26th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 5f 137y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Made the frame in two heavy-ground bumpers (one here) in early part of last year but has shown only minor promise over hurdles this season and needs to improve to pose a significant threat in this. |

18th Feb 2023 Good 2m 3f 58y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Made the frame in two heavy-ground bumpers in early part of last year and bettered low-key hurdle debut when keeping-on fifth at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) in October; however, faces a very tough task here. |

Very nearly won an Exeter bumper 13 months ago and his second run over hurdles was better than the first, though was still beaten about 15l; looks ready for this longer trip. |

11st 13lb |
Triple chase winner last season (2m3f/2m4f); out of form over fences this term and not yet proven over this far but steadied the ship with two novice hurdle seconds in cheekpieces last month (2m/2m5f) and now reverts to chasing on a good mark. |

16th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 5f 82y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Began hurdling career with two very promising runs at start of this year (2m) but was turned over at very short odds on next outing (2m2f) and underperformed when upped to 2m5f three weeks ago; needs a boost from the first-time cheekpieces on today's handicap debut. |

3rd 2 |
26th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 5f 137y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Won soft-ground Sandown bumper last season and has made the frame on all three hurdling starts this term; turned over at very short odds when second of four here (2m2f, good) last month and moves up in trip with a point to prove, but his earlier form makes him a leading contender. |

4th Nov 2023 Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 1 |
10st 12lb |
Dual chase winner (2m1f/2m6f) in the mud in France in spring 2022 and placed in a Grade 3 that June; returned to hurdling for British debut this March and was well held, but early days for this 5yo. |

Dual chase winner on slow ground in France last year (2m1f/2m6f) and subsequently placed in a Grade 2; returned to hurdling for today's British debut and not an easy horse to weigh up but evidently has a lot of ability. |

2nd Dec 2023 Good 3m 2f 1y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Good second in this race on last season's reappearance outing and now 7lb below that mark but not much has gone to plan since; well beaten over hurdles on latest start five weeks ago; needs to turn a corner. |

29th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 2m 5f 82y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
Runner-up over fences in November (3m2f, good) first time out last season; well below form in his three runs afterwards, returned to hurdling for a novice event in March when last seen; tongue-tie (absent last term) returns; well treated judged on his better efforts. |

3rd 10 |
10th May 2023 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Kept on from unlikely position to take 80-1 second here (2m3f, good) last month, his fourth start over hurdles; posed no threat to the clear winner and the value of the form is open to question but, nevertheless, there's a chance he can snatch another minor prize today. |
20/1 |

2nd 5 |
21st Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 49y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Showed promise in his second bumper in December 2020 but, after more than two years off, he's struggled at big prices in three hurdle runs (2m/2m5f) this year; easy to look elsewhere. |
