12st 1lb |
Multiple winner over hurdles and fences; went down narrowly after a break at Uttoxeter (2m5f, good) and he's hard to knock, other than the handicapper knowing all about him. |

9th Jul 2023 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
May not be straightforward but was given nicely judged ride by Dylan Whelan to win at Southwell (2m, good) on Monday and is now 2-5 for Ben Pauling; still has fairly low mileage; respected under penalty. |

3rd Jul 2023 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Came good under rules with hurdle win on stable debut in April (well backed) and looked sure to win Worcester chase (2m, good) the following month, only to capitulate on the run-in; still in contention when falling three out at Market Rasen last time; likely to play a major role. |

9th Jun 2023 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Hurdle winner on stable debut in April (well backed); not so good next time but looked sure to win on chasing debut at Worcester two weeks ago, only to fold after the final fence; has the ability to win this but clearly not be trusted implicitly for now. |

Second in an Irish point; moderate form over fences and pulled up at Taunton (2m2f, good) latest; not easy to fancy from 3lb out of weights. |

24th Aug 2023 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Some fair efforts over hurdles and fences for this yard but more needed if he's to add to only career win in Ireland two years ago. |
8/1 |

20th Jul 2023 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Has run reasonably over hurdles and fences for this yard but more needed if he's to add to only career win, in Ireland (for Henry De Bromhead) nearly two years ago; usual tongue-strap left off. |
20/1 |

19th Jul 2023 Soft 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Only 1-23; not far away over fences during the spring but comfortably held back hurdling the last twice and needs to raise his game. |

21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Kept on well to win from the front at Ludlow (3m, good to soft; front pair clear) in February and remains well handicapped on best of last season's form but he's too inconsistent to rely upon heavily. |

26th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 171y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Ran quite well when second (albeit well held) at Huntingdon (2m4f, soft) three weeks ago and will be fine over today's longer trip but he's very inconsistent nowadays and it's nearly two years since his last win. |

5th Feb 2026 Soft 2m 3f 189y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Dual chase winner who is well treated on best form; not particularly solid on his results this season, the pick at Hereford when over half the field failed to complete. |

23rd Jul 2023 Good 2m 3f 98y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Useful hurdler in his prime but generally very disappointing over fences since joining current yard last year; tailed off behind Opening Bid on latest start in May and effectively 15lb higher from out of the weights here. |

26th May 2023 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Useful hurdler in his prime but generally very disappointing over fences since switching to current stable last year; pulled up on latest start in January; tongue-tie removed after one use; not the obvious answer. |

16th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Placed several times over hurdles, including at Graded level, for previous yards; nowhere near that form since joining current stable and switching to fences; fitting of tongue-tie needs to have major effect. |

11st 6lb |
Four of his six wins have been at this track, three of which over 2m; has lost his way, however, since the last of those in May last year off 7lb higher; well handicapped if he can return to form after absence of 223 days. |

22nd Oct 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 4 |

Completed a hat-trick in May but now has to bounce back from four heavy defeats and there are improvers lurking here. |

16th Sep 2025 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 4 |

Completed hat-trick when making all to beat Harel Du Marais at Southwell (2m, good) in May, after a break, but has suffered three heavy defeats since; swaps visor for refitted cheekpieces; rain a likely negative. |

28th Jun 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Tailed off in three hurdles at the start of 2021; absent until last month's chasing debut here (2m+) when attracting support; pulled hard and was pulled up when long way behind; no surprise to see a hood back on; tongue-strap also fitted; interesting to see if the money returns. |

27th May 2023 Good 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Tailed off in three hurdles at the start of 2021 and absent since; chasing/handicap debut and 9lb out of the weights; would need to see market support to offer hope; due to run 5.40 Worcester on Friday. |
16/1 |

26th May 2023 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Struggled to get competitive at huge odds in three slow-ground novice hurdles in early 2021; makes chase/handicap debut after 841-day absence and from 4lb out of the weights but market support will arouse interest. |
14/1 |
