9th Nov 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 52y Class 2 |
11st 1lb |
Improving at a rate of knots when last seen in the spring, bringing up his hat-trick on his first attempt over 3m at Taunton (good to soft); won that decisively with the front two clear and hard to grumble with a 6lb rise. |

13th Apr 2023 Good 2m 7f 198y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Chasing a hat-trick after comfortable wins at Exeter and Wincanton last month; untested at 3m but stayed an extended 2m5f at stiffer Exeter well enough; doubt he's handicapped out of things just yet. |

Sound performances over 2m5f on good ground the last twice, finishing a close second here then going one better with an easy success at Exeter; has won on soft going; in top form and commands respect. |

10th Nov 2023 Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Promising fourth on last month's chase and seasonal debut over C&D (good), despite a bad mistake mid-race; this 6yo is open to improvement over fences, especially now back on slow ground (hurdle wins came on soft/heavy); strongly respected for stable with good record in this race. |

24th Oct 2023 Good 3m 0f 54y Class 3 |

All three hurdle wins came at Taunton, the latest when cruising home in an uncompetitive handicap (3m, heavy) in March; disappointed the final time off this 6lb higher mark and now switches to fences; could do with rain. |

Left behind a rare modest effort when good second over 2m7f here last month; effective on good and soft ground and likely to run well again but edging up the handicap without winning, which is no help. |

18th Nov 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 208y Class 2 |
11st 0lb |
In a solid spell from May onwards, including three good-ground wins but also placed on soft and heavy; wore cheekpieces on last two starts, showing career-best form on latest when strong-finishing second of 20 over C&D; up another 3lb but will probably get in the shake-up. |

28th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 208y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Rallied well to lead close home in first-time cheekpieces at Kelso (3m2f, good) last month and is now 5-14 over hurdles; needs to find something extra to overcome latest 3lb rise but enters calculations. |

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. |

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. |

17th Nov 2023 Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Proved hard to catch right as a novice last season and it's not been the best of starts to this campaign, with him beaten 21l at Chepstow (2m3f, heavy) and 40l here (3m, good to soft); tongue-tie added with cheekpieces reapplied. |

28th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 208y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Inconsistent as a novice last season but ran quite well until tiring on heavy ground in competitive Chepstow handicap (2m3f) this month; ought to be better suited by today's conditions and current mark is workable; a possible if suited by the step up in trip. |
40/1 |

Dual hurdle winner who has gone close in a handicap but was well behind Twinjets in his latest race at Kempton in April; perhaps lacks the same potential as that rival and there are others to worry about. |

Flat (useful)/hurdle winner in Ireland; pulled up behind Hititi at Exeter on his stable debut and tailed off on heavy ground here when switched to fences two weeks ago; too much to prove for now. |

30th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 7f 3y Class 4 |

Flat/hurdle winner in Ireland; achieved nothing in a handicap hurdle on debut for new yard; may prove suited by this belated switch to chasing, having shown some promise in points. |

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

Talented at best and second at Cheltenham last December (3m); heavy ground blamed for poor effort on final start for John Joseph Murphy; starts out for new yard on realistic mark if able to show his ability. |
