10th Nov 2023 Soft 2m 1f 109y Class 1 |
10st 10lb |
Last season went well, producing career-best form in winning the Grade 2 Pendil Chase at Kempton (2m4f, good; fine on soft) in February before his only blip all campaign at Sandown; excellent jumper who goes well fresh and his trainer always targets this race (won it eight times). |

29th Apr 2023 Good 2m 6f 164y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Launched his season with a win here in November and, following wind surgery, he was mighty impressive in enhancing his trainer's remarkable record in the Grade 2 Pendil Chase at Kempton (2m4f, good) when his jumping out in front was a joy to behold (form was franked last weekend); has something to find on the figures but he's been in career-best form and is dangerously fresh; seems fine on all ground. |

25th Feb 2023 Good 2m 4f 110y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Has returned better than ever this season, winning comfortably on his Sandown reappearance and has posted the same RPR of 148 in his subsequent defeats (also handicaps); has a bit to find on the figures with Boothill but not a lot and he ran well after his previous wind operation; stable seeking a 15th success in this race. |

2nd Dec 2023 Good To Soft 3m 1f 214y Class 1 |
10st 7lb |
Unraced beyond an extended 2m4f and this is a tough race in which to test his stamina; however, he was strong at the finish when winning a Grade 2 novice at Ayr (2m4f, good) in April and may well have staying potential; might have needed his reappearance in the Old Roan and is not ruled out. |

29th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 200y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
Consistent novice chaser last season, apart from a blip at the Cheltenham Festival (soft); bagged Grade 2 honours at Ayr (2m4f, good; form boosted since) on final start; could well show further progress this term; major contender. |

25th Nov 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 167y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Has a record of 3-3 in handicap chases, including two notable wins over C&D, namely in this race last year (good) and the Byrne Group on reappearance (soft), latter by 4l; open to further progress and gives the impression he'll cope with this career-high mark; highly respected. |

4th Nov 2023 Soft 2m 0f 167y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Strong traveller who was penalised and didn't get home over 2m4f when a beaten favourite on final run in February; things had clicked in a big way prior to that, with his 2m Grade 2 win at Kempton (soft) flanked by seconds to top-notchers Jonbon and Tommy's Oscar; 2-2 in handicap chases (including C&D) and peak RPRs suggest this mark is not beyond him. |
7/2 |

25th Feb 2023 Good 2m 4f 110y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Things have clicked in a big way over fences this season; beat the Betfair Hurdle winner in a 2m Grade 2 here over Christmas and that effort is flanked by respectable efforts behind top-notchers Jonbon and Tommy's Oscar (latterly on good ground); faces nothing of their calibre here and returning to 2m4f shouldn't be a problem; solid claims despite the penalty. |

11st 2lb |
Won towards the end of last year on first two chase starts (2m4f, good to soft) and kept on for creditable fourth in Cheltenham handicap (2m4f, good) in April when last seen; has had wind op since; improvement needed on reappearance but she's only six and could appreciate this first crack at 3m. |

Won over C&D (good) in first-time cheekpieces in February and doubled chasing tally at Market Rasen (2m1f, good to soft) in April; not quite able to reel in Mercian Prince over C&D on latest outing in May but drew nicely clear of the others and was nudged up only another 1lb for that run. |
