Form: PP5631 CD

Last run: 21 days

W: 12st 0lb

8 yo Gelding

Useful in France and now getting it together for current connections following wind surgery, beating an in-form horse (a winner before and since) over C&D three weeks ago (heavy); could still be well handicapped despite the 7lb rise.

Won a handicap hurdle for Micky Hammond, whom he left for £4,000; respectable first run for this yard at Lingfield (2m hurdle, soft) but he may still be a shade too high in the weights on this belated return to fences (won in France).

Form & Verdict
0-5 in Irish points and seven defeats over hurdles there included three handicaps; however, the signs were more encouraging when beaten 14l in a 2m1f handicap at Sedgefield on November's debut for this yard, keeping on after getting outpaced; this track could be more to his liking.

Moderate form prior to wind surgery but appeared to have benefited from that when running on to be a close second here (2m4f, soft) recently; step up in trip looks positive; up 2lb but he's a player if backing that up.

Now 0-15 but she's consistent enough and hasn't been far away the last twice in 2m1f soft-ground handicaps at Sedgefield; should be able to nick one of these sooner or later.

Shot up 16lb for her back-to-back wins (2m3f/2m5f) and, although a bad mistake was no help when last to finish at Carlisle, it could be that the handicapper has caught up with her.

Thriving mare who bids to compete a hat-trick after clear wins at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) and over C&D (good to soft) this year; shooting up the weights but needs to be taken very seriously in current form.

Won by 10l on reappearance here (2m4f, soft) in November and, after not staying 3m at Ayr, she bounced back with an easy, all-the-way win at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) 12 days ago; 8lb higher in a tougher race today but this progressive 8yo could still be ahead of the handicapper.
