27th Oct 2021 Good To Firm 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Two wins from last three starts (made all in both); beat Gerard Mentor at Exeter this month and likely to make another bold bid from the front off just 2lb higher mark. |

7th Oct 2021 Good To Firm 2m 0f 161y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Made all to beat six rivals at Ludlow in May (2m, good to soft) but he dropped out very tamely next time at Worcester; only 2lb higher than for his win but on the balance of his exploits he needs taking on. |

6th May 2022 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Placed in three consecutive handicaps on good to firm ground last summer/autumn and made satisfacory reappearance when third (albeit beaten about 16l) at Taunton (2m, good) last month; more exposed than some of these but probably won't be far away. |
7/1 |

7th Apr 2022 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Placed in three handicaps last autumn, when giving the impression he was not straightforward; back from a break and repeat of those efforts give him every chance, though no guarantee he will take it. |
5/1 |

27th Oct 2021 Good To Firm 2m 0f 104y Class 5 |

Runner-up in both handicaps since cheekpieces were fitted, the latest behind Rathnure Ranger at Exeter this month; more than enough ability to win but hasn't appeared fully focused in a finish; should go close. |

26th Oct 2021 Good 2m 3f 100y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Seemingly aided by refitted cheekpieces on the Flat this year and continued the good work when keeping on strongly for close third over hurdles at Exeter (2m1f) this month; contender if suited by today's move back up in trip. |
8/1 |
3rd 1 |
7th Oct 2021 Good To Firm 2m 0f 161y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Maiden under both codes but he has run well on occasions this year on the Flat and he was twice runner-up over hurdles before struggling in a couple of handicaps (tongue-tie/blinkers); cheekpieces, which have helped on the Flat, could make a difference back jumping. |

8th Jan 2022 Soft 1m 7f 50y Class 5 |
10st 5lb

A model of consistency over the last 12 months, Flat and jumps, and he again ran creditably when third of ten at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft) nine days ago; holds no secrets from the handicapper but should be thereabouts. |
11/2 |
3rd 10 |
30th Dec 2021 Good To Soft 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |

Handicapper perhaps in charge with him 8lb higher than for his win here in October, but he has continued to run well and should be thereabouts once more; goes on all ground. |
6/1 |
2nd 12 |
3rd Dec 2021 Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |

Perhaps not the most straightforward of rides but he's running well at present and it was a Class 4 in which he was second at Exeter 12 days ago; thereabouts. |

10st 11lb |
Placed in two low-grade course handicaps (2m, good) earlier this year and was under 3l away at Exeter 11 days ago; looks handicapped about right; these aids worn before but not together. |
5/1 |

7th Oct 2021 Good To Firm 2m 0f 161y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
1m4f winner; placed in two low-grade Plumpton handicaps (2m, good) earlier this year and was running well behind the favourite in maiden company last time only to unseat at the last; bit worrying to see no tongue-tie (worn last four times) but does get cheekpieces; has a bold show in him. |

10st 11lb |
Finished second in two juvenile hurdles but was a distance away on his handicap debut at Bangor and then jumped moderately back in juvenile company at Perth (cheekpieces joined tongue-tie); not wildly appealing on the back of that effort. |

10st 12lb |
Placed on first three starts for Ben Pauling then beat a next-time-out winner to score over C&D (good) in August; didn't have race run to suit when seventh (not beaten far) at Exeter recently and remains very much of interest. |
4/1 |

7th Oct 2021 Good To Firm 2m 0f 161y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Got up late at Stratford (2m3f, good; 13-2) in August and, with the runner-up going one better next time, a 5lb rise looks fair; this shorter trip of no real concern around here and he's high on the list. |
7/2 |

22nd Sep 2021 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |

First win after 18 defeats when getting up late at Stratford (2m3f, good; 13-2) last month; the runner-up went one better next time and a 5lb rise looks fair; today's longer trip should be fine; high on the list. |

11st 4lb |
Placed five times over hurdles and ran near his best when runner-up in a Wincanton novice 13 days ago; on the premises again but likely to need something more if he's to gain a first success at the 19th attempt. |
8/1 |
2nd 2 |
14th Oct 2021 Good To Firm 1m 7f 50y Class 4 |

Has some fair hurdling form on his record but hasn't really fired on recent outings and is now 0-13 in this sphere. |

7th Oct 2021 Good To Firm 2m 0f 161y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
0-13 after finishing last of four when even-money for a selling hurdle and again brought up the rear on his switch to fences at Warwick (2m handicap); now 8lb lower than when going close at Warwick in July but he's starting to frustrate. |

14th Nov 2021 Good 2m 5f 135y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
In good hands and nicely bred, but he wasn't that competitive in any of his novice hurdles and he beat only one home on his switch to handicaps at Exeter (2m, good to firm); always a chance that fences and this longer trip will trigger improvement, but they clearly need to. |
4/1 |
9th 3 |
7th Oct 2021 Good To Firm 2m 0f 161y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
In good hands and nicely bred, but he didn't offer much in three novice hurdles as when third at Warwick (2m, good to soft) he was beaten more than 20l in a field of five; tongue-tie added for handicap debut and probably capable of a better effort sooner or later. |

7th Oct 2021 Good To Firm 2m 0f 161y Class 5 |

Has finished well beaten in his three handicaps and was a long way behind Gerard Mentor in the latest; makes very limited appeal with cheekpieces added. |
