Pulled up in three consecutive chases for Tim Vaughan last year and there was no revival when he switched back to hurdling in new headgear for new stable last month; blinkers refitted today. |

20th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 5f 137y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Made a bright start to last year with a good second over C&D on New Year's Day, but his form has taken a marked downturn since and recent efforts have been poor; new headgear needs to spark a revival. |

30th Jan 2026 Heavy 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Won on soft ground at Fontwell in a hurdle race in 2021 and a 3m2f chase in 2023; however, there was an echo of that in only one (runner-up in January last year) of his eight starts for current yard. |

7th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Belied triple-digit odds when second over hurdles here (2m5f, soft) on seasonal debut in January but two disappointing runs have followed and it's hard to know what to expect from him on this return to fences; refitted blinkers replace cheekpieces. |

28th Apr 2023 Good 3m 2f 54y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Fitted with a tongue-tie on last two starts when staying-on fourth of 15 here (3m, soft) and winning at Newton Abbot (3m2f, soft) 16 days later; fortunate in the latter, as the clear leader fell two out, but she's back up only 1lb and brings far more positives than most of these. |

8th Apr 2023 Heavy 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Fitted with a tongue-tie, first sign of promise over fences when staying on from the rear for fourth at Chepstow (3m, soft) 16 days ago, with the reopposing Galop Du Bosc just under 2l ahead in second; this longer trip should suit on that evidence; considered. |

Six-race maiden who didn't look very enthusiastic when well beaten in two chases during the winter (2m4f/2m6f); tongue-tie added today; significant improvement required. |

No serious impact in his bumper, five hurdle races or two chases; showed some ability on penultimate start but tailed off over C&D on latest after 627 days off; now 12lb lower than on handicap debut. |

23rd Mar 2023 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won over hurdles on seasonal debut at Bangor (2m7f, soft; first-time cheekpieces) in November and ran well for a long way when fifth on last month's chasing debut at Lingfield (2m7f, good; first-time blinkers); didn't look to be going that well before falling at Ffos Las recently but still has low mileage and enters calculations; cheekpieces back on today. |

Came good over hurdles on seasonal debut at Bangor (2m7f, soft; first-time cheekpieces) in November and ran well for a long way when fifth on last month's chasing debut at Lingfield (2m7f, good; first-time blinkers); still has low mileage; shortlisted. |

Returned after wind surgery with a hurdle win at Bangor (2m7f, soft; off 5lb lower) in November but he failed to back that up when tailed off at Ffos Las last month; still lightly raced but has something to prove again on this switch to fences; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces. |

Point winner (3m maiden); 0-29 under rules; runner-up to today's rival Barrakhov over 3m here (good) last month; raised 4lb since, albeit is 1lb better off with Barrakhov; fair chance. |

15th Jun 2024 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |

23rd Mar 2023 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |

27-race maiden who was unable to land a significant blow at Ffos Las (3m, good) this month; ought to cope with today's slower ground but needs a significant boost from the change of headgear. |

18th Mar 2024 Soft 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Showed some fair form over fences last term, notably when second in a Uttoxeter handicap off 17lb higher in December 2022 (3m, heavy); pulled up on all three starts this season, the latest when having first run after a wind op when headgear was tried (didn't jump well); no headgear here but hard to fancy despite good mark. |

Maiden; ran well at Uttoxeter (3m, heavy) on chase debut but form has gone downhill since, pulled up in both runs this term; combination of wind surgery and first-time visor needs to help. |

23rd Mar 2023 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Fell in two of his first three chases but ran big race in defeat when close/clear second at Taunton (3m2f, good to soft) in between and may still have potential; can't be ruled out. |

31st Jan 2023 Soft 3m 1f 60y Class 5 |

Perhaps travelled a bit too well for his own good when beaten narrowly on his second chase start at Taunton (3m2f, good to soft), finishing clear of the remainder; an 8lb rise seems harsh but he's considered nonetheless. |

23rd Mar 2023 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |

Lightly raced in recent years; has form over C&D and proved he retains ability when keeping on for modest third at Lingfield (2m6f, heavy) in December but younger rivals appeal more all the same. |

Won by 47l in first-time cheekpieces here (3m2f, heavy) just over a year ago; well below that form this season but didn't run badly over 3m2f here (good; behind Tudors Treasure) in first-time blinkers last month and today's slower ground is in his favour. |

25th Feb 2023 Good 3m 2f 54y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Galloped rivals into the ground when winning a division of this 12 months ago (heavy; first-time cheekpieces) but the boot has been on the other foot this winter and he again ran moderately last time (first-time tongue-tie, now left off); ringing the changes with blinkers but has much to prove. |

Four-time chase winner but not since January 2021 and has regressed in the meantime; made a lot of the running when placed off today's career-low mark at Hereford (3m1f, soft) in January but others have more persuasive profiles; swaps visor for refitted blinkers; tongue-tie refitted. |

4th Jan 2023 Soft 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |

Won five times between January 2020-January 2021 but no success since and has rather lost his way (tailed off on return in November); won this in 2020 but only sixth last year (now 21lb lower); needs a revival. |

Four-time chase winner (3m-3m2f) on soft/heavy ground but his last success was in January 2021 and he was out of form last season; now 10lb lower than for his last win but has something to prove back from 222 days off; stablemate of Ring The Moon. |

10st 2lb |
0-11 under rules; kept on well for second over fences at Fakenham (3m, good) in April and didn't run badly on soft ground last month, but makes only limited appeal on this return to hurdling; 1lb wrong; tongue-tie added. |

17th Jul 2024 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 5 |

Fell on his first two attempts over fences, but had the race at his mercy at Newton Abbot (3m2f, soft; from 3lb higher) on the second occasion; has failed to sparkle since - usually labouring in rear - although there was a glimmer of spark at Fakenham over Easter. |

1st Apr 2024 Good 3m 0f 38y Class 5 |

Unlucky not to open his account at Newton Abbot (3m2f, soft) just under a year ago and ran well when fourth at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) on Boxing Day, after a layoff, but was struggling from fairly early stage at Chepstow in January and can't be supported with any confidence after that. |
