On a good mark if able to rediscover his peak form but his debut for this yard was disappointing and that was back in August. |

30th Jun 2024 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
10st 4lb |
Didn't run badly when fifth of ten at Fontwell (2m3f, good) this month and continues to slip down the weights but is only 1-12 over hurdles and others in this field have much more appealing profiles. |

12th Jun 2024 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Won four-runner maiden (2m, good) a year ago but yet to make an impact in handicaps as a hurdler; didn't run badly when fourth at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft; first run back from a second wind operation) last month but failed to build on that at Fakenham last time. |

12st 0lb |
Heavy defeats this year under rules before something better when 11l second of five in maiden hurdle at Worcester (2m7f, good) five weeks ago; needs another step forward on this chase/handicap debut. |

22nd Jul 2023 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Displayed significant promise in a soft-ground Irish point last year but struggled in a bumper on rules debut in March and was remote when third on hurdling debut at Fakenham (2m4f, good) in May; tongue-tie added. |

Beaten about 49l when 40-1 for last month's handicap debut at Bangor (2m7f, good) and needs considerable help from the first-time blinkers here. |

Pretty much tailed off in her first four hurdles and, while handicapped accordingly, she has plenty to prove right now. |

Has only won at Worcester, going back-to-back there in late summer (2m4f hurdle/2m chase); didn't run at all well in his last two races, both over fences. |

All three of his wins under rules have been at this track, his last success over C&D (good) last month; decent fourth at Warwick (2m4f, good) 22 days ago and remains in form. |

Gelding by Shirocco; last of six in a Hereford bumper on debut in February; only a 4-1 shot that day so better was expected; hurdle debut. |

15th Feb 2023 Good 2m 0f 53y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
£19,000 3yo; half-brother to a winning hurdler/chaser and out of a dam who won a Listed bumper; yard has fairly modest (6-54) record in these races but this newcomer is certainly worth a second look. |

5th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Made it 2-4 over fences when he pulled clear with the second at Southwell (3m2f, good); no reason why he shouldn't be very competitive off 4lb higher. |
3/1 |

24th Mar 2026 Good 3m 1f 185y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Defied an even longer break at Hereford in November (3m1f, good) off only 1lb lower and his following run was just as good; could easily leave his latest below-par run behind. |
