5th Sep 2023 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
Respectable record at Goodwood includes four wins, notably this contest in 2022 (soft); outstayed over 2m4f when behind Temporize at the Glorious festival then ran creditably back at 2m here later in August; solid claims. |

4th Aug 2023 Heavy 2m 4f 97y Class 2 |
8st 10lb |
Can make the running and suited by soft ground; has won on four of his seven visits to this track, and on his penultimate visit he chased home the subsequent Ascot Gold Cup winner; only fifth last time but he made up a lot of ground after starting slowly and it's best to put a line through that; this trip could suit him. |

Kelso winner in May (2m, good to firm); has since finished behind Too Friendly at both Cartmel (2m1f, good to soft) and Market Rasen 2m, soft), though good second on latter track and now 3lb better off for 1.5l; chance. |

8th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 144y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Promising efforts in some decent novices and he came good in only his second handicap at Stratford (2m, good to soft), where he breezed through the race and won comfortably from Word Has It; a 5lb rise could have been worse for this progressive 6yo. |
100/30 |

1st 10 |
13th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 70y Class 3 |

Promising efforts in some decent novices and he travelled as well as anything before finishing a 5l fifth on his handicap debut at Warwick (2m, good); being keen that day didn't help and this venue could suit him. |

5th 3 |
11th Feb 2023 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Made the frame in both bumpers (including on good ground) and he's also run well in defeat in some warm races on his three hurdle starts (1m7f/2m, good to soft); goes handicapping off a fair mark and could be in the mix. |

Progressive over hurdles with cheekpieces this summer, last time gaining his second win of the year in a valuable handicap at Market Rasen (2m, soft) when beating Castel Gandolfo (now 3lb better off) by 1.5l; up 5lb; should run well again. |

Has won three of his seven starts since returning from a mammoth absence but has gone cold the last twice and this is a tough race in which to bounce back. |
14/1 |
|
8th 4 |
4th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Made no impact when fifth to Collingham at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) last time and needs a much bigger performance here, but he's won three of his six starts (1m7f-2m3f, good/soft) since returning from a long absence and it will be no surprise if he bounces back with a good run. |
20/1 |

5th 3 |
4th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 2 |

Bar one blip he's been in fine form on good/soft ground this season after a long absence, and he posted his third win of the campaign when beating stablemate Collingham over C&D on New Year's Day; strong claims up just 3lb. |

Arrives here after three defeats over fences and his Bangor race last time looked winnable off a lower mark in that discipline (kept jumping to the left); might be a happier horse now back over hurdles but others are more intriguing. |

25th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 1f 77y Class 4 |

Well beaten on chasing debut in January but last month's Uttoxeter fourth (2m, good to soft) was a lot more encouraging and he has become well handicapped on hurdling form; might be the answer. |

20th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |

2m hurdle winner (soft); no improvement for chasing the last twice, not jumping fluently on former occasion; may yet do better but such progress is a requirement. |

Not sure what happened last time at Fakenham but the run before he all but held on in a Class 3 handicap at Kempton (soft; fine on good) and the winner was runner-up in the Martin Pipe at Cheltenham; that form brings him right into the equation. |
10/1 |

17th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 3y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Still improving seven hurdles starts in, all but holding on in a deeper Class 3 (0-140, soft) at Kempton over Christmas with Swaffham Bulbeck 15l behind; can make his one mistake in a race, but a player even so. |
4/1 |

27th Dec 2022 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Took six goes to get off the mark over hurdles but his breakthrough win at Huntingdon (2m, good) was impressive and a 7lb rise could underestimate him; commands major respect. |

22nd Jul 2023 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |

Signed off for Neil Mulholland with some below-par efforts in the spring but gave good account when clear second to Fenna's Lass on stable debut at Hexham (2m4f, good) four weeks ago; still unexposed over this sort of trip; a possible if in similar form again here. |

Back in very good form when readily beating Progressive by 10l at Chepstow (2m, soft) in January but comes here after two lesser efforts (albeit under mitigating circumstances); others have more convincing profiles. |

8th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 144y Class 2 |

Suited by the return to hurdles when hammering a subsequent winner in a mares' handicap at Chepstow (2m, soft; 6lb lower) and was then always up against it in a Grade 2 won by the high-class Epatante; her Stratford demise in the race won by Bubble Dubi harder to forgive but that wasn't her true running; on her day she's dangerous. |

13th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 70y Class 3 |

Appeared suited by the return to hurdles when hammering a subsequent winner in a mares' handicap at Chepstow (2m, soft) and was always up against it in a Grade 2 next time won by Epatante; 8lb higher than for that last win but should be in the mix. |

Has steadily recaptured his form since returning from an absence, and got back on the scoresheet in a Class 3 at Chepstow (2m, good to soft), albeit courtesy of some good fortune with the leader departing at the last; only 2lb higher but others are more appealing. |
