Ex-Irish gelding; not at his best on either start for this yard, beating only two home in 11-runner handicap at Chelmsford ten days ago; cannot be ruled out but certainly carries risks.

27th Feb 2024 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |

Won at Kempton (1m4f) in November; largely consistent since, creditable third over C&D most recently; solid claims off unaltered mark. |

3rd 5 |
15th Feb 2024 Standard 1m 3f 23y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
1m4f Tapeta winner; 5lb higher than when last winning at Kempton (1m4f, Polytrack) last November; has been competitive in most starts since, including when second over C&D on his penultimate start; player. |

5 yo Gelding
OR: 60
Regularly placed in handicaps this year but on a long losing run and his form has dipped on his last three starts; a visor failed to help last time but this does at least represent a drop in grade; not discounted.

7th Sep 2022 Good 0m 7f 173y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Without a win since 2018 and his recent form is not overly encouraging either, only seventh in 1m1f Hamilton handicap one week ago; visor replaces blinkers; others appeal more. |

17th Aug 2022 Good To Firm 1m 4f 104y Class 6 |
9st 10lb |
Seems to be running into form and didn't get the breaks when behind a couple of today's rivals here recently; however, a strike-rate of 2-41 tempers enthusiasm and he faded at Hamilton yesterday. |

Won on debut last year but hasn't progressed and his record in handicaps reads 0-9; hasn't gone with much fluency on last few outings, including with headgear fitted, but he's still the pick of this bunch on ratings.

9st 0lb |
Below-par favourite in similar event at Hamilton (1m1f, soft) last month and is now 0-11 since debut win (1m); however, has major claims if proving suited by this new trip and change of headgear. |

OR: 67
Headstrong sort; debut winner of Windsor maiden (1m2f, good) last year but mostly disappointing since, leaving George Boughey for just 2,500gns before finishing down the field in handicaps on her last two starts; drops in grade.

18th Oct 2021 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Made a winning debut for George Boughey last summer (1m2f, good); tumbling down the weights this year but with some justification; others much more appealing. |
25/1 |
|
7th 6 (13) |
13th Oct 2021 Good To Firm 1m 0f 0y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
Her debut win at Windsor (1m2f, good) last year, when with George Boughey, remains her only one; has gone backwards this season and, despite being well treated on her best efforts, she is hard to fancy on recent form. |
33/1 |

8th 1 (10) |
26th Sep 2021 Good To Soft 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
10st 0lb |
Mostly disappointing since a winning debut last summer for George Boughey, whom she left for only 2,500gns; three defeats for this yard, the latest in a seller. |

13th Jan 2022 Standard To Slow 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
8st 11lb |
Switched to Flat in September, showing modest form on soft ground in 1m4f seller and 2m handicap on last two outings; wore cheekpieces in both and they are joined by tongue-tie for this AW debut, following a poor show over hurdles (tongue tied, visored) on Boxing Day. |

26th Dec 2021 Soft 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |

Fared better in a weak 2m Flat handicap in October but looked far from a natural over hurdles in previous efforts; several are above him on the list. |

17th Dec 2021 Standard To Slow 2m 0f 102y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
0-11 under both codes but lightly raced on the Flat and was a fair fourth when upped in trip on his Flat handicap debut at Catterick (2m) in October; could have more to offer and is not discounted; headgear changed. |

19th Feb 2022 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
18-race maiden who has refused to race here in the past; has form claims on such as his close second here last month (blew the start) but he wasn't so good at Southwell eight days ago; capable but too risky to support. |
8/1 |

7th 12 (2) |
11th Feb 2022 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
0-17 so far; unquestionably has the ability to win a race of this nature and he went desperately close at Newcastle three weeks ago; the worry is that he refused to race on his penultimate start and was very slowly away last time too; big player if he gets it right at the start. |
11/2 |
|
2nd 11 (10) |
21st Jan 2022 Standard To Slow 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Regressive maiden who has a decent C&D run to his name but is 0-16 and confirmed he's not one to trust implicitly when refusing to race last time; risky proposition. |

2nd Nov 2021 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Signs of ability at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) on debut in July, but left David Loughnane for just 3,500gns the following month; open to improvement but others still appeal more.

Debut effort (extended 1m1f; for David Loughnane) wasn't without hope but he has been well beaten in a seller and a C&D novice for new trainer; opening mark looks tough. |

6th 6 (7) |
8th Oct 2021 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 5 |
9st 4lb |
Whiff of ability on sole start for David Loughnane (extended 1m1f); tailed off over 1m1f on soft ground on stable debut 19 days ago; too much to prove dropped in trip and fitted with cheekpieces. |
