14th Feb 2025 Good 2m 0f 3y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Won maiden hurdle for Chris Gordon in spring 2023 but returned from long absence with two very disappointing handicap runs for new stable this season; drops in grade here and may be aided by the refitted tongue-tie but needs to prove some ability remains. |

1st Feb 2025 Good To Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Bumper winner who landed a maiden hurdle at Wincanton (1m7f, good) in April 2023 for Chris Gordon; he was returning from a long absence when tailed off at 66-1 at Ascot six weeks ago (stable debut) and may have needed that run, but he needs to prove how much ability he retains. |

8th Dec 2023 Soft 1m 7f 216y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Easy win on his handicap and seasonal debut at Wincanton (1m7f, soft) in October and readily followed up off the same mark at Plumpton (2m, good to soft) eight days later, when forced to switch; hit with 12lb rise but could still be ahead of the handicapper. |

Displayed significant improvement on seasonal/handicap debut at Wincanton (1m7f, soft) eight days ago, drawing clear to win quite comfortably by 10l; escapes a penalty here and commands respect. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
His near-9l fifth in this race last year (behind Clean Getaway) came at the end of a fairly busy spring/summer campaign; defied longer absence than today's for April's Sedgefield success, but yet to convince this higher sort of mark hasn't compromised him for further win purposes. |

Returned from break with win at Sedgefield (2m, good) last month, his fifth chase, and was placed off today's mark at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) a few days later; obvious contender in current form. |

Not the best of jumpers and yet to win in four attempts over fences; spoilt chance with a bad error three out when second at Leicester last week (2m, good to soft; 6-5 favourite; cheekpieces tried); obvious contender. |

10st 3lb |
Heavy defeats on all five starts, the latest on handicap debut at Stratford (3m2f; 80-1) three weeks ago when tongue tied first time; while he may not have stayed the trip that day, others bring more pressing claims. |

Struggled to get competitive in four maiden/novice hurdles (1m7f-2m3f) but combination of new trip and first-time tongue-tie may enable improvement on this handicap debut. |
