9th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 161y Class 1 |
11st 5lb |
Made it two wins in a row when scoring on handicap debut at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) in October and improved form in defeat the next twice, most recently third in 4yo Grade 3 at Fairyhouse (2m, yielding) in November; others may have greater potential but he might not be far away. |

Drew nicely clear to make winning handicap debut at Chepstow (2m, good to soft) last month; took a giant leap forward when splitting Givemefive and Bottler'secret at Cheltenham; had the fitness edge that day but is worth his place in the field. |

4th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 167y Class 3 |

Useful juvenile hurdler but it's been mostly hard work since, including when beaten a long way in cheekpieces the last twice; meets some in-form rivals today and this looks a tough race to stage revival; drops back in trip. |

His only hurdles win was over 2m in heavy ground at Chepstow in October 2023 when with Milton Harris; showed he stays this sort of trip when a creditable third at Wetherby in March (2m3f, soft) but was disappointing with cheekpieces (retained today) at Ayr last time. |

17th Jun 2025 Good 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Fairly useful hurdler; 1-3 on the Flat in France early in 2023 and returned to this sphere with a front-running win in six-runner handicap at Newmarket (1m6f, good to firm) one month ago, going clear about 4f out and staying clear; up 7lb and into a much stronger race but he could have plenty more to offer. |

Dual winning hurdler but an improving Flat performer having gone 3-3 since joining Hugo Palmer and it was all very straightforward in a trial for this at Lingfield; could easily deal with the 8lb rise and has winning form here. |

25th Mar 2025 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Made the running for both hurdle wins (2m, soft) last winter; has found life harder in handicaps but better treated now and he was anything but a pushover for one on a three-timer at Lingfield (2m, soft) last month; trip query back at 2m3f with cheekpieces fitted but still respected. |

Patchy since returning from a third round of wind surgery; a 2lb drop in the weights won't hurt, likewise any rain, but he's never been this far and will need a career-best effort. |

5yo who has got better with each of his three runs for this yard, going close at Warwick (2m, soft) most recently; also effective on good ground and he shaped last time as though today's step up in trip could be a plus. |

Failed to go on for the Skeltons; his second run for this yard when third at Sandown (2m, soft; first-time hood) was a return to form, though he was held up off a fast pace set by the winner and might be flattered. |
