11st 13lb |
Made all to win novice handicaps at Exeter (2m2f, good) and Ffos Las in April (2m, good); pulled up after early error on chase debut at Ffos Las last time; up 14lb (raised 7lb for each win); could go well but may find others better treated. |

18th Jul 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Awarded the race when forcing a dead-heat at Huntingdon (2m4f, good to soft) in May and ran well when just over 8l fourth under Ben Sutton to Indian Sunbird over C&D 17 days ago; closely matched with that rival on the revised terms and shouldn't be far away. |

1st Jul 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Pulled up (bled from the nose) on penultimate start; 6-4 that day and straight back to form, awarded the race, when forcing a dead-heat at Huntingdon (near 2m4f, good to soft) 17 days later; back up 2lb, he should be suited by stepping up in distance and should run well if his issues are now behind him. |

Has form figures of 123132 since November and her latest second at Ludlow (2m, soft) was behind a big improver; only 1lb higher here and she should be in the thick of things again. |

Signs of retaining ability in two races at Newbury this term; however, the 8yo has been beaten in this contest for the last two years (fourth in 2022, eighth in 2023); others preferred. |

Held off modest marks over hurdles this spring; competitively weighted on best Flat form but the 8yo needs to prove he's still capable of showing it; first start under this code in 2024. |

Came from off the pace to win comfortably over 2m here (good to soft) this month and reportedly lost his action at Bangor; struggles with consistency but has a big run in him. |

Back in excellent nick when coming from off the pace to win comfortably by over 7l at Ffos Las (2m, good to soft) 11 days ago and now 4-11 over fences; 8lb higher here but could still have a bigger performance in him. |

29th May 2024 Good 2m 1f 61y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Runner-up in three consecutive chases at start of this year (2m1f-2m3f) but was no match for wide-margin winner on last two occasions, and his form has dipped this spring; 6lb wrong today; others look stronger. |

Well-held sixth last time over hurdles but had finished runner-up in three chases before then, albeit well held in two of those; 0-16 under rules and 2lb out of the weights here. |

22nd Apr 2024 Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |

Struggled at big prices in his three qualifying runs (2m-2m5f) but it is still very early days for this well-bred 5yo; half-brother to a 2m hurdle winner and it wouldn't be a surprise if he showed a lot more back at this trip on his handicap debut; tongue-tie added. |

22nd Apr 2024 Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Close up when third in first two handicaps, but only four ran at Southwell (2m, heavy) in February and he was well below that form at Bangor last month; still lightly raced and now drops back in grade but he needs to find more progress. |

23rd Mar 2024 Soft 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |

Close up when third in first two handicaps, albeit only four ran at Southwell (2m, heavy) five weeks ago; can probably win a low-grade race at some stage but others in this line-up have more pressing claims. |

22nd Apr 2024 Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |

Bumper winner in France but he's generally struggled in Britain and has failed to complete in chase handicaps in his last two runs; dropped another 4lb but he needs a transformation back over hurdles. |

21st Feb 2024 Soft 1m 7f 212y Class 5 |

Bumper winner in France; has far-from-solid claims on British form but he's in good hands and unexposed over fences; admittedly well held when unseating rider two out at Ffos Las (2m; 11-2 for chase debut) most recently. |

Nine-race maiden who has been pulled up in two staying handicaps since returning from another long absence; out of the weights on this big drop back in trip and can only be watched; cheekpieces added. |
