25th May 2025 Good To Firm 2m 2f 25y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
2-42 when trained in Ireland; respectable fourth under Ben Smith at Carlisle (2m1f, good to soft) in February was easily the best of her four races for new yard; 7lb lower today but she probably can't be relied upon. |

5th Jan 2024 Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Useful Flat-racer at his best; yet to fully transfer that ability to hurdles but he was a fair second behind an easy Irish-trained winner at Bangor (2m, heavy) three weeks ago and may still have more to offer in this code. |
6/1 |

2nd 2 |
15th Dec 2023 Heavy 2m 0f 145y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Useful Flat-racer at his best; yet to build upon last winter's quite promising hurdling debut but, following a break, ran well to a point on recent handicap debut at Sedgefield (2m1f, soft); sports first-time blinkers here and has possibilities if that recent outing brought him on. |
4/1 |

28th Nov 2023 Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Five wins at up to 2m on the Flat for Hughie Morrison and his final appearance was under that code when tailed off in the consolation race for the Chester Cup in May; had shown some ability over hurdles before then and now makes his handicap hurdle debut in a modest race. |

Modest on the Flat and over hurdles; went off at 50-1 for recent chase debut here and ran accordingly; cheekpieces return. |

27th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 0f 8y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Modest on the Flat and over hurdles and he's 0-19 across both codes; needs to improve for the switch to fences if he's to win this. |

4th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
0-17 over hurdles; on a good mark now and his poor run behind Ismael on heavy ground in December can probably be overlooked but he'd appeal much more on a quicker surface. |

Chased home Blue Yonder in this race last year (blinkered first time); absent since finishing third in a 2m handicap here 355 days ago; perhaps best watched. |

15th Dec 2023 Heavy 2m 0f 145y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Very lightly raced since Irish point win in May 2021 and absent since struggling in Southwell maiden 13 months ago; remains unexposed under rules but it takes a leap of faith to support him here. |
8/1 |

7th 2 |
11th Nov 2022 Good 1m 7f 182y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Irish point winner; has poor claims on hurdles form and is best watched unless the market speaks positively on return from layoff. |
