Won an Irish point but has virtually nothing to show from four runs over hurdles; had wind surgery ahead of his handicap debut. |

15th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 4f 145y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Changed hands for £140,000 after landing an Irish point but he has cut little ice in three runs over hurdles for his current yard, coming in a remote fifth at Wetherby (2m4f) last time; he needs to take a sizeable step forward now fitted with a tongue strap. |

0-9 and has a patchy record; posted one of his better efforts in Exeter handicap (2m7f, good; finished second) five weeks ago on debut for new trainer; however, the bare form is very modest. |

14th Feb 2024 Good To Soft 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Ran quite well from the front when fourth at Taunton (2m7f, good to soft) in December but this regressive 8yo is yet to add to his maiden hurdle win in spring 2021 and is not the percentage call; 1lb out of the handicap. |
12/1 |

Now 13lb lower than when placed in good-ground hurdle in the spring but was soundly beaten in two chases this autumn (2m7f/3m1f) and has a lot more to prove than some of these. |

In a first-time visor and making stable debut when edging home over C&D in March (good to soft) but then finished tailed off at Exeter (good to firm); hard to be confident about how he'll run here with cheekpieces back on but the ability is there. |

9yo who snapped a long losing sequence on this month's stable debut at Huntingdon (3m2f, good to soft) when wearing a first-time visor (retained) on his first outing since wind surgery; 4lb higher today but could have more to offer for this yard; should be major player. |

2-38 under rules, both wins at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good) in May 2022; placed a few times off higher marks last year and probably needed the run when fourth of seven behind Sandy Brook at Plumpton (3m1f, good) a fortnight ago; now 10lb better off; could go well. |

Three chase wins last season, the latest gained at Taunton (2m7f, good to soft) in November; has 6lb lower hurdle mark but remains without a win in this discipline after 17 attempts and tends to need his first run back from a break (absent since December); others make more appeal. |
