23rd Jul 2024 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |

In fine form on Tapeta early last year including a win over C&D; not shown much in three starts at Kempton since returning from 341 days off in May, but now 2lb below last winning mark; return to this surface may help. |

Below best in two starts here since returning from 11-month break but back on his last winning mark and Richard Kingscote takes over from a 7lb claimer; interesting with cheekpieces refitted for the first time this year (latest four wins in them). |

3rd May 2023 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Made all when winning easily for Ian Williams over C&D early last year off a 2lb higher mark; back in form on his recent course comeback (1m6f) for Roisin Leech, again from the front, and that gave something to build on. |
6/1 |

2nd 2 (11) |
8th Apr 2023 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Easy winner from 2lb higher here (16.5f; first-time tongue-tie) on his final start for Ian Williams in January last year, but form has regressed under both codes for this yard; best watched for now. |

24th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |

Out of form on the Flat and over hurdles since last summer; his defeat on heavy ground in December can be overlooked but, nevertheless, he comes here with a lot to prove; 3lb out of the weights. |

Not the most consistent but has won seven times, including when getting the race in the stewards' room in an amateur riders' event over C&D in November; twice held at Wolverhampton since and may just need this after three months off. |

Her last three wins have come over C&D and latest was last March; well handicapped on that form but she's finished down the field here in her last five runs and needs a major revival after wind surgery. |

Looked as though he might be one to follow when off the mark at the 15th attempt over C&D in December, but hasn't really built on that performance despite running with some credit in two of his five starts since; edging back towards his winning mark, but others look more solid. |

15th Nov 2023 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
9st 12lb |
High in the weights with him 6lb above the figure he defied at Carlisle (1m3f) in August and that perhaps a factor in his two subsequent defeats; continues to run well though and unlikely to be far away. |
5/1 |
|
4th 6 (12) |
28th Sep 2023 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
In career-best form on turf in recent months, most notably when clearcut winner at Carlisle (1m3f, good to firm) two starts ago; also suited by this surface and must be considered in current mood. |
9/2 |
|
2nd 1 (7) |
1st Sep 2023 Good To Soft 1m 3f 209y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Got off the mark at Southwell in February and back in top form on last two starts when second at Leicester (again under Laura Pearson) and winning an amateurs' race at Carlisle, all over 1m3f or 1m4f; has 5lb penalty but the ground may pose the biggest question, as his only run on softer than good was low-level form early in career. |

0-8 but came closest to winning when beaten a neck by Jenny Ren in a slowly run race here (1m4f) last month; stamina-laden pedigree suggests she should relish the longer trip and one to be interested in. |

2nd 3 (4) |
17th Mar 2023 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 6 |

Maiden who was picked up for 4,000gns from Charlie Fellowes in November; poor start for her new trainer at Dundalk last month but interesting to see how this Irish raider goes in the market now back in cheekpieces. |

9th 5 (4) |
3rd Feb 2023 Standard 1m 2f 150y |

4,000gns buy out of Charlie Fellowes yard in November, best effort coming just 12 days earlier when second in Chelmsford handicap over 1m2f; runs off 6lb higher mark here on yard debut. |

Dual hurdle winner in 2022; placed twice on the AW this autumn but his last two Flat runs were disappointing and this chasing debut will be his 82nd career start; 3lb out of the weights; too risky. |

5th Feb 2024 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Losing run goes back two years; has mostly run over further for this yard but he's run respectably in defeat at about 1m5f of late and refitting cheekpieces could help, having run three of his best races in them. |
9/1 |
|
3rd 8 |
18th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 5f 66y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Effective at this track; won two 1m4f handicaps on AW two winters back; three minor honours last winter and a respectable show 12 days ago after 215-day absence; assuming he can build on that, he's in the mix. |
5/1 |
|
5th 7 (4) |
6th Jan 2024 Standard 1m 4f 14y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Won two 1m4f handicaps off lowly marks in 2021-22 AW season but may be better suited by staying trips now and was out of form when last seen last spring. |
