24th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 4f 20y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Pulled up on chase debut at Chepstow in October and merely third of four at Newbury (2m4f, heavy) last time, although that has proved to be a warm little race; this 6yo remains lightly raced for top yard and may find a chunk of improvement at some stage; won on soft/good to soft over hurdles. |

24th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 4f 20y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
Reappeared with a win at Carlisle (2m, soft) last October and has run well when second/third off this mark on his five starts since (1m7f-2m4f, heavy/soft); vulnerable if bumping into one ahead of their mark but he can give another good account; no surprise if he comes out on top. |

Third reserve; would have won without falling at Down Royal last time; worth a look if he gets in. |

24th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 4f 20y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Won maiden hurdle at Ayr (2m3f, heavy) in February and was 1l ahead and going okay when falling three out in novice chase at Down Royal (2m3f, soft) last month; has the ability to play a part but jumping issues have been a feature of his light chasing career so he comes with risks attached. |

23rd Jun 2024 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won twice on slow ground for Nicky Richards last season (1m7f/2m) and is also suited by a sound surface but did not fire on either start for new stable in the spring and now has questions to answer. |

9th Jun 2024 Good 2m 4f 20y Class 3 |

in touch with leaders on inner, not fluent 6th, short of room and hampered after 8th, soon lost position, pushed along after 11th, struggling when mistake 4 out |

24th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 4f 20y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Two wins from final three starts for Nicky Richards (1m7f/2m, heavy/soft); looked fortunate at Newcastle on second occasion (left well clear two out) but that form still reads well; versatile ground-wise and won over an extended 2m3f on hurdles; not ruled out on stable debut (same ownership). |

24th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 4f 20y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
This year's form figures did read 1121 (2m4f/2m3f, soft) prior to him being pulled up at Carlisle (2m4f, heavy) last time; something to prove after that but he lost both hind shoes so may be worth another chance. |

11st 12lb |
Denied hat-trick when second to the highly progressive Prairie Wolf at Catterick (2m3f, soft) in February and back to winning ways at Wetherby (2m3f, soft) three weeks ago; he's 10lb higher than when beating four rivals last time but did it easily and is clearly thriving; entitled to respect. |

Won when back up in trip at Lingfield (2m4f, soft) in February and bounced back from lesser run to win in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Southwell (2m4f, heavy) three weeks ago; had just two rivals to beat last time but he's progressive and entitled to respect today. |
