14th Jul 2024 Good 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
0-11 over hurdles but pretty consistent in handicaps (barring one poor run on heavy ground); bang there at Stratford (2m6f, good) and Worcester (2m4f, good) on last two outings and the same looks likely today. |

0-10 over hurdles but pretty consistent in handicaps (barring one poor run on heavy ground); clear second to a revitalised opponent at Stratford (2m6f, good) in May; probably won't be far away. |

7th Sep 2024 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
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. |

30th Aug 2024 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
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. |

Posted best of three runs for new stable this season when third at Stratford (2m6f, good) last month; gets another chance off the same mark and could plausibly have untapped potential over the new trip. |

5th May 2024 Heavy 1m 6f 44y Class 6 |
8st 12lb |
Ended last year in poor form over hurdles and was again well beaten when returned to the Flat in February (1m4f, AW): needs subsequent wind op to have made a massive difference; swaps cheekpieces for refitted blinkers. |

27th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Only beaten about 11l in first two handicaps (2m5f/2m4f) but took backward step when tailed off over C&D last month and now has a point to prove. |

14th Jul 2024 Good 2m 6f 7y Class 5 |

Hood accompanied the tongue-tie on handicap debut at Warwick (2m5f, good) in May and he came from a detached last of six to finish 11l fourth; no hood next time or today; although he was not discredited at Market Rasen on that latest outing, others have more solid claims. |

22nd Aug 2024 Good 3m 2f 105y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Tailed off in first-time cheekpieces (retained) last month and now 0-9 over hurdles, but lost out only narrowly to a progressive rival at Fakenham (2m7f, good) two runs ago; has possibilities if suited by this new trip. |

Nine-race maiden; pulled up over C&D in February (soft; only run at this trip); fared better on good ground here last time when a creditable third over 2m4f; stamina to prove; each-way chance. |

1st Jul 2024 Standard 1m 4f 51y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Modest maiden over hurdles, best effort when staying-on fourth at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) in March on penultimate start; tailed off latest; started his career with three AW Flat runs early last year (first two for David Simcock) and did show some ability, but he does not look the percentage call. |
25/1 |

0-8; stayed on for fourth of 11 at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) last time and is still unexposed in handicaps, so he could have a say. |
