16th Apr 2025 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
Sent chasing on last three outings and runner-up in two of them, including off this mark behind Airtothethrone over C&D (good to soft) last time; had jumping issues at Exeter on penultimate outing but latest display means he's considered. |

Did pretty well to take second (no threat to winner) on chasing debut at Uttoxeter (2m, soft) in February, given he lacked fluency and the trip may have been too sharp, but again had some jumping issues when well-held fourth over 3m at Exeter (good; behind To Be Sure) last month; needs to get into a better rhythm here. |

16th Apr 2025 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 3lb |
11-race maiden with inconsistent overall form but his three completions at Ffos Las (3m in the mud on last two occasions) were among his best ratings; fell back here on latest outing; needs to find a bit extra to get off the mark but he's considered each-way. |

Inconsistent maiden but he returned to form when third over C&D (heavy) three weeks ago on his fourth chase start (Dream Of Diamonds half a length ahead in second); can be in the mix if backing up that performance. |

16th Apr 2025 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
12st 7lb |
With new yard for last two outings and contributed to their recent good form with a C&D win (good to soft) from Another Lord ten days ago, with his usual tongue-tie removed; has 7lb penalty and a 7lb claimer is recruited; probably as good as ever but a bit more may be needed from him. |

Rather inconsistent for Tim Vaughan since Taunton win in 2022 and made low-key stable debut last month, but has possibilities in this lower grade if that recent outing brought him on. |

Not one to rely upon heavily but his third at Lingfield (2m7f, soft) in December was a good effort and he didn't run badly when last in action; on good mark now; major player if in the right mood. |

0-7 over hurdles and the same over fences but he's been a consistent sort for Tom Gretton, including a big run from out of the handicap in the Sussex National at Plumpton (3m4f, soft) last time; tongue tied on last two outings; needs each-way respect on this debut for new yard. |

18-race maiden; well weighted judged on some hurdles and chase form last season but has not shown it more recently; sole run over about 3m was penultimate start, keeping on in fifth when falling three out at Wincanton. |

Largely disappointing over fences since last spring but was keeping on steadily and still had a chance before falling in home straight at Wincanton (3m1f, good to soft) in December; reverts to hurdling on a tempting mark and is worth a second look; cheekpieces (tried once in November) given another whirl. |

12st 0lb |
Launched his chasing career with two 3m wins in the mud at Exeter last March and scored again over that C&D on latest outing (same race as last year) but this time on good ground under claimer Chad Bament; the latter was by just a short head (after third-placed Shot Boii was reeled in close home) but he should remain competitive going back up 3lb. |

Launched chasing career with two C&D wins (one in this race) last March and was very respectable third over C&D (soft; form has worked out very well) on belated seasonal debut in January; below form at Chepstow since but still needs to be taken very seriously. |

Lightly raced but he's going the right way over fences and was a convincing winner of a four-runner race at Fontwell (3m2f, heavy; up 4lb) in February; has missed engagements when the ground was good, including one last month, but enters calculations if this surface is thought suitable. |

Switched to chasing and fitted with tongue-tie when scoring over 2m4f in the mud at Lingfield and Leicester; 2-5 for his hat-trick bid back at Leicester, which did not work out, but maybe the run came too soon and he now looks worth a go at 3m. |
