13th Feb 2025 Soft 1m 7f 201y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Two chase wins wins at 2m1f (good to soft and soft) in early 2024; back on latest winning mark as a result of some lesser efforts, in cheekpieces last twice, but has something to prove at present. |

11st 3lb |
18-race maiden; some fair form, including last time when third over 2m2f here (good); back after a break on this stable debut with no headgear (has been tried in cheekpieces and a tongue-tie); probably best watched. |

25th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Downed an odds-on favourite when recording 33-1 win at Chepstow (2m Class 5 conditionals' handicap hurdle; soft) two starts ago but weakened tamely in a Stratford seller subsequently; has won over fences in the past, including here (2m), but couldn't be a confident choice. |

23rd Mar 2023 Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Placed in modest Ludlow claimer (2m, good to soft) in first-time visor in November but ought to have been suited by the heavy ground when pulled up in a handicap next time and has become very unreliable. |

9th May 2023 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Two wins following wind surgery last season, a selling handicap off this mark at Market Rasen (2m, good to soft) and a claiming hurdle here (2m, good to soft); struck into when below best on heavy last time out but a strong contender on best form. |

midfield, niggled along 2nd, dropped to rear before 3rd, pushed along with one circuit to go, not fluent and lost touch 2 out, tailed off, never going well |

17th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 3y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Finished in front of Us And Them, who admittedly paid for doing too much in the lead, at Leicester but was a below-par favourite in his bid to win that race for the second year running; 3-6 at claiming/selling level overall and could easily bounce back; has won over C&D. |

31st Jan 2023 Soft 2m 0f 75y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Runner-up on two of five starts for Jake Coulson, losing out only by a nose at Southwell (2m4f, good; first-time visor) in September; can probably cope with this drop back in trip but not seen since running very poorly three months ago; cheekpieces back on. |

12th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Hurdle/chase winner who is not as good as he was but retains some ability; modest fourth of six in a handicap hurdle at Market Rasen (2m7f, good) 19 days ago, form which gives him something to find here. |

Caused 25-1 surprise in first-time cheekpieces at Stratford (2m2f, good) this summer but was well beaten on her next outing and refused to race at Southwell three weeks ago; others look much safer. |
