C&D winner on quick ground in August 2024; only flashes of his best form last year; best run was over 7f at Dundalk; poor run there on final outing before a break. |

9st 1lb
|
Won a Chelmsford novice (7f, Polytrack) for Richard Spencer a year ago and looked to be on the way back on her second start for this yard when third of eight at Chepstow (7f, good) last month, but her two efforts since have been moderate; others appeal more. |

Soft ground may have been behind her latest modest effort; possible to make a case on her two Tapeta runs for Richard Spencer now back in headgear off this mark and a better showing wouldn't surprise. |

C&D winner; losing run stretches back over two years and he hasn't fired yet this year; dropped 10lb as a result but perhaps not ready to capitalise just yet. |

Not run on the AW since 2022 and has regressed on turf in recent times, having been rated a stone higher at the start of last season; well held in three runs round his beloved Chepstow this year. |

4th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 16y Class 4 |
9st 12lb |
6f wins, including for the Charlton yard last spring, came from the front, but he was ridden more patiently when offering more in first-time cheekpieces (retained) last time; that gave something to build on dropped 2lb. |

18th Aug 2023 Good To Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Dual 6f scorer; has failed to show his form at about 7f (good/heavy) the last twice; first-time headgear may help but he still has something to prove at this distance. |

9st 9lb |
Has form in better races than this but he's on a losing run now and failed to benefit from a drop to this level at Southwell (6f) last month; needs revival back over 7f on course debut. |

7th Feb 2025 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |

Losing run up to 16, but he has winning form over C&D and drops to this level for the first time; not beaten far the last twice and a major player on these terms; cheekpieces removed. |

Two good runs in Class 6 company at Chepstow in the summer, getting off the mark at the 14th attempt in August; bled from the nose when disappointing at that track in September; sold for 5,000gns in November and just the type that Mick Appleby will find races for; betting instructive. |
