27th Nov 2024 Soft 2m 3f 154y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Inconsistent last season and down the field on this month's reappearance at Carlisle; however, he may have needed the run and has dropped below his last winning mark; he's one to consider. |

20th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 3f 203y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Won at Taunton (2m2f, good to soft) on first two chase starts and, after two lesser runs, this prominent-racer was back on song when beaten just a neck at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) three weeks ago; can make another bold bid. |

2nd 4 |
29th Feb 2024 Soft 2m 3f 85y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Won at Taunton (2m2f, good to soft) this season on first two chase starts; underwhelming the last twice (2m4f, soft/good to soft; switched to hold-up tactics most recently) and needs to raise his game but this 7yo should get back on track at some point. |

24th Sep 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Has unconvincing record over fences but ran well to a point at Worcester (2m4f, good) in July, after a break, and has become well handicapped on hurdling form; suited by good and soft ground; one to consider. |
8/1 |

25th Jul 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Yet to match his hurdle form in four chase runs, the best of them when wearing cheekpieces in January; not seen since pulling up in April behind Duke Of Luckley when again his jumping lacked fluency; on a good mark and cheekpieces return but he has a bit to prove at present. |

23rd Apr 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |

Yet to match his hurdle form in three chase runs, the best of them coming when wearing cheekpieces (absent today) in January; dangerous mark but needs to brush up his jumping. |

0-7 but he's getting there and was only denied on the post at Huntingdon (2m3f, good) two months ago; looks a player off 4lb higher. |

11th May 2023 Good 2m 3f 137y Class 4 |

Looked promising when keeping on well for second in Uttoxeter maiden (2m, good to soft) in January but both subsequent handicap runs (2m3f/2m5f) have been underwhelming; still has plenty of time to do better but others appeal more here. |

Had a break since latest 21l defeat at Cartmel, which was only three days after finishing a close third there; this mark is manageable but Cartmel suits and his record here isn't great. |

Returned from break with ready win on stable debut at Stratford (2m6f, good) in June and didn't really have the race run to suit when beaten favourite on latest outing; remains very much of interest. |

Returned from break with ready win on stable debut at Stratford (2m6f, good) on Saturday and is now 2-13 over hurdles; carries 7lb penalty here but is due to go up by that amount anyway; obvious contender. |

16th Dec 2023 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Current mark reads well next to his peak efforts of 2021-22 but he's often keen, as when a remote third on his switch to fences at Huntingdon (2m4f); bit risky. |

3rd 8 |
14th Nov 2023 Good 2m 3f 189y Class 5 |

Unimproved for the application of cheekpieces (retained) when last seen in July, albeit refusing to settle; current mark looks good next to his peak efforts of 2021-22, including at this sort of trip, and smattering of chase winners in pedigree offers hope ahead of this switch to fences. |

Ex-Irish 7yo; returns after 608 days off but he was runner-up in C&D handicap (soft) on penultimate run and he's lightly raced for his age; needs watching in market. |
