17-race maiden; some reasonable efforts in March/April 2021 but well beaten on both starts this season on return from more than a year off; currently comes with risks attached. |

11th Jun 2023 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
0-14 over hurdles; ran big race and lost out only by a neck over C&D (good; refitted tongue-tie/cheekpieces) last month but is effectively 7lb higher from 5lb out of the weights today; blinkers the headgear of choice this time. |

11st 11lb |
Best effort came when third in a Perth novice handicap over 3m but was disappointing back at that track since; has a squeak if bouncing back. |

24th Jun 2023 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-5 over hurdles but bettered her low-key handicap debut (2m1f) when close third of six over C&D (good) last month; remains very unexposed over this sort of trip and might be seen to better effect if today's race is run at a stronger pace. |

27th Sep 2023 Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
0-18 over hurdles but has largely been consistent since the spring; made most of the running when third behind Prince Nino over C&D this month and has the same mark today; probably won't be far away. |

Dual Flat winner over 1m in France; yet to win over hurdles although has been running well enough in handicaps over 2m4f/3m here this summer to suggest he has a chance. |

24th Nov 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 51y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Won a 2m3f Carlisle novice handicap hurdle in March (soft) but he came in only ninth in similar company at Kelso (2m7f, good); still early days and returning to softer ground may help on chase debut. |

Opened his account in 2m3f Carlisle novice handicap hurdle but he came in only ninth in similar company at Kelso (2m7f) 30 days ago; he needs to get back on track. |

11st 1lb |
First run beyond 2m1f when prevailing narrowly over 2m3f at Carlisle (soft) a month ago; only 3lb higher and this lightly raced 7yo may well improve again over this longer trip. |

11st 8lb |
Milan gelding who improved for the step up in trip when third of seven in 3m3f Sedgefield handicap hurdle last month; he's much respected off an unchanged mark. |
6/1 |
|
3rd 2 |
14th Apr 2023 Soft 3m 3f 9y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Moderate form until a better effort at Carlisle (2m3f, soft) latest; initial mark isn't generous based on bare form but there's plenty of stamina in his family and he could improve for this marked step up in trip on his handicap debut. |
9/1 |
