Disappointing favourite returned to chasing last time, extending her losing run; nicely treated on best form but chance largely depends on how well she responds to new headgear. |

11th Sep 2025 Good 3m 0f 10y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
C&D winner in May on his second start for James Owen and was holding his form until heavy defeats in his final two races; now on a recovery mission. |

29th Aug 2025 Good 3m 1f 210y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Scored at Uttoxeter (3m, good) in May, his second start for James Owen, and ran big race when clear second to thriving opponent at Cartmel (3m1f, soft) in June; needs to bounce back from last month's duff effort at Market Rasen but still features prominently in calculations. |

Looked a hard ride when second at Bangor (3m, good) but travelled sweeter with the blinkers back on at Cartmel (3m1f, soft) and just missed out; nudged up another 3lb but has to be respected. |

17th Jul 2024 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Still searching for first win (0-15) with form levels having dipped fractionally since finishing runner-up at Stratford (2m2f, good) in May; stays further than this and seems to handle soft ground; outside place claims. |

18th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
0-10 over hurdles but ran big race from the front before succumbing to resurgent rival here (2m2f, good) last month, and his subsequent Newton Abbot sixth was perfectly respectable; one to consider. |
4/1 |

5th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 5 |

Exposed maiden but gave it a good go from the front at Southwell last month (2m2f, good) against a winner who was completing a double and has run well again since; solid candidate. |

Four career starts and beaten over 40l in two completions over hurdles; not obviously appealing on handicap debut; now tongue tied. |

Four career starts and beaten over 40l in two completions over hurdles; not obviously appealing on handicap debut but shapes as if she has some ability and a tongue-strap might enable her to show more. |

25th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 3 |

Well beaten on all three starts and will have more realistic claims in handicaps, for which she'll be qualified after this run. |

Pulled up on final two starts for Philip Kirby and also failed to complete both races for new stable this spring; 2lb out of the weights here and it takes a big leap of faith to support him. |

25th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Pulled up in sole point-to-point in November 2021 then absent until soundly beaten at Ayr (2m4f, good to soft) 11 days ago; in good hands and is open to improvement, but a swift and sizeable step forward is needed here. |

Second foal from a dam who was placed on the Flat in France; pulled up in Irish point won by high-class novice hurdler Hermes Allen on debut in November 2021 and not seen again since but may yet have a good future. |

Second foal; dam unplaced bumpers/2m-2m4f hurdles, out of half-sister to 2m4f-3m2f hurdle/chase winner Fox In The Box (RPR 131); makes debut in a race lacking depth but may be best watched. |
