20th Mar 2025 Good 2m 7f 131y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Runner-up in December in his only point and he's made quite a promising start to rules career with places over about 2m3f in maiden hurdles at Taunton and Chepstow; this step up in trip can help on handicap debut. |

22nd Feb 2025 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Runner-up on point debut in December and made quite promising start to rules career at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft) last month, keeping on steadily to take remote second; it's tricky to gauge what that form is worth but he's open to improvement. |

Kept on for second in Larkhill maiden point (2m4f, good) last month and evidently has some ability but faces a tougher assignment on this rules debut; market may guide. |

Another C&D winner (November) but could have run a lot better on last two outings, latterly only five days ago when tried in a visor; the blinkers return but this is a quick turnaround. |
14/1 |

17th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 5f 137y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Much better could have been expected at Hereford (3m1f, good to soft) in December last time but he won here (2m7f, good to soft) in November and it will be no surprise if he bounces back with a good run now back here in a first-time visor (replacing blinkers). |

23rd Sep 2025 Good 3m 2f 0y Class 4 |

Returned from layoff with 3m2f win at Fontwell (good) last autumn and was also in good form when last seen in the spring; swaps cheekpieces for first-time blinkers on this reappearance outing; major player if fully tuned up after latest break. |

16th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 0y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Won a maiden hurdle on stable debut at Warwick (2m5f, good) in October and bounced back from a flop over fences when third of five in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (3m1f, soft) in January, when jumping to the right; the return to a right-handed track is a likely plus and she's high on the list. |

26th Jan 2026 Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Showed zero enthusiasm for fences in two attempts, pulling up at Uttoxeter last month, but she might well recover quickly now back hurdling, as in a similar situation in the past; stays 3m2f on soft and has a good run in her off current mark; cheekpieces refitted. |

2nd Jun 2025 Good 2m 5f 89y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
0-9 over fences but twice runner-up; has another go in this discipline on the back of a comfortable win over hurdles here (2m4f, good) in a race he also won 12 months earlier; now rated 10lb lower as a chaser so has obvious claims. |

9lb lower when an easy winner of this 12 months ago but he can deal with this mark and latest close third at Ffos Las (good to soft) was commendable given he likes good ground; could very easily win this again. |

Multiple hurdle winner at up to 2m5f on a sound surface; 1-2 over fences; won a three-runner chase at Wincanton (1m7f, good) when last seen in March; encouraging record after a break; up 3lb and is unexposed as a chaser over this trip; player. |

5-19 over hurdles, with all wins gained on good/good to firm; well beaten on last month's chasing debut at Chepstow (2m3f, soft) but will be much better suited by today's quicker conditions and may yet have a future over fences. |

Still a maiden but looks set to make a better chaser after finishing a close second over C&D three weeks ago (good); stayed on well that day from off the pace and might well go one better. |

11st 10lb |
Emerged in a well-beaten third of 12 when 50-1 for debut at Leicester (2m4f) in November, which is his best form after he pulled up at Uttoxeter (3m) and went down by 23l at Hereford (3m2f); those three maidens were on good to soft; needs marked improvement on this handicap debut in first headgear. |

50-1 for debut at Leicester (2m4f, good to soft) six weeks ago, where he struggled to get seriously competitive but eventually battled on to take a modest third; needs to take a big step forward here but the move up in trip looks the right move. |

Won twice over hurdles in 2023 (July and October); missed 2024 and ran over fences on both starts for new yard this year, not disgraced on first occasion but tailed off on heavy latest; has a good mark if he's straight back to his peak returned to hurdles. |

Signs of retaining ability, while seeming to need the run, at Ludlow (3m) this month on stable/seasonal debut and second chase attempt; may step up on that effort; nicely handicapped on best hurdles form. |

Pulled up in June 2023 on sole chase start and absent since that November; however, he's on a handy mark on his best hurdle form for Peter Bowen and he's one to watch in the betting on his stable debut. |

Given wind surgery before pulled up this winter in his only two handicaps (bled from the nose on chase debut first occasion) so caution has to be advised. |

Pulled up on chase/handicap debut in December (bled from the nose) and now quickly reverts to hurdling; needs to better his jumping form but remains very unexposed, and it's worth remembering he won a bumper in 2022. |
