2nd Jul 2024 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Came clear to win Hereford maiden (2m, good to firm) last autumn; well beaten on handicap debut the following month but made a pleasing reappearance when fourth at Uttoxeter (2m, good) in June and may still have potential. |

6th Jun 2024 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Came clear in a mares' maiden on fast ground at Hereford (2m) and could be forgiven her modest handicap debut as she perhaps found 2m4f too far and a late mistake didn't help; not yet exposed. |

Jumps to the left went unpunished when running away with a Hereford mares' maiden last month (2m, good to firm); recipient of wind surgery since last tried over today's longer trip (3m Irish point winner even further back) and although initial mark is no gift her case is strong. |

Six hurdle wins (one over C&D) in his time and he might have just needed last month's run after his winter break; has a workable mark and is one to consider. |

22nd May 2025 Good To Firm 2m 0f 45y Class 5 |
8st 4lb |
Three-time winner over hurdles but Flat career has been just four races on Tapeta, fading into fourth of eight off this mark when upped to 2m last month for Flat handicap debut (disqualified; jockey failed to weigh in); switches to turf and needs improvement. |

9st 5lb |
Four wins last year including one over hurdles and two over this trip on the Flat; just 2lb above his last winning mark, but needs to put a tame effort at Nottingham (1m6f, good) last month behind him. |

An excellent Flat campaign last year yielded three turf wins under Rose Dawes from May to October and he's been in AW/hurdles action this winter; absent 11 weeks but has to be considered seriously. |

Both hurdle wins have been here, the latest over this trip last April (good; off 3lb lower); three Flat wins since, including on soft ground; should go well. |

2nd Jul 2024 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Seemed to respond well to first-time blinkers when very respectable third at Fontwell (2m1f, good) in May but is 0-7 over hurdles now and has essentially become disappointing. |

Early promise over hurdles for Alan King but has gone the wrong way, including in three starts for this yard (the tongue-tie going on); blinkers are now added; probably best watched. |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Dual 2m5f course winner in early part of last season; returned from five-month break with low-key run here 18 days ago but is versatile regarding ground and his current mark is workable; can feature if that recent outing brought him on. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
All of his three victories have been at Fontwell including two chase wins over an extended 2m5f (good to soft); beaten 9l when runner-up here in December but that was behind an improver and he's still lightly raced in this sphere; respected back in trip on his return. |

29th Aug 2025 Good 2m 5f 135y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Course hurdle winner last summer (2m1f, good), having made most of the running; held up in rear and never looked dangerous when fourth of six on last month's chasing debut at Stratford (2m3f, good) but that was his first run since the autumn and a return to more positive tactics might show him in a better light here. |

Remote fourth in his two chases and now returns to hurdles, over which he has run well off higher marks; ground/trip fine and blinkers are now tried (effective in cheekpieces); possibilities. |

11st 1lb |
Won at Uttoxeter in October and good third at Newcastle later that month; however, he's been well beaten on his last two starts and needs to turn things around now in blinkers; cheekpieces were given a go last time. |

Veteran mare who is better known as a chaser now; no longer the force of old but her recent efforts have been respectable and she runs this track well; of interest off her lower hurdle mark. |

Well beaten when 80-1 for last month's handicap debut at Newton Abbot (2m2f, good to soft; first-time blinkers) and effectively on the same mark here; moves up in trip with tongue-tie added. |

21st Jul 2024 Good To Soft 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |

Modest form in a bumper and three hurdles; this is a more suitable level but still has plenty to find; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces. |
