22nd Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 190y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
A lack of progress in novice/maidens (at about 2m) but was only 8-1 for handicap debut at Perth last May (2m4f) where he was pulled up after suffering interference; had a good while out but may yet do better. |

No progress when down the field in his three qualifying runs this year but it's still very early days for this well-bred 5yo and he could show a lot more now switched to a handicap at this new trip; needs a close look |

His defeat of Double Oban at Wetherby on Boxing Day now reads really well and he's since finished right on the scene in two visits here; remains on a good mark and has a lot less to prove than many of these; trip/ground ideal. |

Followed some good runs on the Flat with a third returned to hurdling in a handicap at Carlisle (2m1f, soft); could have run better at Wetherby but that was a Class 3 and this is a Class 5; considered. |

23rd Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Flat ability in Ireland as 3yo (RPR 80) and won a juvenile hurdle that year; 2024 was a washout but she readily came clear at Sedgefield (2m4f, good; cheekpieces added) on second run for yard and first since wind surgery; up 12lb in a better race but it might not be beyond her. |

Won a 2m1f juvenile event here (2m1f, soft) in December 2023 when with Nigel Hawke; mixed form since but quite a promising run when fourth at Newcastle (2m1f, good to soft) on stable debut in February; seems to stay 2m4f and interesting back after a wind op on a career-low mark with cheekpieces tried. |

Won a Kelso novice hurdle in first-time cheekpieces last May (2m1f, good to soft); disappointing all three starts since, the second over 2m6f on soft at Newcastle; new headgear needs to bring about improvement. |

Won a 2m handicap hurdle on good ground for Rebecca Menzies last summer but well beaten in two hurdle races for new yard in recent weeks; placed in 1m2f maidens on the Flat in Ireland earlier in his career but it's hard to be confident about him after those recent hurdle efforts. |

Only his second completion in a handicap when beaten 8l into fifth at Musselburgh (good to soft); that was three months ago and he'll need a bit more here you would think. |
