22nd Mar 2025 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Narrow C&D winner on soft last April on sole course start but not yet recaptured form since wind surgery, replacing cheekpieces with blinkers of no help on good ground last month; down the list for now. |

19th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 3m 2f 1y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Won at Bangor last spring off this mark (3m, soft); hasn't been at his best in two runs following wind surgery but there's always a chance that the new blinkers could help matters. |

3rd Feb 2025 Soft 3m 0f 110y Class 5 |

Form dipped sharply on New Year's Eve; ran well at this course (3m2f) earlier in December and that effort puts him in the picture. |

7th Feb 2025 Soft 3m 5f 142y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Has found improvement from somewhere to win back-to-back 3m2f handicaps with seemingly lots to spare, on soft and good to soft; raised in grade here and hit with 10lb for last time, but this 7yo looks firmly on the upgrade. |

7th Mar 2025 Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Irish raider; two sound runs since joining present yard, last month finishing 2l third over C&D (good to soft); should go well again. |
15/8 |

3rd 2 |
11th Feb 2025 Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Only win in 20 runs over fences was off 14lb lower at Roscommon (3m1f, soft) in August; creditable third to a subsequent winner at Down Royal on stable debut last month (2m4f, good to yielding; no headgear); headgear back on, having been absent last time; each-way chance. |

Has gained both wins here, the latest in this race 12 months ago (soft; 1lb higher); another good run here ten days ago so returns in good order. |
4/1 |

2nd 3 |
25th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Has gained both wins at Leicester; only a modest third over C&D most recently, taking record this season to 0-5; return to best form would give him a fighting chance off current mark. |

7th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 54y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Launched chasing career with two C&D wins (one in this race) last March and was very respectable third over C&D (soft; form has worked out very well) on belated seasonal debut in January; below form at Chepstow since but still needs to be taken very seriously. |

20th Apr 2024 Soft 3m 0f 30y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Three-time Irish point winner; promising fifth on his handicap debut over hurdles but then pulled up on chase debut (behind Nine Nine Nine) and again disappointed back hurdling here four weeks ago; now has a point to prove. |

23rd Mar 2024 Soft 2m 7f 32y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Three-time Irish point winner who made quite promising handicap hurdle debut when fifth at Uttoxeter (2m6f, heavy; first-time tongue-tie) in December; that form has worked out well but his chasing debut in January was very disappointing and he quickly reverts to hurdling with a point to prove. |
