25th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Mark over a stone in excess of that for last June's Uttoxeter win (2m4f, good) is owed to some good runs in defeat since; 142-day absence won't be an issue judged on last October's effort after similar. |

3rd Feb 2025 Good To Soft 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Opened account with 5l win at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last June and placed on all four starts since (2m3f-2m7f, good-soft); seems very likely to give another good account and be on the premises again. |

11st 8lb |
Too good for a heavily backed subsequent winner when opening account at Fontwell (2m5f, good to soft) last month; not quite in same form when well-held second off same mark a few days later and an 8lb rise has now taken effect but she remains of interest. |

Came good over hurdles at eighth attempt in conditional jockeys' race at Fontwell (2m5f, good to soft) last week; pulled well clear of the others with the heavily backed runner-up there and escapes a penalty; needs to be taken very seriously. |

Won a good-ground bumper in September 2021 but, following a long absence, he finished down the field last month on his first two hurdle starts (2m, heavy/soft) and has to raise his game in a big way. |

0-14 over hurdles but lost out only by a neck here (2m6f, good; refitted cheekpieces) in July and ran much better than bare form of 26l defeat might suggest at Fontwell (2m5f, good) last week; might be the answer. |

0-13 over hurdles but has been knocking on the door in recent months; went up 3lb for his close second at Stratford (2m6f, good) last time but capable amateur Alex Chadwick claims a useful 5lb here; respected. |

Launched handicap career with two respectable fifths for Harriet Dickin this spring, latterly in first-time cheekpieces at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good); needs to take a step forward here but had wind surgery in June and it will be interesting to see what Donald McCain can do with him. |

11st 6lb |
Off the mark over hurdles at fifth attempt, rallying gamely to regain lead on run-in at Market Rasen (2m4f, good) last week; has plenty of scope for further progress but the forecast rain is a worry here. |

Fourth in a bumper in October 2022 (2m1f, good); not shown a great deal over hurdles and well beaten after a break at Musselburgh when last seen out in December (tongue-tie on for first time); probably best watched on return from another break. |

Winning pointer but just 1-30 under rules, the win coming over hurdles at Southwell (2m4f, soft) last May; fair third of eight over fences at Leicester (2m4f, soft) 13 days ago and each-way claims on that performance, despite being 3lb out of the weights. |
