17th Jan 2025 Good To Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Bumper and maiden hurdle winner (3m, soft) who ran well for a long way on last month's chase and handicap debut at Ludlow (2m4f, good to soft), which came after a 288-day break; shaped as though he needed that run and he could have a part to play now back up in trip. |

18th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 11y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Irish bumper win came over this far (made all) and he's added a 3m hurdle since, so assertive strategy likely here; chase/point scorers in pedigree (nephew of prolific Templer) augur well for a move to fences. |

6th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Seemingly boosted by first-time cheekpieces when keeping-on third over C&D (good to soft) in April but last month's Uttoxeter run was a backward step and she's now 0-9 over hurdles; others preferred. |

17th May 2025 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Went with renewed vim fitted with cheekpieces at Bangor last month (retained here), that additionally representing her best effort yet on good to soft under rules; replication of previous efforts on this even quicker going won't suffice. |

28th May 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Irish point winner who has finished in the frame in two bumpers and four hurdles, including on March's handicap debut at Hexham (2m7f) when appearing not to last home on testing ground; bettered that over 2m4f since, shaping as though she'd be worth another go at this distance given a sounder surface; interesting off 2lb lower. |

5th Jan 2024 Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Third on debut in Irish maiden point last March but pulled up next twice and has also struggled on his two hurdle starts (big odds both times). |

18th Nov 2023 Soft 2m 3f 154y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Fair third on debut in Irish maiden point (3m, heavy) in March but pulled up next time (3m, yielding) and he was tailed off at 150-1 on recent rules debut at Carlisle (2m4f, soft); hard to fancy. |

19th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Good-ground Irish point winner; unexposed under rules but failed to build upon last month's fairly encouraging chase/handicap debut (2m1f) when pulled up 12 days ago (2m5f); drops back in trip here; hood removed. |

7th Jun 2024 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Good-ground Irish point winner who is unexposed under rules; just a respectable sixth on last month's chase/handicap debut at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) but today's longer trip can unlock improvement; interesting. |
