in touch with leaders on inner (trainer said, regarding the running of gelding here on going described as Good, having declared gelding a non-runner at Market Rasen on ground with the same official description, that in his opinion the going at Market Rasen was riding slower than ideal after rainfall) |

Ran out a clearcut winner at Doncaster (3m, good) but he reminded us of his inconsistency when failing to give his running at Wincanton; goes without Ned Fox's claim here and he'll need to be right on it. |

Not that predictable but capable on his day as he showed when a clearcut winner at Doncaster (3m, good); clear claims off 5lb higher with Ned Fox again on board, but wouldn't want the ground any easier than good to soft. |

15th Jun 2023 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Tried in blinkers instead of usual cheekpieces when just a fair third of seven in 3m Perth handicap chase in April; a bit more is needed if he is to resume winning ways. |
9/2 |

3rd 2 |
27th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Held every chance when he fell two out at Wincanton in December but he's unpredictable and hasn't repeated that form since; impossible to know how he'll react to first-time blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) but, off his last winning mark, he can't be discounted. |
4/1 |

27th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 3m 1f 30y Class 4 |

Still in the firing line when he fell two out here in December but he's hard to predict and produced a lesser effort at Warwick in the race won by The Kings Writ, and he has won there; capable but risky. |

27th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Off the mark in Britain when arriving late at Wetherby last month (2m5f, good); his Newcastle second (2m4f, heavy) off this 3lb higher mark was no backward step and this belated return to further shouldn't be too big an issue. |
9/4 |

2nd 1 |
29th Mar 2023 Heavy 2m 4f 19y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Quite consistent and off the mark in Britain at the 18th attempt when swooping late at Wetherby this month; 3lb rise neither here nor there and expert at completing but overall record suggests he may prove vulnerable. |

6th Mar 2023 Good 2m 5f 75y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
10l runner-up at Kelso (2m5f, heavy) in January and occupied the same position at Musselburgh (2m4f, soft) a fortnight ago; also effective on good ground; however, it looked to be a weak race last time and this 11yo is now 0-17 since arriving from France; may again find some others to be too good. |

11yo who failed to show any of his old spark when pulled up at Musselburgh following a long absence; makes limited appeal on the back of that. |

19th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 68y Class 5 |

11yo who is having his first run since 2021 and it remains to be seen how much ability he retains; however, this five-time winner has been given a chance by the handicapper and returns in a weak race; not ruled out. |

10st 13lb |
Has won over 3m in the distant past but usually kept to shorter these days and has struggled the last twice after edging up the weights; bit to prove on a couple of counts. |

8th Apr 2023 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Winner over this trip at Newcastle in January (soft) and over C&D the following month (good to soft); lesser run last time but not without a chance. |

26th Mar 2023 Heavy 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
10st 3lb |
Easy win at Newcastle (2m4f, soft) in January and got up late to follow up over this C&D (good to soft) last month, despite carrying his tail awkwardly; this 12yo could again be bang there if his good form continues. |

13th Feb 2024 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Stayed on gamely to score at Kelso (3m2f, soft; first-time tongue-tie) in November but was below that form the following month (albeit on heavy ground) and has become difficult to predict; younger rivals appeal more. |
12/1 |

5th 7 |
23rd Dec 2023 Soft 3m 0f 58y Class 3 |
10st 3lb |
Returned to hurdling for last two starts and it paid off last time when he was always front rank to win seven-runner race at Kelso (3m2f, soft; acts on heavy); tongue tied for the first time that day, so maybe he's turned a corner; back up 3lb but his form of previous seasons (up to last December) was significantly better. |
