10th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 2f 148y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Made a successful hurdles/stable debut at Newbury (2m, soft) in December (first two clear), but finished a tailed-off last of six finishers behind East India Dock in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham (2m1f, soft) the following month; back in calmer waters here and, being a 2m winner on the Flat, this longer trip should suit; major player. |

25th Jan 2025 Good 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Got better on the Flat, showing fair form to win a 2m handicap last summer, and he made an immediate impact over hurdles when outpointing an odds-on favourite at Newbury (2m, soft) five weeks ago on his debut for Alan King; his jumping was sound that day and he's open to improvement. |

14th Oct 2024 Good 1m 7f 217y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
Inconsistent and soundly beaten at Pontefract last time, but he's on a handy mark judged on his 2m wins at Catterick (good) and Chester (good to soft) in May, and there have been some bright moments since; not ruled out. |

16th Jul 2024 Soft 2m 0f 32y Class 3 |
10st 2lb |
Front-runner (other pace in here) who was well held at a short price in this race in 2023; was beaten some way over hurdles, when back from a break following wind surgery, for new yard in June and needs to do much better. |
5/1 |

13th Jun 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Not seen over hurdles since pulled up at 2023 Cheltenham Festival but showed some useful form on the Flat last summer; makes stable debut after nine-month break; had wind op in April; market may guide. |

12th Oct 2024 Soft 2m 0f 56y Class 3 |
8st 7lb |
Won a soft-ground maiden but best efforts when it's not so deep; 0-10 this season, nearly winning at Musselburgh in August but beaten over 20l on last two outings; down the weights but it's hard to have confidence in her. |
20/1 |

7th Oct 2024 Soft 2m 2f 2y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Has won on soft, best form on faster ground; 0-9 this season but nearly won at Musselburgh in August; stiff task last time; three-time Pontefract scorer and looks interesting off a workable mark back here. |

9st 12lb |
Sole win in 31 starts came over hurdles, but unexposed on the AW and has twice finished runner-up at Newcastle (2m, Tapeta) during the autumn; one for the shortlist provided the shorter trip doesn't find him out. |
