20th Jul 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Won on chasing debut in March but hasn't really progressed; well held at Uttoxeter latest (after wind surgery); probably needs the step up in trip (stayed this far over hurdles) to unlock some improvement. |

14th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |

Placed twice off higher marks at about 2m; form has dipped since reappearance and he remains a maiden; enough to prove, including stamina, over this new trip. |

27th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Below par the last twice and particularly disappointing at Taunton last month when making it 0-10; however, perhaps the first-time hood will help and a case can be made judged on his close third at Doncaster (2m, good) last November; also effective on soft ground. |

24th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 145y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
10yo who is inconsistent and hasn't made an impact on her last two starts, but before those she was second at Southwell (2m, good to soft) and is 5lb lower than when second in this last year; not discounted. |

18th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 34y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Hasn't been in the best of form in three runs this season (well-beaten eighth of nine over 2m at Newcastle last week); 4lb out of the handicap; blinkers replace cheekpieces; hard to fancy. |
20/1 |
|
8th 10 |
13th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Improved for cheekpieces last season, winning his last two races, both on soft ground at Market Rasen (2m3f/2m1f) in February/March; not hit form so far this season, but on his last winning mark and stable going better now. |
50/1 |

16th Jan 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 19y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
A longstanding maiden until bagging two soft-ground handicap chases at Market Rasen (extended 2m3f and 2m2f) last February/March; pulled up there six weeks ago when back from eight months off but a return to peak efforts would put him in the mix. |

3rd Jun 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Maiden who is 0-6 since switched to chasing, best effort when second in small field at Catterick three outings back; each-way hopes on that form but he's not solid. |

20th May 2023 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 5 |

12th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Pulled up in first two chases but has fared better on last couple of outings, more recently when staying-on second of five at Catterick (1m7f, good) 12 days ago; a contender here if coping with the slower ground. |

12th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Soundly beaten in a bumper and three maiden/novice hurdles since switched to racing under rules but makes his handicap debut in a low-grade event here, and his promising point debut in 2021 bodes well for his prospects over fences; tongue-tie fitted; market may guide. |

27th Nov 2022 Good To Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Runner-up in a point; has plenty to find on rules form, most recently trailing home last of 16 at Hereford (2m) on debut for new yard. |

8th Nov 2022 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Runner-up in a point; minor form in bumper and novice hurdle last term; has modest claims on the figures but market support would be encouraging on debut for new stable (still with same owner). |

15th Jun 2023 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
