18th Sep 2024 Good 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Won a Warwick novice handicap chase (2m, soft) off an 8lb higher mark in March 2023; fair run when over hurdles at Bangor in June (2m, good); cheekpieces tried; bit to prove. |

21st Aug 2024 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Generally disappointing since winning chase debut in March 2023 but posted a couple of decent efforts over hurdles in June (albeit a late faller on latter occasion) and reverts to fences with renewed hope. |

28th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Narrow winner off 7lb higher over fences at Warwick (2m, soft) last March; has not matched that form since but he returned to hurdling with a second in C&D novice (good) three weeks ago; was allowed to dictate in that race but that was more like it and he's in the mix back in a handicap; one of two runners for yard. |

27th Jun 2023 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Frustrating performer; 0-15 over fences (placed in nine of them) and pulled up when tried in cheekpieces on latest; first hurdle start since March 2021 and hard to be confident this will be his golden hour. |

17th May 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Longstanding maiden who was disappointing at Exeter last month and it's hard to be confident after that; however, he went there on the back of two good seconds (2m4f/2m, good/soft) and it's possible he'll be able to bounce back in first-time cheekpieces and a reapplied tongue-tie; not written off. |

Won a handicap chase at Catterick for Alistair Ralph in February 2023; pulled up on first two starts for this yard later that year and not seen since; entitled to need this after mammoth layoff. |

19th Oct 2023 Yielding 2m 4f 112y |
11st 7lb |
Sole win over fences in Britain came at Catterick last season; however, tailed off at Ludlow when last seen, has stamina to prove at this trip and probably best watched on yard debut returning from 163 days off (bought for £10,000 in August). |

20th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Runner-up at Plumpton (2m3f, good to soft) in December and respectable fourth in his last two runs but this 13yo is now 1-24 over fences and that win was over two years ago; down the list. |

31st Jan 2025 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Veteran who scored over hurdles here (heavy) in 2019 and broke a long losing run two years ago over fences at Plumpton; no joy since but, even though he's 2lb out of the weights today, he's regularly shown enough to be given a place chance. |

22nd Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 54y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Fair form when second in a couple of 2m maiden hurdles last season; had wind surgery before the first of his three chases this season; below par in two of those but if repeating his Ludlow effort (2m4f, good to soft; penultimate start) he'd have claims; cheekpieces now accompany tongue-tie. |

31st Dec 2022 Soft 2m 0f 54y Class 5 |
12st 2lb |
Didn't hang about over hurdles; hasn't looked a natural over fences but he still ran well to be only 8l away in a 2m4f Ludlow handicap a month ago; dropping back to 2m at a track where the fences come up fast might test him. |
14/1 |

30th Nov 2022 Good To Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Just five starts and twice runner-up over hurdles at the end of last year; tailed off on this month's chasing debut at Warwick (11-4), after wind surgery and nine months off; even allowing for that experience being needed, it takes a leap of faith to offer support. |

21st Apr 2023 Good 2m 1f 109y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Having only his second run over fences when a clearcut winner over C&D last October; shown nothing since then but he's not on a bad mark if wind surgery has done the trick. |

22nd Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 54y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Built on some promise from his chasing debut to break his duck at the second attempt, at Exeter (2m1f, good to firm) last October, when 5lb lower; well below par in two starts at Ludlow (both 2m, sound surface) since; returns after having had wind surgery for a second time. |

7th Dec 2022 Good To Firm 1m 7f 201y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Mixed bag in three chasing efforts; lacked fluency on debut but showed the benefit of that when winning in good style at Exeter in October; hot favourite at Ludlow since but jumping let him down again; strong claims on the winning display and perhaps the return to a stiff track can help. |
