10st 13lb |
Keeping excellent form under the 7lb claimer Conor Rabbitt over 3m at Perth (131) this spring, climbing a further 4lb since making all in a three-runner Class 4 there a fortnight ago; gave a good account (second) here too last spring, so everything looks primed for another positive performance. |

Not the force of old but collected C&D win (good to soft) off a much reduced mark last month; backed up that performance with second at Market Rasen (2m5f, good to soft) last Friday and front-running third over C&D (good) yesterday; respected. |

22nd Aug 2023 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Lingfield chase winner in February (3m5f); inconsistent since but second of four at Market Rasen (3m3f) on penultimate start, when a visor first replaced blinkers; big player on best chase efforts such as those and also on his C&D win off 2lb higher last June. |

7th Jul 2023 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 4 |

Lingfield winner in February (3m5f); inconsistent since but second at Market Rasen latest, when a visor replaced blinkers; no secrets but on a competitive mark if on a good day. |

1st Jun 2023 Good 3m 3f 123y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Kept busy since winning at Lingfield (3m5f, good) from a similar mark in February; didn't jump with fluency when down the field (seventh) in the Norfolk National at Fakenham before contesting last week's void race at Worcester; a first-time visor replaces his usual blinkers. |

1st Jun 2023 Good 3m 3f 123y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Yet to win over fences (0-19) but placed on eight occasions; 168-day absence before a weakening third of four at Southwell (3m2f, good) last week; should strip fitter for that run and will have no issue with these conditions. |
4/1 |

3rd 5 |
24th May 2023 Good 3m 1f 185y Class 4 |
10st 10lb |
in touch with leaders, good jump and headway 12th, pushed along before 3 out, ridden and outpaced before 2 out, no extra approaching last |

7th Dec 2022 Good To Firm 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
In the frame several times off higher marks this season and will be suited by today's trip-and-ground combination; better than he showed when well-held fourth at Doncaster recently (made jumping errors) and can play a significant role here but he has become a very tricky horse to win with. |

3rd Jun 2023 Good 3m 3f 119y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Thorough stayer who won a 4m hunter chase at Cheltenham last year; has found life tougher in handicaps but ran well last time and a positive ride is probable given his assured stamina. |

11st 8lb |
Thorough stayer who won a 4m hunter chase at Cheltenham in April 2022 (good to soft); has found things tougher since returned to handicaps but wasn't beaten that far in recent Norfolk National at Fakenham (3m5f, good) and continues to slip down the weights. |

1st Jun 2023 Good 3m 3f 123y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Not so good over the last two years; took a moderate Wetherby seller (2m4f, good to soft) on penultimate start but didn't get far (fell) on his return to fences at Exeter next time; well handicapped on old form. |

11th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 2f 111y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Winning form over 3m as a chaser but was running moderately in that discipline before returning to form back over hurdles in a 2m3f seller at Wetherby (good to soft), which he won by 3l; can pick holes in the form but clearly a contender on the back of that. |
