21st Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 0f 8y Class 4 |
12st 4lb |
Bang-in-form 8yo who completed hat-trick with comfortable success at Ludlow (2m, good to soft) on Wednesday; carries 7lb penalty in a more competitive race here but is also very well suited by this C&D; major player. |

Exposed but knows how to win and had a bit in hand last time at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft), beating one who has run well since; has to rate a key player off 4lb higher, though does enjoy coming off a strong pace and that scenario is not guaranteed. |

Mostly disappointing for Nicky Henderson but she was having only her second run for this yard when making a winning chase debut here last month before finishing second at Hereford (also 2m, good) 15 days ago; switches back to hurdles off 3lb lower; should run well. |

Mostly disappointing in these colours for Nicky Henderson but only her second run for this yard when making a winning start over fences at Fakenham (2m, good), where 2l to the good and going away at the line; was due a 4lb drop so only 3lb higher here even with the penalty, and that's without taking into account Alex Chadwick's claim (replacing Sam Twiston-Davies). |

His only win in 21 starts was in a 2m Hereford handicap chase in November 2023; five seconds, though, and chasing home Abaya Du Mathan at Southwell one month ago confirms that he is a serious contender. |

Offered little over hurdles but he's a well-bred 5yo with low mileage and, although well beaten on his switch to fences at Ffos Las (2m, good to soft), he was well backed; shaped as though the run would bring him on. |
