7th Mar 2025 Soft 3m 0f 20y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Ten-race maiden; fair third over 1m7f at Hexham in April (heavy); subsequently had wind surgery and hasn't run as well since, last time with cheekpieces tried; blinkers on this time and also up in trip (first run at 3m); improvement needed. |

Eyecatching third at Hexham last April and he's on a handy mark on that form; however, he's been soundly beaten on both runs this winter and needs to raise his game in first-time cheekpieces. |

22nd Jul 2024 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Looked in excellent nick when winning by 5l at Hexham (1m7f, good) in June, and ran well again there from out of the weights in higher-grade race a few days later; suited by this track too and versatile regarding trip; must be considered. |
6/1 |

23rd Jun 2024 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 4 |

Gained three of his five chase wins over C&D, the latest by 5l from Dream Jet in Class 5 event eight days ago (good ground); effectively 11lb higher from 5lb out of the weights in this higher-grade contest but evidently in prime form. |

Acts on heavy; 4-6 at Hexham, including a win in this race three years ago; out of sorts for new yard this term but first-time blinkers may prompt a revival off reduced mark. |

Dual hurdle winner; things haven't quite clicked as yet over fences but she wasn't far away at Catterick (2m3f, good) two runs back and didn't run too badly here last time given she met with some late interference; not dismissed. |

Has not been firing on all cylinders this year but was placed over hurdles in the summer and didn't run badly on slower-than-ideal ground when back over fences at Carlisle (2m, good to soft) last month; competes off another career-low mark here; a possible if the ground is closer to good. |

17-race maiden; best effort since a lengthy absence was when second, trying to make all, at Kelso (2m1f, soft) in March; a repeat of that would give him a chance but recent form has been below par and he has it to prove over this far. |
