11st 12lb |
Returned from layoff with comfortable win at Worcester (2m7f, good) last June and made the frame on his next three outings (twice over C&D); returns from latest absence on career-high mark but good 3lb claimer Joe Anderson is enlisted; no surprise if he features. |

Returned from break with a win at Worcester (2m7f, good) in June and he's been a fair fourth off this 7lb higher mark at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good to soft/good) the last twice; has won here and could be thereabouts. |

Struggling before minor late gains at Market Rasen latest (2m5f, good) extended his losing run to 20; first drop into a 0-105 since July 2022 isn't sufficient on its own to persuade this is the day. |

28th Jul 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Three-time hurdle winner; last of five over C&D (good to soft) on last month's chasing debut but faced a fairly tough assignment that day and wasn't beaten far; entitled to have learned from that experience and is well handicapped now; one to consider. |
10/1 |

30th Jun 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
Three-time hurdle winner; posted some very respectable efforts in that sphere this spring (2m4f-2m7f) and makes chasing debut from a good mark but takes on three bang-in-form rivals who are already proven over fences. |
8/1 |

13th Jun 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 3 |

Arguably ran better than eventual 14l defeat suggests when weakening fourth at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good to soft) last month and is now 5lb lower than when winning at Doncaster (2m3f, good) in December; can play a major role if first-time cheekpieces have positive effect. |

1st Feb 2025 Heavy 2m 7f 98y Class 1 |
11st 1lb |
Has never tried this sort of trip with heavy ground but it could help; however, pulled up in this race in 2023 on his only visit to Sandown, went off the boil last January-May and although there's been a partial revival since, he needs better to take this warm race; 5lb claimer enlisted. |

Gradually finding his form this term; now 0-7 for current yard and appears to have the worst chance at the weights in this field but could perform well, having finished 2l third in this race last year. |

7th Jul 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Maiden hurdle winner in 2022 for Olly Murphy; recently beaten in staying handicaps won by I'm A Starman (runs earlier) at Warwick and Worcester and ran respectably in the latter when ahead of Faded Fantasy; every chance. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |

Still to add to April 2022's Perth maiden success for Olly Murphy (2m4f, good to soft), and this would be a bit better race than the Warwick 0-100 in which I'm A Starman beat him 31l last time. |

Front-runner (other pace in here) who was well held at a short price in this race in 2023; was beaten some way over hurdles, when back from a break following wind surgery, for new yard in June and needs to do much better. |

2nd May 2025 Good 4m 0f 97y Class 4 |

Signed off for Anthony Honeyball with a disappointing hurdle run last spring but seemingly back in good form in points for Harry Ryall this year, most notably when beating Assassins Lullaby by 7l in Cothelstone open (3m4f, good) in March; has cheekpieces refitted here; could have a say. |

Ended last year with two good-ground wins at Hereford (3m1f) and returned from break with good fourth at Plumpton (3m1f, good) in April; slightly disappointing on good to soft last month but may still have a bit more to offer; swaps blinkers for first-time visor today. |

Dual chase winner last summer (3m, good to soft/good) but his latest start over hurdles was in April 2022, and we haven't seen him since he ran as though something was amiss in October. |

Returned to form with two 3m wins this summer (good to soft/good) but was just a respectable third off today's career-high mark at Worcester (2m7f, good) in August and may find this race too competitive. |

Scored off today's mark in first-time cheekpieces at Kelso (3m2f, good) in September and also has a C&D success on his CV but has not been firing on all cylinders this year (with and without headgear). |

1st Jun 2024 Good To Soft 3m 2f 83y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Was entitled to run better than he did back on good ground at Haydock three weeks ago (3m) but that was a strong race; last season's peaks (at 3m2f/3m) bring him right into it off this mark. |
10/1 |

10th 7 |
11th May 2024 Good 3m 0f 58y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Well beaten over C&D (soft) last time; he can be effective on soft/heavy going but better ground may be preferable and he's very much of interest on his fine efforts last autumn, when winning at Kelso (3m2f, good) and finishing second of 20 at Cheltenham (3m, good to soft); on the shortlist. |
