30th Aug 2024 Good 2m 5f 135y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Battled on well to open chasing account at Uttoxeter (3m, good) in June and ran at least as well when close third there (3m2f, soft) last month; not sure to benefit from today's drop back in trip but still respected. |
4/1 |

3rd 5 |
17th Jul 2024 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Runner-up at Warwick (3m, good) in April, and toughed it out when deservedly off the mark over fences here (3m; beating Jean Genie by half a length) last month; 5lb higher - 1lb worse off with the runner-up - but should give another decent account. |

15th Jun 2024 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Seemed to have got his act together over fences when creditable second of 15 at Warwick (3m, good) in April but was slightly disappointing when only fourth here (2m5f, good to soft) last month and today's forecast rain is not in his favour; others preferred. |

17th Jul 2024 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Point winner (3m maiden); 0-29 under rules; runner-up to today's rival Barrakhov over 3m here (good) last month; raised 4lb since, albeit is 1lb better off with Barrakhov; fair chance. |
5/1 |

2nd 7 |
15th Jun 2024 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Won maiden point in March and returns to racing under rules after going close in restricted race last month; has 0-20 strike-rate in chases but is very well handicapped on old form and versatile regarding ground. |
10/1 |

23rd Mar 2023 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
27-race maiden who was unable to land a significant blow at Ffos Las (3m, good) this month; ought to cope with today's slower ground but needs a significant boost from the change of headgear. |

19th Sep 2025 Yielding 2m 5f 110y |
11st 9lb |
Two of three hurdles victories have come over C&D, including last time when winning off a mark of 109 (good); a pair of decent runs in defeat in prior chasing starts; he's in fine spirits at the moment and loves this track so has a lot going for him but softer conditions would pose a question. |
4/1 |

25th Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 180y |
11st 11lb |
Chasing the last twice, going close over 2m7f here and then a rallying third at Tramore (2m6f); won back-to-back handicap hurdles earlier this year but his mark took a knock and those recent chasing exploits were off much lower ratings; can still run well with a solid course record. |
3/1 |
|

15th Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 180y |
11st 4lb |
Gained back-to-back wins over hurdles in April/May, here off 88 (21.5f, yielding) and off 100 at Downpatrick (2m6f, good); now rated 109 over timber; denied by a head off lower chase mark by Thehairyfella on latest; up 3lb for that but good chance off 19lb lower chase mark. |

Yet to win in 11 attempts, four of them over fences; well beaten on last three starts, but may fare better after a break providing the ground isn't too soft. |

Three nothing runs have followed since going close over fences at Warwick in March; returns to hurdling with cheekpieces added but he's 5lb out of the weights. |

2nd Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
0-14 under rules; ran big race in defeat at Warwick (2m4f, good) in March, after a layoff, and has good claims if judged on that effort but but two non-completions have followed; others preferred. |

9th May 2025 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |

0-10 as a chaser but ran a good race in defeat at Warwick (2m4f, good) before falling early at Southwell; being 3lb out of the weights is not ideal but hard to rule out. |

Won over hurdles here (2m7f, good) a year ago; tailed off (bled from the nose) on chase debut in October but was not beaten far when reappearing over hurdles last month and may yet have a future over fences. |
