27th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
A fair 2m3f hurdles scorer for John Joseph Hanlon but he ended his time there below par; starts out for his new yard on a handy-looking mark though so he's not without interest on the back of wind surgery; visor replaces blinkers. |

17th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Dual hurdles winner at around 2m3f (stays 2m4f); well beaten in all three starts for this trainer; handy mark as a result and support for him would be interesting. |

6th Jun 2024 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Winning Irish pointer; successful in two novice hurdles in 2022 (2m1f/2m2f, good to soft); had wind surgery after that and rather patchy form over fences and hurdles since, best recent run when second in handicap hurdle at Carlisle in March (2m3f, soft). |

30th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |

Form figures of 212 here, latterly only narrowly failing to make all over C&D (soft); 3lb higher and without the claim of Charlie Maggs, but still a strong contender. |

24th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 2m 3f 218y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Remains a maiden after 14 starts but he's consistent and was a good third over C&D (soft) in March; didn't quite see out 3m1f here later that month; has had wind op since and holds each-way claims on his return. |

30th Mar 2024 Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 4 |

Consistent maiden who was close up over 3m at Ayr (just behind Artic Mann) before finishing third here where dropping back to 2m3f found him out (was staying on); unlikely to be far away. |

22nd Apr 2024 Heavy 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Ex-Irish; has won three chases for this yard, the latest at Carlisle in April 2022 (2m5f, good); creditable fourth over hurdles from well out of the handicap on same track last month, but went up the ratings following that and others now look better treated. |
14/1 |

30th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 3f 61y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Not the most reliable these days but was under 5l away in a C&D handicap three weeks ago when a stone out of the weights (behind Masked Crusader); remains to be seen if that flattered him and he's off the same mark here. |

Departed early here 18 days ago; has become hard to predict and would prefer further ideally; there's also the major hindrance of being 10lb out of the weights. |

2nd Jun 2025 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |

0-9 over fences but twice runner-up; has another go in this discipline on the back of a comfortable win over hurdles here (2m4f, good) in a race he also won 12 months earlier; now rated 10lb lower as a chaser so has obvious claims. |

9lb lower when an easy winner of this 12 months ago but he can deal with this mark and latest close third at Ffos Las (good to soft) was commendable given he likes good ground; could very easily win this again. |

Thriving of late and comes here on after handicap wins at Market Rasen (2m4f) and over C&D this summer; up another 4lb but has good chance for the hat-trick. |

In fine fettle since introduced to a visor; runner-up at Market Rasen (2m7f) in June, before dropping in trip (2m4f), and winning, on his next visit to the Lincolnshire venue a few weeks later; still nicely weighted on peak form despite a 6lb rise; obvious chance. |

Nine-race maiden over hurdles but has placed form and he won six on the Flat; made a bright start over fences in January but didn't fancy it at Huntingdon and refused early; the cheekpieces are off but wouldn't be a surprise to see him run well. |

Maiden hurdle winner; has failed to go on from a respectable first run over fences and left former yard for £4,000 before finishing tailed off on stable debut at Market Rasen two months ago; the tongue-tie tried there is absent this time with cheekpieces retained. |
