22nd Oct 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 25y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Won twice over today's trip in the spring (good/good to soft) but looked unenthusiastic on last two appearances (Flat/hurdle) and needs today's headgear switch to give him a significant boost. |

16th Sep 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Won over C&D (good) and at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good to soft) in spring, but needs to prove he can still cope with a hurdle mark this high and looked very unenthusiastic (albeit on heavy ground) on the Flat recently. |

29th Aug 2024 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Five-time hurdle winner, the last twice this spring; not seen on the Flat since very underwhelming handicap debut in spring 2022 but copes well with ground slower than good and could turn out to be on a good mark; had another wind op (his fourth) last month. |

1st Nov 2024 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Came good over hurdles when trouncing three rivals here (2m7f, soft) in May and he ran to a similar level when second over same C&D the following month; now drops back in trip but he travelled smoothly on his penultimate run and still has scope for further progress; dangerous on his return. |

15th Jun 2024 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Came good over hurdles at seventh attempt, easily drawing clear to win small-field C&D (soft) race by 33l three weeks ago; it's hard to gauge what that form is worth but the forecast rain will suit him. |

15th Jun 2024 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
12st 2lb |
Very well handicapped on old chasing form and seemed to have turned a corner when fourth over hurdles at Ludlow (3m, good) in April but last month's Huntingdon fouth was a rather laboured effort and others in this field have more persuasive profiles; won't mind what the weather does. |
14/1 |

21st May 2024 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Lost his way over fences last season and was safely held when back over hurdles in February but last month's staying-on fourth at Ludlow (3m, good; about 6l behind Planet Legend) was much more encouraging, and he remains very well handicapped on older form. |

11th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Lightly raced and generally very disappointing since winning three consecutive hurdles on good ground in spring 2022 but arguably ran better than bare form suggests on last two outings, and makes chasing debut from another career-low mark; worth a second look. |

6th Apr 2026 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Below best on soft two starts ago but he showed tenacity when hanging on to his lead at Huntingdon (3m, good) last month under Rian Corcoran; back up 2lb but he can find further mild improvement; respected. |
6/4 |
|
1st 4 |
11th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Made the breakthrough in a first-time visor when scoring at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) in December and he followed up at Taunton (about 3m2f, good) at the end of that month; last of three finishers when up in grade on soft ground at Doncaster in January but good chance he can bounce back in this company on the forecast sounder surface. |

23rd Jan 2026 Good To Soft 2m 7f 214y Class 4 |
10st 7lb |
Has improved all of a sudden since fitted with this headgear, winning Class 5s at Market Rasen (3m, good to soft) and Taunton (3m2f, good); up another 8lb for last time but he had them well strung out and he's receiving plenty of weight from his rivals. |

18th Jul 2026 Good 2m 5f 34y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Nine-time chase winner including twice at Cartmel; didn't fire at Worcester in May but that was after a close second at Ffos Las (2m4f, good) and he's a player if he can recapture that form; not ruled out for yard that won this last year. |

22nd May 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Experienced chaser with a good strike rate (9-48 and placed on 20 other occasions); returned from a winter break not far off his best recent form when 1l second at Ffos Las (2m3f, good) last month; up 2lb but should again be thereabouts. |

18th Jul 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Bounced back to form with clearcut win at Hereford (3m1f, good to soft) in April and was placed off today's mark there the following month but her subsequent hurdle run was underwhelming and she needs to be perked up by a change of headgear. |
6/1 |

15th Jun 2024 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won in good style over fences at Hereford (3m1f, good to soft) in April, after a break, but was not quite in the same form over that C&D last month and would prefer the rain to stay away before this hurdling return. |
10/1 |
|
3rd 6 |
13th May 2024 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Suffered significant dip in form last season but returned from ten-week break with 5l win over C&D (good to soft) last month and remains well handicapped after a 3lb rise; will have something to prove if the ground turns soft but, otherwise, has strong claims. |

30th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Returned to form in the autumn, landing a deserved C&D success in October and running well in defeat on two subsequent starts up to around 3m; remains on a tough mark but should be all the sharper for this month's reappearance. |
8/1 |
|

6th Jun 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Came back to form in the autumn and gained a deserved success at Stratford (2m6f) in October, following that with two solid placed efforts off higher marks, latest at Hereford (3m2f) in November off 2lb lower and all on good ground; has a career-high mark to defy but is reliable and has gone well off a similar break before. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 7f 174y Class 5 |
12st 7lb |
Landed Alastair Ralph a fourth win from his last six runners when powering home in the debuted visor (replaced) at Stratford latest (2m6f, good); player, though he has never yet managed to follow up a win, and the penalty takes him 7lb above the mark defied in this race last year. |
