22nd Mar 2025 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |
11st 3lb |
Well beaten on soft ground on last three starts; has won on such going previously but maybe better ground is preferable and he's just 1lb higher than when winning at Southwell (2m4f, good) last April; not written off. |

Returned to form with a near miss at Southwell in April and he got back on the scoresheet at Market Rasen (2m4f, good) the following month; up another 3lb but he was as good as ever last time and should be in the thick of things again. |

10yo who is very lightly raced for his age; won at Southwell (2m4f, good) last May and has also scored on heavy ground; however, he failed to threaten over hurdles then fences last June and this is his first outing since. |

13th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 4f 62y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Bought for £3,000 out of Tom Lacey's yard at Doncaster last May having won two Catterick handicaps over 1m7f earlier in the year; this ground fine and not disgraced when tried over 2m4f/3m; probably best watched on stable debut having been off since April. |

23rd Apr 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Displayed sudden jolt of improvement to win twice at Catterick (1m7f, soft) in early part of this year and the form of his subsequent Newcaslte second (2m1f, heavy) reads well; unexposed over this sort of trip but needs to bounce back from a poor performance four weeks ago. |

Three-time hurdle winner on good ground (2m5f-3m); still early days over fences and he's getting the hang of things judged on his second at Fakenham (3m5f), albeit in a very small field; thereabouts. |

7th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 216y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Returned from break with clearcut wins at Stratford (2m1f, good to soft) and here (2m, good; three ran) for new stable towards end of last season; contests this much stronger race from 3lb out of the weights but the move back up in trip will suit and he's evidently in very good nick. |
