21st Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Lightly raced 6yo who won a Hereford maiden hurdle 11 months ago (2m3f, good to soft); let down by his jumping when returning from wind surgery for his chase debut and then backed out rather tamely on his return to hurdles (2m5f); back from another break here and comes with risks. |

Didn't jump well when fourth of six on last month's chase debut at Kempton; won a maiden hurdle at Hereford (2m3f, good to soft) in April and this lightly raced 5yo retains potential for his top yard now back in this sphere. |

Something to prove regarding current form having been pulled up last month on her first two chase starts, but she won three novice hurdles in a row here last spring and could stage a revival now back in this discipline. |

Six-race maiden who ran well (staying-on second) over C&D last month on debut for new yard; upped in class but receives weight all round and has possibilities provided he takes well to first-time cheekpieces. |

Yet to make any significant further progress since 7l win at Hereford (2m, good to soft) in November but her fourth at Warwick (2m, soft) in February was a pretty good effort; ought to be better suited by today's faster ground and has possibilities if the new cheekpieces have any positive effect. |

Only 1-9 over hurdles but has been reliable since sent handicapping, winning at Hereford in November (2m, good to soft); reportedly unsuited by heavy ground the last time; each-way claims. |

17th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 210y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Won in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) on his handicap and chase debut at Leicester (2m6f, soft) in December, and bounced back from lesser run on good ground at Catterick to win by 6l at Sedgefield (3m2f, soft) three weeks ago; drops back in trip today but at a stiff track and this progressive 6yo could take his latest 7lb rise in his stride. |

Ran encouragingly at this course (2m5f, good to soft; hurdles debut) on last appearance and, having met spots of trouble, the bare form needs marking up; looks interesting. |

Hasn't had a lot of racing and ran a positive first race for this yard with the tongue-tie added at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good); didn't quite last home and he's down in distance; respected. |

22nd Aug 2024 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |

Well beaten in both handicap hurdles for Sheila Lewis (3m/2m3f) and subsequently pulled up on chasing debut; difficult to fancy on that evidence but still worth a glance in the betting before this stable debut; tongue-tie added. |

Finished third of six finishers in an Irish point in February but he hasn't shown a lot over hurdles in Britain as yet and was beaten a long way in his two handicaps; switches to fences at a modest level but makes limited appeal. |
