9th May 2023 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Two wins following wind surgery last season, a selling handicap off this mark at Market Rasen (2m, good to soft) and a claiming hurdle here (2m, good to soft); struck into when below best on heavy last time out but a strong contender on best form. |

midfield, niggled along 2nd, dropped to rear before 3rd, pushed along with one circuit to go, not fluent and lost touch 2 out, tailed off, never going well |

Finished in front of Us And Them, who admittedly paid for doing too much in the lead, at Leicester but was a below-par favourite in his bid to win that race for the second year running; 3-6 at claiming/selling level overall and could easily bounce back; has won over C&D. |

27th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 2m 3f 98y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
5-9 over fences, the latest win gained in very strongly run race at Cartmel (2m1f, good) in May; well down the field in two competitive contests since but in calmer waters today and has a fighting chance if back on song. |

20th Jul 2024 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 1 |
12st 0lb |
Flat background; made a successful return to fences (fifth win in this discipline) at Cartmel (2m1f, good) and didn't give himself a chance at Uttoxeter by racing too freely; wouldn't be a certain stayer over this far. |

30th Jun 2024 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 2 |
11st 12lb |
Returned from break with two low-key Flat runs this year but came from behind to win Cartmel chase (2m1f, good) comfortably by 6l when back over jumps last month; was probably flattered by the way that very strongly run race panned out but is now 5-7 over fences (including a C&D win). |

16th Nov 2023 Soft 2m 3f 65y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Had some smart form over fences when trained by Joseph O'Brien including when runner-up in the 2019 Arkle, but not at the same level now and was last seen finishing third of five in a claiming hurdle for Alan Jones at Fakenham (2m, good to soft) in March; makes his debut for another new yard after eight months off and lots to prove. |

17th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 3y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Useful when trained in Ireland; terrible completion record (fences/hurdles) for current yard until he got round in a Leicester claimer last month, tiring after doing too much up front (finished behind Weebill); may improve on that effort granted an economical journey. |

Signed off for Olly Murphy on a downer and he's failed to complete either run for current yard; tongue-tie added but he's readily opposed. |

27th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Last of four finishers in 2m Fakenham claimer for Olly Murphy last month and struggled when back in a handicap for recent stable debut (3m1f); drops back in trip here; not the obvious answer. |

16th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 3m 1f 10y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won twice over 2m4f in small fields at Market Rasen (good/good to soft) last year; similar form in a claiming hurdle one month ago but needs career best to take this; reverts to the cheekpieces he wore twice before blinkered on last two starts; has since changed hands and left Olly Murphy. |

Modicum of promise on hurdling bow in March but little since, and exited early last time; watching brief wisest switching to fences. |

23rd May 2023 Good 1m 7f 171y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Well below best form since returning from long absence this year and was unsteerable before being pulled up at Fakenham in March; due to run at Market Rasen (8.15) last night; others look much less risky. |

Dual 1m2f Flat/AW winner who made all in a mares' novice over C&D (good) two years ago; well beaten in a 2m AW handicap and pulled up after steering issues in a Fakenham claiming hurdle in just two starts since a lengthy absence; big revival needed. |
