12st 0lb

J: James Turner

T: Alan Jones

The consistency of his summer 2024 campaign has long deserted him, the return to the mark of October's Exeter win (2m2f, good to firm) owed to three poor runs since; others convince more.

Won in a small field at Exeter (2m2f, good to firm) in October but holding his form is becoming troublesome; risky enough.

Form & Verdict
Won twice last season for Anthony Charlton on good to soft and a quicker surface is fine; both runs for this yard were respectable without looking ahead of his mark but a case can be made.

Two creditable efforts since returning from a short break, latest when a close fourth over 2m1f here last month off this mark; stays this far and enters calculations.

Beaten under 10l when seventh in recent C&D (good) contest won by Cogital and continues to slip down the weights, but has not been firing on all cylinders in recent months and needs to up his game.

Off the mark at the 25th attempt with a comfortable C&D success ten days ago; a 3lb rise looks fair and a repeat would make him a major player, though his overall profile remains patchy.

Third in a handicap hurdle here in May 2025; however, well beaten in two other handicaps on either side of a brief but successful stint in points; it's hard to make a compelling case but Sean Bowen has been booked.

Badly out of form since the autumn but has a first-time tongue-tie fitted here and is now now 10lb lower than when winning at Uttoxeter (2m, good) last summer; well worth a glance in the betting.

Drying conditions will be in his favour but this 7yo has been struggling for a while now on all sorts of surfaces; potentially on a good mark even from out of the handicap but he's a risky proposition at the minute.
