Won four times in a row on good/good to soft ground at Newton Abbot (3m2f) this summer but his improvement seems to have levelled off now and he was pulled up on soft ground a fortnight ago. |

26th Jul 2024 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Three-time chase winner, most recently when holding on well at Fontwell (3m2f, good) in May; bumped into a massive improver when well-held second at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good; first-time binkers) this month; ought to be on the premises again here. |

2nd 4 |
5th Jul 2024 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |

3-7 over fences, battling well to score at Fontwell (3m2f, good) last month from a subsequent winner; up 5lb but he pulled a long way clear with the runner-up last time and remains open to further progress over fences; respected with blinkers added. |

14th Oct 2024 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Just 1-10 over fences but ran well in defeat in first-time blinkers at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) in August and was placed (over hurdles) on both previous visits to Hereford; no surprise if he features. |

3rd 5 |
5th Jul 2024 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
1-8 over fences and mostly running well but he can throw in the odd modest effort and wasn't at his best behind Doctor Foley at Fontwell in May last time out; could well leave that effort behind back today and he needs considering. |

0-14 under all codes; posted some good efforts over fences at Newton Abbot this summer but was pulled up at Fontwell three weeks ago and needs to put that run behind him; hood removed after one use. |

26th Mar 2025 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
Won at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good to soft) last July and is now 1lb lower, but that's his sole win from 21 attempts over fences and he's struggled on his last few starts; a major turnaround is required. |

Latest chase success was a 3m3f handicap at Stratford in August (good to firm); fair efforts afterwards and 2m5f looked too sharp at Fakenham five days ago; one of two good chances for Evan Williams. |

26th Jul 2024 Good 3m 2f 13y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Didn't run badly when sixth over C&D (good) last month but generally disappointing since returning from long absence for new stable this year, and was a long way behind Doctor Foley at Newton Abbot three weeks ago. |

7th 3 |
5th Jul 2024 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Four chase wins at up to 3m5f, most recently in September 2021; well treated on old form but beaten 34l by Doctor Foley at Fontwell in May and has plenty to find, having not really shone in two runs since. |
14/1 |

28th Jun 2024 Good 3m 0f 30y Class 4 |

Four-time chase winner at up to 3m5f on a variety of ground; last success was in September 2021 but he's well treated on his old form and showed signs of a revival when sixth of 13 at Uttoxeter (3m, good) last time; wasn't beaten far in that race and has possibilities if he can take another step back in right direction. |

5th Jul 2024 Good 3m 1f 170y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Irish point winner in 2022 and made winning British/hurdle debut that November but something amiss when pulled up early two weeks later; weak in the market when pulled up back from absence at Hereford in May on handicap debut and can only be watched on chase debut; cheekpieces added. |

Winner at Taunton (twice) and Wincanton, so ought to enjoy this course; back up 2lb for not winning last time, however, and potential pace rivals await (most probably Boys Of Wexford for one). |

Hasn't won since 2021 (3m, good) and has failed to build on a respectable third in a Market Rasen handicap chase in December (carried out once); has plenty to prove from out of the weights. |
