Record as a novice last term featured two wins at Taunton and creditable second at Aintree; however, absent since pulling up in the Swinton in May (had wind surgery soon after); market instructive. |

His first three races were for two other yards; ran in three handicaps for current stable, on second occasion coming home strongly from off the pace to win seven-runner race at Uttoxeter (2m4f, soft) despite some iffy jumping; however, he showed little at Taunton (2m3f, soft) one month ago; very mixed messages, therefore, despite the likely benefit on new trip. |

Has improved since stepping up in trip and going handicapping, getting off the mark in a mares' race at Huntingdon last time (3m1f, good) having finished runner-up in a C&D handicap (good; form worked out well) the time before; up 6lb; strong chance. |

24th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Expensive to follow during four-race spell for Harry Derham this year and safely held here (2m7f, good; bled from the nose) on last month's stable debut; had wind op soon after that latest run and now drops back in trip; too risky. |

Beaten favourite on all four starts for Harry Derham this year, if only just at Uttoxeter last month (3m, good; first cheekpieces); respected on this stable debut, though bled from the nose when last seen. |

Completed a hat-trick in handicap hurdles at about 2m3f (good to soft/soft) before finishing tailed off on her chase debut two months ago; even if back on song returned to hurdles, she's 10lb higher than for last win which was gained only narrowly. |

Well backed when getting off the mark at Hereford (2m3f, good to soft) in December and again did it comfortably when defying a 10lb rise to follow up there (2m3f, soft) 11 days ago; under a 7lb penalty she's 7lb ahead of the handicapper and could take all the beating. |

Now 9lb below the mark of her sole hurdling success (2m3f, heavy), but aptitude for chasing remains unproven, falling mid-race on one attempt and racing too freely on the other. |

Mid-race faller in sole chase attempt; has a doubt over current form but is nicely treated assuming this return to fences prompts a resurgence; gained sole hurdles success off 5lb higher. |
