9th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Made it 14th-time lucky under rules with a powerful front-running display at Wincanton (2m4f, heavy) in January, winning by 12l; rider's 10lb claim useful in view of his 11lb higher mark, but whether things will work out so favourably this time remains to be seen. |

0-13 but encouraging signs in new headgear (retained) at Exeter (2m5f, soft) on New Year's Day when 16l second of 11 behind a handicap blot; has the same mark as last time and could be a contender. |

26th Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 154y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won when back over hurdles at Leicester (2m4f, heavy) last month; beaten 12l into second of 15 when unpenalised at Wincanton (2m4f, heavy) nine days later and a 6lb rise has now kicked in, but it was still a creditable effort last time and she can give another good account. |

Placed twice since her wide-margin romp at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft) in November and new jockey Ned Fox claims a useful 3lb here; lightly to be right in the thick of things again. |

30th Jan 2025 Heavy 2m 3f 179y Class 5 |

Off the mark in fine style at Ludlow (2m5f, good to soft) in November and bounced back from a disappointing run at Uttoxeter with clear second of 15 at Exeter (2m5f, soft) last time; at another right-handed track today and can jump to the left, but could play another leading role. |

Runner-up off this mark at Exeter (2m2f, soft) in December and a case can be made on that form; not ruled out but this inconsistent 7yo has been well beaten the last twice and has won just one of his 18 starts. |

Inconsistent and has won just one of his 17 starts; disappointing at Exeter last time but prior to that he kept on for a good second there (2m2f, soft) and perhaps the first-time cheekpieces will give him a boost. |

Runner-up in maiden hurdle here (1m7f, good to soft) in April 2023 and won AW handicap 13 days later; however, following a long absence he's been pulled up in two handicap hurdles this season and has plenty to prove. |

Modest dual 1m4f Flat winner; showed something over hurdles in spring 2023 over the minimum trip but little when returned to this sphere for 2m handicap in November; trying an extra mile today is not greatly persuasive. |

Won over hurdles for Henry Daly here (2m5f, soft) last April and could appreciate the return to this sphere on today's stable debut (bought for £4,000); however, he was pulled up over fences in the autumn on his last two runs and there's a question mark regarding his current form. |

Ended last season with a hurdle win at Wincanton (2m5f, soft; first-time cheekpieces) in April; pulled up on chase debut at Worcester (2m7f, soft) last month but that was without headgear and he may have needed the run; should have a future in this sphere and he needs watching in market with cheekpieces reapplied. |

Fair third on stable debut at Ludlow in November but soundly beaten in seventh the next twice and she refused to race at Taunton most recently; now 0-15 under rules and it's probably best to look elsewhere. |
