21st Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 52y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Has been racking up the places since completing a hat-trick two years ago, a sure sign that he's high in the weights; however, again ran well at Exeter (2m7f, good to soft) last time and finished just ahead of last week's Pertemps Final runner-up Jeriko Du Reponet; raised another 2lb for that but he's very solid. |

9th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 25y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Completed a hat-trick in spring 2023 but has been chalking up the seconds since; two of those have been at this track in this race last year and a 3m chase on penultimate start (has worn cheekpieces this term); form dipped at Windsor latest and he's probably vulnerable if back on song for this return to hurdling. |

11st 3lb |
All three wins over hurdles were at Taunton, latest over 3m on heavy in March 2023; chasing last term and ended his time with the Hobbs/White stable on some low notes; pulled up after an early error over fences (0-6 in that sphere) 12 days ago on stable/seasonal debut; well treated on best efforts. |

Three-time hurdle winner; yet build upon last autumn's promising chase debut for the Hobbs/White stable and has been absent since March but is on a good mark for today's stable debut; cheekpieces removed. |

9th Nov 2024 Good 2m 5f 82y Class 2 |

Seemed to respond well to first-time cheekpieces when winning over C&D (good) in pretty good style in April but was pulled up the following month and has become quite tricky to predict; had wind op during six-month break. |

Inconsistent but she returned to form with a convincing win in first-time cheekpieces at Wincanton (2m5f, good) three weeks ago; she'll have no problem with the step up in trip; contender if the headgear maintains its effect. |

11st 4lb |
Scored off today's mark in first-time cheekpieces at Kelso (3m2f, good) in September and also has a C&D success on his CV but has not been firing on all cylinders this year (with and without headgear). |

1st Jun 2024 Good To Soft 3m 2f 83y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Was entitled to run better than he did back on good ground at Haydock three weeks ago (3m) but that was a strong race; last season's peaks (at 3m2f/3m) bring him right into it off this mark. |

11th May 2024 Good 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |

Well beaten over C&D (soft) last time; he can be effective on soft/heavy going but better ground may be preferable and he's very much of interest on his fine efforts last autumn, when winning at Kelso (3m2f, good) and finishing second of 20 at Cheltenham (3m, good to soft); on the shortlist. |

10th Mar 2023 Good 2m 5f 137y Class 3 |

Has performed reasonably in three hurdling starts since returning from a spell chasing, the latest over 2m7f here two weeks ago; tendency to race keenly a negative and only hurdle win came more than two years ago. |

3rd Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |

Won chase debut in December 2021; not so good since but the handicapper has reacted and this season's form (back over hurdles on latest start) suggests that he has a place chance. |

27th May 2026 Good 2m 5f 122y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Has patchy profile but he's well handicapped on his Taunton second (2m3f, good) in December and he may have needed his reappearance run at Hereford this month; this step back up in trip is no problem and he's one to keep an eye on for in-form yard. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Has become hard to predict, as his 16l fourth at Taunton (2m3f, good) in January would suggest, having failed to back up a decent effort there the previous month; back on his last winning mark and could play a leading role if at his best. |
7/2 |

24th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Won big-field handicap off today's mark here (2m5f, good to soft) in November 2023 and was creditable sixth of 25 at Punchestown festival (2m3f, yielding) in April but his record between those two runs if very mixed and he's not an easy one to predict. |
