11st 13lb |
Dual novice winner who likes good ground; after three runs over fences he gave his hurdles plenty of air at Southwell (2m, good) 12 days ago but ran a solid race; each-way claims. |

12th Jun 2024 Good 2m 3f 29y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Fair Flat performer (stayed at least 1m6f); promise in maiden/novice hurdles last year and possibly found soft ground against him when pulled up on handicap hurdle debut; back on track when returned to a better surface with a close second at Stratford (2m3f, good) last month; shouldn't be far away off a small rise. |

Useful on the Flat for the Charltons; promise in maiden/novice hurdles last year and perhaps found soft ground against him when pulled up on handicap hurdle debut ten weeks ago; may fare better returned to drying ground. |

24th Oct 2024 Good 2m 4f 11y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Placed off reduced mark on consecutive days at Perth (2m4f, good) in September before running no race at Hereford only ten days ago; bit risky on the back of that effort. |

14th Oct 2024 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Not firing on all cylinders this year but was placed off much-reduced mark on consecutive days at Perth (2m4f, good) last month and has very obvious each-way claims if in similar form again here. |

2nd 7 |
26th Sep 2024 Good 2m 4f 20y Class 4 |
10st 6lb |
Three-time chase winner on good ground in 2023 (2m1f-2m5f); had been out of form this year but dropped to a dangerous mark and took second over C&D yesterday, which puts him firmly in the mix again. |

Only shown a modest level of form over hurdles and hasn't really improved in two starts for new stable since switched to fences, albeit last month's Worcester run was more encouraging; others appeal more. |

14th Sep 2023 Good 1m 3f 209y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Won over C&D (good to firm) on last summer's stable debut and ran big race from the front when third on seasonal reappearance at Newbury (1m5f, good) in July; not seen to same effect on soft ground last month but still has fairly low mileage and could be dangerous if allowed to dominate. |
