22nd Mar 2022 Good To Soft 2m 2f 140y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Four-time Flat winner (at a modest level) last year for Tristan Davidson but has a much better strike-rate in that sphere than over jumps; bit to prove off top weight on first run since rejoining this stable. |

7th Oct 2021 Soft 1m 5f 26y Class 6 |

Really likeable sort who bagged his fourth win for current yard in typically gutsy style at Hamilton 18 days ago, making all; he takes a 5lb rise now but still can't be discounted. |

Showed ability in France and was returning from a year off when well beaten at 50-1 on last month's stable debut at Ffos Las (1m4f, good); may have needed that run but is probably best watched for now.

Just 1-15 over hurdles but is versatile regarding ground and gave a good account when placed off today's mark at Sedgefield (2m1f, soft) last month; could have a say. |

2nd 8 (9) |
18th Oct 2023 Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Won over hurdles at Exeter (2m2f, dead-heat) in March and he has plenty of form on the Flat including over 1m6f here last spring; hard to rule out a good run back from a break but he's 1-24 under both codes and others are more persuasive. |

Well handicapped on this year's form up to June, including a solid second here, but following a short break he's failed to shine on his three starts since August 6; needs to up his game.

Unraced beyond 1m2f and comes with risks attached having lost considerable ground at the start on her last three outings; however, in the circumstances she's done well to be beaten just 3l in seventh the last twice (1m2f), keeping on well each time, and she may have potential now up in trip.

10st 0lb |
Arrives on the back of soft/heavy-ground wins at Haydock (10.5f), Hamilton (1m4f) and Redcar (1m2f; readily), the latest being her best effort for a long time; penalised; steps up to this trip for the first time but the way she won at Hamilton suggests she should see it out; big player. |

30th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 1m 4f 15y Class 6 |

Off the mark for the season when coming late to win apprentice handicap at Haydock on Friday (1m2f, heavy); 1lb lower here; yet to win in three attempts at 1m4f but interesting all the same. |

Modest 1-25 strike-rate and 5lb out of the handicap today; however, she's been in fair form of late and 1m1f here looked inadequate last time out; this trip is worth another go and she's not ruled out each-way.

12th Nov 2021 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
8st 8lb |
Landed a 0-50 classified event over 1m here in February, but recent efforts leave plenty to be desired and she pulled too hard when comfortably held behind Tommy R and Batocchi over C&D last time; now 1-29 and the first-time hood will need to make a difference. |
20/1 |

5th 9 (8) |
26th Oct 2021 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |
8st 10lb |
Landed a 0-50 classified event here (1m) in February and ran with credit a few times on turf in August/September; however, only ninth of 13 over C&D seven days ago (Star Dreamer third) and a record of 1-28 doesn't inspire confidence. |
16/1 |

9th 11 (10) |
19th Oct 2021 Standard 1m 4f 98y Class 6 |

Finished an encouraging third this summer on his first two starts for this yard (including over C&D on good) but disappointing at Catterick last time and this 9yo, who has won just once from 27 attempts (both codes), is 3lb out of the handicap today.

6th Oct 2021 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Firm-ground Flat winner (1m3f) who was 0-7 over hurdles in Ireland several seasons ago; was placed in a couple of 1m4f Flat races in the summer but returns to this sphere having gone off the boil in the other code. |

Two-time course winner who scored at Beverley (1m4f, good) in June and was a good third at Catterick (1m4f, good to soft) in July; on a handy mark but needs to bounce back from two lesser performances (C&D latest).

14th Dec 2023 Heavy 2m 0f 190y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Has a patchy profile and he was pulled up on last month's reappearance at Sedgefield, but he may have needed the run and his stable is currently in flying form; he's 1lb below his last winning mark and could go well. |

9th Nov 2023 Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |

Has dropped to a mark 1lb lower than when winning at Catterick (1m7f, soft) in January, and he's effective over C&D; watch the betting but there's a suspicion he'll need this first outing since April. |

Promising second on handicap and seasonal debut at Catterick (1m4f, soft) in May and returned to form when third in a first-time tongue-tie there (1m4f, good) 12 days ago; kept on well last time and could have more to offer in the retained tongue-tie now at a stiffer track.

Won at Newcastle (12.4f, AW) in April and fair fourth to Card High at Carlisle (1m3f, good to soft) last time out in May; further improvement is possible from this lightly raced 4yo and he's not ruled out, although the Newcastle Tapeta has appeared to suit him better than turf thus far.

Headed close home (Castel Gandolfo third) in this race last year; doesn't arrive in anywhere near the same kind of form this time around after finishing tailed off (beaten 50l) over 2m4f here last month; easing mark isn't enough to make a viable threat. |

11yo who is a dual C&D winner, albeit in 2015 and 2016; next won this time last year and also scored at Carlisle this May (3lb higher today); faded badly at Hamilton ten days ago but may well have needed that run after 115-day absence; needs a second look. |
