29th Nov 2024 Soft 3m 0f 52y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
Ready winner over 2m7f at Market Rasen in August and he ran at least as well in defeat at Cheltenham in October but he has his share of weight now and soft ground has not been helpful so far. |

10st 9lb |
On the go since May (all on good ground) and competitive in his last six outings, including a win at Market Rasen; good C&D fourth last time (Gowel Road second) and he's 2lb lower today but probably too exposed to win it. |

18th Sep 2024 Good 2m 4f 189y Class 2 |
11st 4lb |
Won a Market Rasen handicap off 3lb higher in January (2m4f, good to soft); fair second on same track last month (2m7f, good); each-way chance. |
15/2 |

6th Sep 2024 Good 2m 4f 72y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Posted sound effort when keeping-on second over hurdles at Market Rasen (2m7f, good) last month and should be fine back over fences but has very mixed record this year that includes three defeats in plating company; younger rivals have more convincing profiles. |
8/1 |

2nd 4 |
17th Aug 2024 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |

Made all to win by 8l over 2m4f here earlier in the year but beaten at plating level in three of his subsequent races and was 66-1 when well held back in a handicap here four weeks ago; opposable. |

16th Sep 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Quirky customer who doesn't tend to find much when it matters and is placed far more often than he wins; ran well when third at Market Rasen (2m7f, good) last month and remains on a workable mark, but is very frustrating. |

Formerly useful for Paul Nicholls; only win for this yard came in a three-runner handicap hurdle at Carlisle (3m1f, good to soft) and there hasn't been much to shout about since then; blinkers belatedly return. |

Formerly useful for Paul Nicholls; sole win for this yard came in a three-runner handicap hurdle at Carlisle (3m1f, good to soft) and there hasn't been much to shout about since then (back chasing last time); visor replaces cheekpieces. |

14th Jul 2024 Good 2m 7f 180y Class 3 |

Useful staying hurdler for Paul Nicholls but his two chasing attempts for him in 2021 did not go well; safely held on both outings this season (3m/2m4f) and comes with significant risk on return to fences. |

Scored off 3lb higher at Hexham (2m4f, good) in June but has been in poor form since, often looking unenthusiastic; needs to turn a corner. |

12st 0lb |
His first win since 2021 when staying on to collect by 5l at Stratford (2m6f, good) a month ago, for which he's back up 5lb; that might not prevent him from doubling up if he can replicate the form. |

Four-time course winner who finished second in this race 12 months ago; however, far from solid on 2024 form and finished tailed off in lower grade here last time (August). |

Not in much form over fences before finishing tailed off on the Flat in May, but steadied the ship when running respectably from the front back hurdling at Perth (2m4f, good; beaten 7l); stays this far and if as good again he should make presence felt. |

C&D winner who was tongue tied when coming in last of eight on the Flat at Salisbury last month; lots more is required back in this sphere. |
