Inconsistent last term but won at this track (2m3f, heavy) and Ayr (2m5f, soft); ran well both starts this season but needs to find extra and two of his poor performances last term were his only two attempts at this sort of trip. |

28th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 6f 93y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Irish maiden point winner; found his feet over hurdles in the spring after wind surgery and has raised his game further over fences this season, on second attempt winning by 10l when cheekpieces were added for a handicap at Southwell (extended 2m4f, good to soft); likely to stay 2m6f and looks seriously interesting despite 10lb rise. |

Irish point winner; slow to find his feet over hurdles but he had useful handicap form in the spring and there was plenty to like about his chase debut in a higher grade at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) in October; has improvement to come; cheekpieces added. |

11st 3lb |
Unsuccessful in his hat-trick bid at Uttoxeter in December but he was running well when almost coming down at the last; previously impressive at Bangor (2m4f, soft) in November and this lightly raced 6yo may not have reached his limit just yet; one of two serious contenders for his stable. |

Displayed good turn of foot to settle competitive race at Bangor (2m4f, soft) last month and is now 2-2 over fences; that form is working out well and he could still be ahead of the handicapper after latest 9lb rise. |

20th Oct 2024 Good 3m 5f 48y Class 2 |
11st 5lb |
Has done very well this season for new yard over fences, winning twice at Perth (2m4f, good) and going close there (2m4f, good) last time; he's going into the unknown stamina-wise but was a close second over 3m2f at Newton Abbot (good to soft) in July and this progressive 7yo is not ruled out. |

26th Sep 2024 Good 2m 4f 20y Class 3 |

Sent straight chasing by Donald McCain and has finished first or second in all four starts from 2m4f to 3m2f; jumped well out in front to win over C&D 17 days ago off just 2lb lower; might be vulnerable to something better handicapped but has a solid chance. |

He may have needed last month's comeback run here (soundly beaten) and he continues to drop down the weights, but for good reason; last season was disappointing in the main; needs to turn things around; a tongue-tie goes on. |

5-12 over hurdles and close second of five in novice handicap at Plumpton (2m4f) last month on chase debut, staging a major rally in third-time cheekpieces; back up just 1lb and although his four forays beyond 2m5f have not worked out, he's worth another shot at it on that latest evidence. |

Had a long spell of mediocre results but he's much better handicapped now and his recent run behind Dreaming Blue at Ludlow (3m1f, good to soft) showed he was turning a corner for his new yard; needs more but he could be just at the start of a comeback; not dismissed. |
