29th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 50y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Progressive 5yo who doubled his tally for the season when rallying well for Cameron Iles at Worcester (2m, good to soft; first-time tongue-tie) last month; could still have more to offer; respected. |

1st 1 |
29th Sep 2023 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Improved to win quite comfortably at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in May, his sixth start over hurdles, and has finished second three consecutive times since; sports first-time tongue-tie today and capable 10lb claimer Cameron Iles is enlisted; likely to be right in the thick of things again. |

Improved to win quite comfortably at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in May, his sixth start over hurdles, and finished second on both subsequent outings; lost out only narrowly to Sassified over C&D two runs ago; ought to be right in the thick of things again. |

18th Nov 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Has a solid record over fences, with plenty of places alongside three wins in 15 attempts; might strip fitter for his Bangor run which followed wind surgery. |

27th Oct 2025 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 5 |

10th Jun 2023 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Unplaced in his first six starts but the seventh saw him land a significant gamble over C&D in April (made all); unable to repeat the feat next time but still ran respectably; probably needs shade more in this company. |
6/1 |

3rd 2 |
20th May 2023 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Of the mark (seventh attempt) with a front-running win under Jay Tidball in a Bangor handicap (2m, good) last month; up 7lb but he landed a gamble with that clearcut success and is open to more progress; highly respected. |

11st 8lb |
Four-time hurdle winner and his last success was at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good to soft) in June; disappointing in final run for the Hobbs/White yard but he still looks feasibly treated on his best form and needs a close look on first run for James Owen; new headgear. |

3rd Jul 2023 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Ran big race in defeat over fences at Warwick (2m, good) in April, after a layoff, and his subsequent fifth over hurdles at Uttoxeter (2m, good) certainly wasn't a bad effort; recent 4lb drop seems generous; one to consider. |
11/2 |

20th May 2023 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Dual chase winner who returned from an absence with a close, front-running second over fences at Worcester (2m, good) last month; 0-8 over hurdles but that last run was off 7lb higher and he's an interesting contender back in this sphere. |

27th May 2026 Good 3m 1f 83y Class 5 |

After a break he's been tailed off behind Wee Alki and here on Monday faded into sixth over 2m6f; others preferred. |
16/1 |

25th May 2026 Good 2m 6f 31y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Made all over 2m1f here (good) last July and came second here on next two outings (2m6f/3m1f); probably needed recent reappearance run and has a big role to play if back on song. |
5/1 |
|
12th 3 |
2nd May 2026 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |

Three sound efforts on last three starts last summer (good/soft), winning over 2m1f at Cartmel and finishing creditable second over 3m there on final start; off for 252 days and likely to be better for the run. |

Doesn't win too often on the Flat these days but he has been placed on his last two starts, chasing home Seraphic at Chelmsford four weeks ago (1m2f); each-way claims again. |

11st 7lb |
Inconsistent 11-race maiden who was a well-held eighth at Bangor (2m3f, good) last month; drops back in trip/grade but his form has gone the wrong way in handicaps and others are more convincing; cheekpieces back. |
25/1 |

23rd Apr 2023 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |

Mid-race faller at Bangor last month; well held there yesterday, taking record to 0-11; ran creditably (80-1) when third in novice contest here in October and has place hopes on that effort. |

Unable to land a telling blow in his first two handicaps (2m/1m7f) and was a mid-race faller when last in action; not yet fully exposed but needs today's step up in trip to enable improvement. |

20th May 2023 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Fairly useful at up to 1m4f on the Flat but he's not achieved much in his three hurdle runs this year and has pulled hard in last two starts; now goes handicapping off a lowly mark but he needs to settle better if he's to have a future as a jumper. |

25th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 4 |

Flat ability needs respecting but has tailed off and pulled up in his two runs over hurdles; pulled very hard in the first-time hood latterly and the tongue-tie fitted then is now left off; really needs to settle better if he's to have a future as a jumper. |

Soundly beaten in three low-grade handicap hurdles for Ben Pauling in early part of last year and has a lot to prove in this sphere but came good for David Evans with narrow 1m4f Flat win (RPR 66) last month and is evidently in good nick. |
7/1 |

7th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 2f 37y Class 6 |

Finally off the mark in an apprentice handicap over a bit further on slower ground 11 days ago; has no penalty for that (will be 3lb higher from tomorrow) and enters calculations. |
