11-84; runner-up at Carlisle (1m, soft; joint-favourite) in July on last turf appearance; 0-4 on AW (1m-1m2f) since, not doing enough to suggest his turn is near; blinkers are added on this attempt for first win since April 2023. |

Just 2-44 and mostly well beaten during the last 12 months, with the exception of a second at Chelmsford in February (1m2f); opposable. |

5th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 2f 42y Class 3 |
9st 4lb |
She's on a competitive mark on last year's best form and kicked off this campaign with an encouraging run at Newmarket, but she flopped at York in June last time (1m2f, good to soft; upset in stalls) and it's hard to be overly confident on the back of that. |

Acts on any ground and was beaten less than 2l when seventh of 17 on last month's Newmarket reappearance (1m, good), but she is still 6lb above her last winning mark and 1m2f just appears to stretch her. |

10st 0lb |
Having dropped down the weights he returned to form with a neck second at Southwell (1m, Tapeta) three weeks ago; has also run well on Polytrack; can be in the mix back up 3lb if producing another good run. |

Dead-heated in 8.6f Wolverhampton novice in April but became very disappointing during the summer; suffered heavy defeat when tried in blinkers (now removed) this month; needs to turn a corner. |

On the downgrade since returning from eight months off and is now 13lb lower than when winning early last year; the drop from 1m should help, given a go in a second-time visor, but others are more likely. |

Both course wins have come over 1m, but he is just as effective over shorter trips and has dropped 9lb lower than when gaining his latest success at Kempton (6f, Polytrack) just over a year ago; not at his best in four starts since returning from 228 days off in November, though. |

11st 4lb |
Had plenty of racing on the Flat and won twice over 1m2f on soft ground; will need to run better than on his hurdling debut at Taunton (2m, good; 40-1). |

29th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 1m 2f 43y Class 5 |
9st 11lb |
Suited by 1m2f on soft or heavy but he didn't seem his old self in 2024 and was well adrift on a recent hurdle debut; has been given a chance at the weights, so a change in his fortunes can't be discounted. |

13th Jun 2023 Standard 1m 0f 13y Class 5 |
9st 10lb |
Turf winner (8.5f, soft) for R Hannon as a 2yo; missed 2022; his two best efforts for new yard have come over 7f at Wolverhampton; chance if at that level but he's been below par the last twice. |
8/1 |

24th May 2023 Good To Firm 0m 7f 3y Class 5 |
9st 7lb |
Winner on soft ground for Richard Hannon as a 2yo before missing a chunk of his career; hasn't had a lot of luck with one thing and another on the AW this year and returns to turf on a fair mark if the first-time headgear helps. |
6/1 |

7th 6 (11) |
13th May 2023 Standard 0m 7f 1y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Below best over 1m on sole Polytrack start but in good form over 7f either side and found only a very interesting rival too good at Wolverhampton ten days ago; should be right there if handling this surface as well. |
