10st 12lb |
Stays well and ended last season with wins at Newcastle (2m7f, heavy) and Perth (3m, soft) in April; these conditions suit but she lacks a recent run and starts the season on a career-high mark. |

Second in a handicap hurdle at this meeting in 2024 (3m, soft); two chase wins over 2m4f on good to soft this season and an excellent second in a strong race at Market Rasen on last completed start (3m, good); below par next time; chance. |

Yet to win over hurdles, but good run in first-time cheekpieces (retained) when second at Musselburgh last time (2m4f, soft); shapes as though this longer trip could suit; interesting. |

Only his second handicap when going close at Newcastle (2m1f, heavy) in February and, on this very different track, he could bounce back from his remote third at Hexham; cheekpieces added. |

20th Jul 2024 Good 2m 7f 191y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Battled well for narrow win at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) last month and followed up with front-running success at Perth (3m, good) 16 days ago; now 6-22 over fences; must be considered in current mood. |

4th Jul 2024 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 5 |

Capitalised on a reduced mark when gamely landing 3m2f handicap chase at Newton Abbot 29 days ago; back up 4lb but he's still not taken lightly. |

5th Jun 2024 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 4 |

His sixth in the Eider was his best run since rejoining this yard from a spell in Ireland; didn't run too badly last time at Perth (3m) and entitled to be competitive off this low a mark. |

25th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 41y Class 5 |

Displayed some aptitude for chasing back in March 2022 (his last run in this sphere) and he's on a handy mark judged on hurdle form here in November 2024; however, he hasn't been at his best on his last three hurdle starts (two here) and remains without a win since March 2021. |

2m5f winner at Ayr in January; bit cold in the meantime and well behind Belvedere Blast at Cartmel most recently; she's not out the weights this time but will still do well to reverse those placings. |

Returned to form with a 20-1 win in first-time cheekpieces at Ayr (2m5f, soft) in January but her next two runs were disappointing and she's 5lb out of the weights here. |

Struggled off lowly mark in Newcastle handicap chase on latest outing in November and is now 0-17 under all codes; 5lb out of the weights here; tongue-tie refitted; can't be recommended. |
