Ridden by Ben Sutton on last five starts; rallied to dead-heat for first at Ffos Las (3m, heavy) last month in his second handicap but tailed off at Exeter 17 days ago; needs to resume improvement. |

2nd Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 118y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Had a tremendous run since November, winning five from six starts and the defeat very strong form, with the winner landing a hat-trick after; latest two wins at 3m (soft/heavy), doing well to hang on to a dead-heat after making most at Ffos Las 11 days ago; up a further 5lb but has another big run in him if this doesn't come too soon. |

23rd Mar 2023 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |

Fine run of form this winter, a winning streak interrupted only by one who has won all three starts since, at Exeter in January; has since beaten another subsequent winner at Wetherby (3m, soft) and although up a further 6lb he is still going the right way; due to run 5.00 Ffos Las Wednesday. |

3rd Dec 2022 Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 4 |

Showed promise in three maiden/novice hurdles early this year; RPR of 108 in all those runs but he was well below that form when fifth here (2m3f, good to soft) on his return last month; still early days but he needs improvement upped to 3m on handicap debut. |

Four point wins; rather becalmed despite dropping in the weights this year but his latest fourth over C&D in March (heavy; first-time cheekpieces, retained) came in a better race than this; should have a say. |

8th May 2023 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
1-7 over hurdles, the win gained at Ffos Las (3m, good) in March; never got involved at Exeter 17 days ago but last year's promising Irish point debut bodes well for his prospects over fences. |

21st Apr 2023 Good 2m 7f 25y Class 5 |

Running in only his second handicap when narrowly winning a Class 5 at Ffos Las (3m, good) and softer conditions probably a factor when not as good next time; only 4lb higher than for his win. |

Multiple hurdle winner (various ground) when trained by Neil Mulholland but badly out of form over fences/hurdles for Peter Bowen this autumn; refitted cheekpieces didn't do much for her two starts ago; sports first-time visor today; has a lot to prove but lurks on a dangerous mark and is worth a glance in the betting. |

Back off the same mark as when winning at Taunton (3m, soft) in March last year, but well beaten in both completed starts since returning in November and needs a resurgence; unraced on ground faster than good to soft. |

30th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 7f 198y Class 3 |

Successful in a couple of Class 5 handicaps last term, including over C&D; has a question mark over current form, based on his two runs this season, and has something to prove in this grade. |

Runner-up twice over 2m7f in the mud late in 2020 and she'd be a player on that form, but she has returned from a long absence with three disappointing runs this year (2m5f-3m; cheekpieces added last time); now tries blinkers. |

4th Apr 2023 Soft 2m 1f 162y Class 5 |

Runner-up twice over 2m7f on slow ground towards end of 2020 but has returned from a long absence with three disappointing runs this year (2m5f-3m; cheekpieces added last time) and it's questionable whether today's drop in trip will suit. |
