Signed off for Fergal O'Brien with two wins last autumn (2m4f/2m) but has not made any further progress for current stable, albeit this year's four runs have all been respectable; others have more pressing claims. |

Two wins for Fergal O'Brien last autumn (2m4f/2m, good/good to soft); some fair runs for present yard, notably when third at Hexham in May (2m, good); soft going a concern. |

11st 9lb |
Began season in good form over hurdles but ended last year with two disappointing efforts and, having been pulled up on all three previous chasing attempts, looks too risky on this return to fences; visor added. |

Won here last November and he's 3-17 overall as a hurdler, scoring at Kempton this October before tailing off behind a few of these at Cheltenham (irregular heartbeat was reported); probably vulnerable to improvers. |

9th Nov 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 212y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Four-time hurdle winner (2m-2m4f); ran quite well when fourth at Plumpton (2m4f, good) in September and probably didn't get the trip when below that form over 3m last month, but his sole chasing attempt in 2022 did not go well (jumped poorly, pulled up). |

11st 3lb |
Four-time hurdle winner at up to 2m4f; good effort when fourth of 12 at Southwell (2m4f, good) three weeks ago and is suited by slow ground but today's test may tax his stamina; refitted cheekpieces replace visor. |

Doubled his hurdling tally at Worcester (2m4f, good) in July and is now only 2lb above that mark but has become inconsistent this year and others in this line-up appeal more. |

24th Sep 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 114y Class 5 |

Would have won easier at Worcester (2m4f, good) but for some premature easing on the run-in but he went out like a light next time at Uttoxeter; usually consistent in the main and could bounce back from that. |

30th Aug 2023 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |

Generally consistent and gained a second hurdle success when overcoming premature easing at Worcester last month; 4lb higher and this looks potentially more competitive but he has to be considered again. |

Well behind race-fit Safe Destination at Fontwell on debut for new yard, taking chase record to 0-5, but may fare better with that reappearance effort under his belt and blinkers now added; recorded sole hurdles win off this mark; attractively handicapped. |

Kept on resolutely to open hurdling account at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in July, his third start for Richard Newland; only 1lb higher now but form has dipped alarmingly since; headgear switched in bid to perk him up. |

Ground it out at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) in July on his third run back from a long absence and it could be that Cartmel never suited a month ago; only 4lb higher than for that recent win, but others may have more up their sleeves. |

Third start back from a long absence when scoring over 2m4f at Uttoxeter last month; form of that race might be suspect but he may well be capable of better and he's only 4lb higher; acts on soft and in the shake-up. |
