6th Aug 2023 Good 2m 1f 43y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Bumper and two-time novice hurdle winner who has won three-runner novice handicap chases the last twice (1m7f/2m, good); showed promise in soft-ground bumper on debut on sole encounter with a slow surface; this lightly raced 7yo could continue to improve and he's a strong contender. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 123y Class 2 |
10st 13lb |
Ended last year in excellent form over fences, with latest fourth coming behind the seriously progressive Thistle Ask; whereas he's 5-18 in that discipline and only 1-13 over hurdles, he's probably a better horse now than when last seen in this discipline; 5lb lower than his chase mark; front runs. |

31st Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 85y Class 1 |
10st 10lb |
Front-runner who can be tough to reel in on his day and has left his rivals trailing in completing a hat-trick in small fields at about 2m4f (latest in a match); has gone up a collective 20lb but he loves this good ground and looks sure to make a bold bid. |

13th Mar 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won twice over fences last summer, but held on his return to the Flat after 193 days off here (1m4f) 11 days ago; may have needed it, but still has enough to prove. |
33/1 |

2nd Mar 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Useful jumper who won 2m handicap chases at Worcester and Newton Abbot last summer; well beaten in an AW Flat handicap at the start of 2023 but he was quite useful in this sphere at the start of his career, including an AW novice win; possible he'll be using this a prep for a return to jumps but betting perhaps the best guide to expectations. |

2nd Sep 2023 Good 2m 0f 75y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Took a while to open his account over fences but has bagged two four-runner chases this summer, latterly over C&D (good) 11 days ago despite almost refusing to race and giving the others a big headstart; not without risk, but a 1lb rise ought to be manageable if he gets away on terms today. |
