26th Jun 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Not an easy one to predict but seemed to respond positively to first-time cheekpieces when rallying second at Warwick (3m, good) in May; still unexposed over staying trips; big player if headgear continues to aid. |

10st 5lb |
2m4f winner (good) over both hurdles and fences; back on last winning mark but plenty to prove based on his last four starts. |

27th Jun 2023 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Frustrating performer; 0-15 over fences (placed in nine of them) and pulled up when tried in cheekpieces on latest; first hurdle start since March 2021 and hard to be confident this will be his golden hour. |

17th May 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Longstanding maiden who was disappointing at Exeter last month and it's hard to be confident after that; however, he went there on the back of two good seconds (2m4f/2m, good/soft) and it's possible he'll be able to bounce back in first-time cheekpieces and a reapplied tongue-tie; not written off. |

Won off 5lb higher over C&D (good) in May 2023 but absent since Hereford second that October and entitled to benefit from this run. |

5th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 199y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
300-1 for all three maiden hurdles and showed very little; 4lb out of the weights, as she is today, when 100-1 for her handicap/chase debut at Warwick (2m4f, good) nine days ago and beaten 37l; no form claims. |

24th Feb 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

300-1 for all three maiden hurdles and has shown very little; this is more realistic but is 4lb wrong on her handicap/chase debut. |

15th Jan 2024 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Point/bumper winner; left Oliver Sherwood's yard for £6,000 in May after a loss of form; favourite on debut for Ben Pauling in a 2m handicap chase at Lingfield (good to soft) but went off too hard and was pulled up; tongue-tie tried that day is joined by a hood, which could settle him down. |

30th Nov 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Point and bumper winner who showed promise on his hurdle debut in May 2021; a market check is advised on stable debut (for which he wears a first-time tongue-tie), having been bought out of Oliver Sherwood's yard for £6,000 in May, but it's a long time since he showed any worthwhile form. |

24th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 136y Class 5 |
12st 6lb |
Rampant in sub-3m good-ground hurdle races and chases last summer, and has the beating of Yippee Ki Yay on a line through Macklin, whom he trounced at Exeter last time (3m, good); still fairly lightly raced over this sort of trip, and drying forecast rates a big plus. |

7th Apr 2026 Good 3m 0f 54y Class 4 |
12st 6lb |
Bought out of Olly Murphy's yard for £26,000; on the retreat but had run well when falling three out at Taunton in January and was close up behind respected opposition in his latest point; could go well. |

14th Oct 2025 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Kicked off for this yard with three wins in handicap chases and added a 2m4f novice hurdle at Worcester; not sure what happened back there last time in a handicap hurdle but it wasn't his true form; does have to carry a penalty. |

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. |

24th Feb 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Bumper/Flat winner; not ruled out on his best efforts now he's dropped right down the weights but is a longstanding maiden over jumps and made it 0-12 over fences when falling at Lingfield in December. |
14/1 |

5th Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 7f 110y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Last won in 2017 (Flat); 0-24 over fences but runner-up in five of them, including on first two starts last season; ended last term over hurdles and it's eyecatching that he is now 11lb lower than in his latest chase (three starts back); unexposed over this sort of trip; strongly considered each-way. |
