10th Jan 2024 Soft 1m 7f 201y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Lightly raced 9yo who won comfortably on stable debut at Hereford (2m, good) in November and battled on well to follow up over C&D (heavy; front pair clear) last month; effectively another 10lb higher from out of the weights today but might still be on the upgrade. |

0-10 over fences; gave good account when fourth at Hereford (2m, good) in November but his overall record is not persuasive, and he was safely held on latest outing two months ago. |

0-20 under rules; not as far out of the weights today as is sometimes the case but still makes only limited appeal in first-time blinkers. |

28th Aug 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

19-race maiden; modest form in 12 chase starts, although had a stiff task from a long way out of the weights last time; out of the handicap again but not entirely ruled out on the pick of past form. |

22nd Sep 2024 Good 2m 3f 164y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Generally disappointing since his two hurdle wins in 2022 but was prominent for a long way at Worcester (2m, good) recently and will be fine over today's longer trip; could have a say. |
10/1 |

6th 9 |
11th Sep 2024 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Generally disappointing since his two hurdle wins in 2022 but ran well in defeat in first-time visor at Hereford (2m, good) in January and was in front before saddle slipped at penultimate fence over C&D (good) in July; continues to slip down the weights and has possibilities if in right mood. |
7/1 |

Dual hurdle winner at around 2m2f on sound surfaces; good effort at Hereford (2m, good; first-time tongue-tie and visor) in January but little encouragement over fences or hurdles since. |

8th Jan 2024 Soft 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |

Winning Irish pointer but rules career has yet to get off the ground and she's achieved terribly little in handicaps over hurdles and fences; reverts to hurdles with something to prove in first-time cheekpieces. |

18th Dec 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 164y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Won off today's mark over hurdles at Fakenham (2m4f, good) in October 2022; made quite promising seasonal/chase debut at Hereford (2m, good) last month but was not travelling well when brought down at Hereford 19 days ago and his overall record is not compelling. |

29th Nov 2023 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |

Just 1-10 over hurdles but made a quite promising seasonal/chase debut when fourth over C&D (good) this month and can pose a potent threat if that outing has brought him on; 1lb out of the weights. |

29th Nov 2023 Good 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Fair Flat-racer; well beaten over hurdles this month but finished well to lead close home on recent chasing debut at Doncaster (2m, good); effectively 5lb higher here but, given the Flat ability, could still have a bigger run in him over fences. |
9/4 |

1st 9 |
17th Nov 2023 Good 2m 0f 78y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Has some fair Flat form on his CV but his record over hurdles is not inspiring and he's not bred for chasing; 1lb out of the weights here; others have much stronger claims. |
33/1 |

8th 14 |
10th Nov 2023 Soft 2m 0f 161y Class 5 |

Has been most competitive on the Flat (stays well) but remains a maiden and achieved nothing in two soft-ground handicap hurdles last season. |
