30th Nov 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Dual soft-ground winner at 2m7f, including at Hexham on his penultimate start; well below that level back over that C&D on heavy latest; best RPRs have been recorded on slower ground than forecast but could still be an each-way player if bouncing back. |

10th Nov 2023 Heavy 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Fair hurdler who got right back on track for his new yard (left Neil Mulholland for £4,500) when winning nine-runner handicap over C&D last month; up 4lb but he was strong at the finish there so rates a player. |

Stayed on well to open account for Neil Mulholland at Worcester (2m7f, soft) in July but was sold out of that stable for £4,500 after last month's disappointing chase debut and has a point to prove on this stable debut. |

Two Newton Abbot wins in May 2022; winless since but mostly holding form of late, and hurdles form here reads 222P24; unable to defy Flat breeding when last tried over fences in late 2021, jumping poorly. |

0-13 under rules and fell early when tried once before over fences two years ago; subsequent hurdling exploits leave him with further questions to answer; had wind surgery since latest start. |

Has been running reasonably and didn't seem to stay 2m7f at Worcester latest, having held every chance; tricky customer but ought to be involved, especially off current mark (has won off 9lb higher). |

27th Jul 2023 Soft 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Tricky customer whose two wins came early in 2022; showed enough in two Fontwell outings in the spring to warrant consideration if he stays this trip; no ground problems. |

Looked badly out of sorts for most of last season but seemed to have turned a corner when very respectable fourth here (2m3f, good) last month and, if that run can be built upon, he's still well handicapped. |

Three point wins this year (two under Jamie Gambin) but unplaced in both hurdle starts since; disappointing over C&D latest and that asks some questions of her now; cheekpieces (worn once in point) back on. |

3-6 in points for new stable this year; quickly on back foot when pace lifted on recent hurdling return at Newton Abbot (2m1f) but ought to be much better suited by today's trip; versatile regarding ground; interesting. |

Runner-up in a point in March but well beaten in two chases this summer; only win (for Gordon Elliott) came over hurdles in February 2021 so quite a bit to prove for now; soft ground no problem, at least. |

27th Jul 2023 Soft 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Wildly unpredictable type who has caused two shocks here (80-1 and 50-1), the latest over 2m4f in May; inconsistent since but not impossible that lightning could strike for a third time; possibly best on good ground. |

Bounced back to form with shock 2m4f course win (good) in May and ran much better than finishing position (fifth) suggests at Southwell (3m, good) last month but flopped badly on his latest outing and is not one to rely upon; forecast rain a likely negative. |

Last-fence unseat in a point in May when clear; record across all codes now stands at 0-31, but today's first try over this short since late 2018 is interesting, considering he often tries to make all. |

Beaten ten lengths by Guttural over C&D last month and could close that gap on 5lb better terms; 0-29 in his career so others preferred for win purposes. |
