20th Jun 2023 Good 2m 6f 125y Class 5 |
12st 4lb |
Awarded race at Uttoxeter (2m5f, good) last month after clearcut winner had taken the wrong course and completed double when making all to score by 8l there (2m4f, good) on Saturday; has 7lb penalty to shoulder but won't mind what the weather does and has obvious claims. |

12st 0lb |
2m4f chase winner (soft) who has gone close when on this mark; returned from a break to equal his career-best form over C&D latest; drops 1lb; may be able to eke out a bit more; player. |

Won a novices' handicap chase at Ludlow (2m4f, soft) in December; went close in his follow-up bid at Taunton (2m7f, good to soft) later that month but his form slumped at Leicester in January; has bit to prove again after that and others are preferred. |

3rd Jun 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Maiden who is 0-6 since switched to chasing, best effort when second in small field at Catterick three outings back; each-way hopes on that form but he's not solid. |

12th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |

Pulled up in first two chases but has fared better on last couple of outings, more recently when staying-on second of five at Catterick (1m7f, good) 12 days ago; a contender here if coping with the slower ground. |

Won four good-ground chases in 2018 but very lightly raced since; struggled on both appearances this spring and urgently needs to prove some ability remains; 3lb out of the weights. |

14th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 3lb |
Useful in staying events at the right level for Louise Allan in 2022 but has lost his way and not yet shown signs of finding it again back with former trainer; one to watch for now. |

23rd Jul 2024 Standard 1m 4f 0y Class 6 |

His form of two years ago would give him a serious chance but he's lost his way badly under both codes. |

22nd May 2024 Good 1m 6f 17y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Scored off this mark at Bath two years ago, then ran creditably over C&D; subsequent form (Flat/jumps) is mostly unconvincing; market can guide on first run since rejoining Louise Allan. |

3m winner here in late 2022 when a stone higher in the weights; a series of disappointing runs followed and now he's hard to trust; tried cheekpieces and a tongue-tie during that time and now goes in a visor. |

Won at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) last November and well treated on that form; however, his subsequent form has been patchy and he's been pulled up the last twice; plenty to prove. |

18th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 3m 3f 119y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
High-mileage mare who is not very consistent but has collected two wins this season, the latter at Uttoxeter (3m2f, good) 24 days ago; not yet fully exposed over marathon trips; a possible if in the right mood again. |
4/1 |

25th Jul 2025 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Managed to see off two other finishers at Warwick (3m1f, good) in May, but she was well beaten at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) last time; record of 2-38 under rules makes others look more attractive. |
16/1 |

6th 4 |
24th Jun 2025 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Not always one to rely upon but returned from break with three good efforts in the spring, the most notable a game win at Warwick (3m1f, good) two starts ago; has possibilities if she continues to hold her form. |
