Improved to readily make a winning handicap debut at Yarmouth (11.4f, good; first run since gelded) last month; not in quite the same form when only fifth on AW at Newcastle (1m2f) the following week but retains potential back on turf for a yard which continues in form.

Regressed last year and doesn't always convince in his attitude these days; finished well beaten back from eight months off recently and is now tried in a first-time tongue-tie. |

5th Dec 2023 Standard 1m 7f 169y Class 5 |
10st 1lb |
Creditable fourth in quite valuable series final at Nottingham (1m6f, soft) in September but disappointing on his next Flat start and reverts to this sphere after heavy defeat on last month's handicap hurdle debut; too inconsistent to trust. |

4yo who has run just three times, with big gaps in between; showed ability for Richard Fahey and won on stable debut in Ripon maiden (1m, good) 24 days ago; dam's side of pedigree indicates he has potential now up in trip on handicap debut; unexposed and could play a leading role.

22nd Jul 2022 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Tried over as far as 1m6f last year; combination of drop in trip, aggressive tactics and blinkers has seen him bounce back lately (latest instance on Wednesday) but 7f, even round a stiff course, looks a bare minimum. |

On a handy mark on 2019 form for William Haggas but he was beaten a fair way when placed on first two outings for this yard and was well held at Hamilton last time; losing run is now up to 13 and others make more appeal.

Very consistent this season, winning over C&D (good to firm) in July; placed in small fields at Beverley and York since; should give his running but vulnerable to less-exposed types from this career-high mark.

17th Oct 2022 Good To Soft 1m 2f 5y Class 4 |
9st 3lb |
3-10 around here and has dropped 1lb lower than when successful over C&D (good to firm) in July last year; didn't make his seasonal reappearance until July and his last two performances over an inadequate 1m have been eyecatching, so it's not hard to think he has an even bigger effort in him back over this trip; acts on any ground. |

Useful Flat-racer with five wins on his CV (1m2f-1m4f); not disgraced in three AW outings for this yard in the spring but he's been absent since finishing well held on his Ayr hurdle debut in May.

Frequent slow starter but it didn't stop him winning four times over 1m4f at Newcastle in the first half of the year; not at best when last seen in midsummer but the handicapper has cut him a bit of slack; has been gelded.

2nd Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Capable of fairly useful winning form on the level but his form doesn't read nearly so well in this sphere and he came in well held over C&D in September; others are preferred. |

17th Nov 2022 Good To Soft 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Enjoyed a purple spell with four AW Flat wins in early-2021 but has largely struggled since; the fact his best hurdle run came over C&D offers some hope but was well beaten in handicap hurdles in August/September; also well held on AW Flat six weeks ago; first-time cheekpieces replace usual tongue-tie. |

In good form over 1m on soft/heavy ground in the spring, winning at Nottingham and running well when second at Haydock; comfortably held twice since but still relatively low mileage and no surprise to see him return to his best this autumn; however, perhaps best watched this time unless the ground eases considerably.

Scored off 95 in a Limerick handicap hurdle in May and two good efforts in novice hurdles subsequently; ran okay dropped back to 2m at Galway last time; better over this sort of trip and should go well. |

The winner of two handicap hurdles and probably ran up to his best despite failing favourite backers in a Worcester novice 17 days ago (2m, good; first-time blinkers); however, beat one home behind Toll Stone on the Flat here on Friday. |
