 and 13-8 on his three starts, and no match for the first two when third on last month's handicap debut here (2m3f, soft); however, he's in top hands and things may click in a big way at some point. |

8th Oct 2024 Good 2m 3f 137y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Out of form earlier in the year and offered little when fitted with blinkers on last month's reappearance; cheekpieces the chosen headgear here and, although he's become well handicapped, he has plenty to prove. |

21st Aug 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Well handicapped on some of his 2022-23 season form but ended last year with two poor efforts and was soundly beaten on both outings this spring; blinkered for this first attempt beyond 2m5f; revival needed. |

27th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Well beaten when upped to 2m5f at Kempton (soft) last month but today's race is much easier and his fourth at Sandown (2m, good to soft) in February makes him of significant interest. |

18th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Out of half-sister to Presenting; made respectable bumper debut and plenty of promise in never-nearer fourth on hurdle debut at Sandown in February (2m, good to soft) where better-fancied stablemate was runner-up; can improve for this longer trip but Issuing Authority looks the yard's main hope. |
12/1 |

16th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 216y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Stablemate of Immortal; showed some promise in Wincanton bumper (1m7f, good to soft) on Boxing Day, finishing sixth of 17; half-brother to two winners over jumps; open to improvement and could go well. |

17th Apr 2026 Good To Firm 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
C&D (good to soft) and 3m chase winner (good) who is back on that last winning chase mark; has been better in this discipline and is on a handy mark but was unable to take advantage over C&D latest. |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |

Won over C&D in 2023 and was also successful over fences last spring but has not been firing on all cylinders this season and is inconsistent nowadays too. |

14th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 5f 82y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Record of 1-10 over hurdles and has the same strike-rate over fences; his last success was in a chase handicap at Warwick (3m, good) last April but he's not matched that form since and was tailed off at Exeter last time; comes with risks attached after a break and his last hurdle run was 12 months ago. |

8th Dec 2023 Soft 1m 7f 216y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Easy win on his handicap and seasonal debut at Wincanton (1m7f, soft) in October and readily followed up off the same mark at Plumpton (2m, good to soft) eight days later, when forced to switch; hit with 12lb rise but could still be ahead of the handicapper. |

Displayed significant improvement on seasonal/handicap debut at Wincanton (1m7f, soft) eight days ago, drawing clear to win quite comfortably by 10l; escapes a penalty here and commands respect. |

18th Oct 2025 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
7yo who won off 2lb higher at Uttoxeter (3m2f, soft) last summer; has not gone on from that in only four runs since but he ran well for a long way at Fontwell (3m2f) last month and has claims if he can build on that. |

22nd Sep 2025 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Scored at Uttoxeter (3m2f, soft) off this mark in July last year, but well held following ten-month break when fifth of seven finishers at Worcester (2m7f, good) last month; has work to do. |

31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Pulled up at Hereford (3m1f, good) last October and absent since; however, he won at Uttoxeter (3m2f, soft) last July and it will be interesting to see how he goes in the betting on his return; may want slow ground. |

24th Oct 2024 Good To Yielding 2m 0f 125y |
10st 10lb |
Early promise in a Sedgefield bumper when trained by Christian Williams and while he hasn't shone over hurdles so far, he's worth a market check on first start for Philip Rothwell. |

14th Feb 2024 Good To Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Soundly beaten in three 2m novice hurdles last season and makes handicap debut after a one-year absence but remains very unexposed and market support will make him of interest. |
