Took well to first-time visor at Worcester (2m7f, good) this month, opening his account; may build on that success and show further progress in the retained headgear; respected up 7lb. |

Maiden; hasn't looked straightforward but has been placed in two of most recent three starts, the latest when just behind Ahead Of The Field over C&D last month; visor could well help him take another step forward. |

Holds solid claims on the form of his Uttoxeter third in May but he came in a remote fifth of seven in 3m Market Rasen handicap 24 days ago; he needs to get back on track. |

Triple hurdle winner in 2022, the latest win gained from the front at Hereford (3m1f, good) in October; not seen since falling in a chase in January and competes off career-high mark here but has possibilities if fully tuned up; untested on ground quicker than good. |

Veteran who ran respectably behind a couple of younger rivals at Southwell (3m, heavy) last month; however, it's three years since his sole success; not the percentage call. |

High-mileage veteran who looked out of sorts on his final two appearances in 2024; too well handicapped to rule out but younger rivals appeal more; blinkers refitted. |

On a losing run and in difficulties in three of his last four starts, including behind School For Scandal over C&D in October and at Fakenham 16 days ago; has been wearing headgear but just a tongue-tie today; work cut out. |

28th Aug 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Won at Bangor (2m4f, soft) off 3lb higher in October 2023 but out of sorts in four starts since and pulled up in July when possibly finding his stamina stretched by 3m2f; hard to recommend on recent form. |

26th Jul 2024 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Largely consistent in early part of last season, and deserved his hard-fought win at Bangor (2m4f, soft) in October; fell on reappearance outing in May but last month's Worcester run was not as bad as eventual 39l defeat might suggest, and that outing might have brought him on. |

Both hurdle wins gained here and ran well when third in a C&D chase in May, following a break; pulled up at Uttoxeter since (ground softer than official description); risky after that but this is her course and may well perk up in a visor. |

17th Jun 2023 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |

The second of her two hurdles wins came off this mark last summer at Worcester (2m7f, good), where she also made a respectable return to fences 40 days ago; was beaten 11l so needs more here, but that was her first run for 193 days; respected. |

8th May 2023 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Dual hurdle winner here (2m7f, good) when fitted with tongue-tie last summer but in poor form when last seen in the autumn, and both her chasing attempts last spring were unconvincing; others have a lot less to prove. |

Attractive form figures in points but his five wins comprise two walkovers, two matches and a three-runner race; tailed off in a hunter chase in February (only start under rules in last two years); 6lb out of the weights but some of his old form offers hope that he could be competitive. |

Completed a double in a 2m6f handicap at Stratford (good) in October 2021 but he's had only five runs since and has failed to complete in three of them; now 5lb lower than for his last success but was pulled up at Worcester last month and others are more convincing; blinkers added. |

Runner-up at Fakenham last month, on return from a year off; just three ran in that event and likely to need a great deal more to win this, though on a fair mark based on his two wins in the autumn of 2021. |

Tailed off over hurdles a month ago on return from a break; second in a Hexham chase last September (in first-time cheekpieces) and needs blinkers to have a similar effect if he's to gain a first win over fences. |
