11th May 2022 Good 2m 2f 110y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Tricky to catch right and has been placed in seven of nine starts since his last success, in September 2020; has to be delivered late and last month's Exeter race didn't see him in the best light; should at least have a pace to aim at but not one for maximum confidence. |

5th Apr 2022 Good To Firm 2m 0f 161y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Knocking at the door, having finished runner-up in four of his five starts this term; off since October, presumably to wait for spring ground (raced mainly on good/faster); respected off last winning mark. |

14th Oct 2021 Good To Firm 1m 7f 50y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Close second to Thahab Ifraj off 5lb higher in this race last year (good to firm) and returns here after good effort in defeat at Exeter (2m2f, good to firm) a week ago; due a 1lb nudge back up the weights for the recent effort; major player. |

11th May 2022 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Four-time hurdle winner, the last twice in early part of last season; probably doesn't have much margin for error off current mark but returned from break with very encouraging fourth at Kempton (2m, good) last month. |
11/2 |
4th 4 |
13th Apr 2022 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Made all for comfortable win at Wincanton (1m7f, good) in October but managed only fourth off same mark a few days later and is now 5lb higher; will need to be in peak form to have any chance on this first start for five months. |

5th Nov 2021 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Won at Cartmel (2m1f, good) in August and easily made all in conditionals' handicap at Wincanton (1m7f, good) 12 days ago; has also won on good to soft; escapes a penalty for that latest win so has obvious claims today. |

18th Dec 2021 Standard 1m 5f 219y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Fairly useful at up to 2m on the Flat in 2019; similar standard over hurdles but hasn't had to be at his best when winning Taunton seller (left Paul Nicholls after) and second in Lingfield claimer on his last two starts; others preferred back on the Flat. |

2nd 1 |
25th Nov 2021 Good To Soft 2m 3f 110y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Not at his best when landing the odds in 2m3f Taunton seller a fortnight ago on his final run for Paul Nicholls; he rates much the form pick here though on his yard debut so is hard to oppose. |

11th Nov 2021 Good To Firm 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Three wins over hurdles but hasn't exactly been setting the world alight, over a variety of trips, since beating two rivals at Newton Abbot in June; should still be hard to beat now dropped to a seller. |

Won his bumper on fast ground and has made an unbeaten start over hurdles on good, making all at Stratford then Fontwell when readily accounting for a previous winner; appeals as one with plenty more to offer now handicapping. |

27th Oct 2021 Good To Firm 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Runner-up at Wincanton on Sunday (in first-time blinkers, retained) but no match for the winner there and career record is now 2-47; longer trip could help but he may prove vulnerable for win purposes again |
11/2 |
2nd 8 |
24th Oct 2021 Good 1m 7f 50y Class 4 |
10st 8lb |
Claims on his fourth (not far behind Iron Mike) in a maiden here last season but hasn't progressed and was well behind First Quest at Exeter last time; poor strike-rate of 2-46; blinkers replace cheekpieces. |
14/1 |

7th Oct 2021 Good To Firm 2m 2f 111y Class 4 |

Recent form under both codes isn't overly inspiring and neither is an overall strike-rate of 2-45; opposable. |

3rd Mar 2022 Soft 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
0-13 over hurdles; travelled well for a long way when third of 18 at Wetherby (3m, good to soft; first-time visor) two runs ago and today's drop back in trip could be a good move, but others have more pressing claims. |

6th 9 |
14th Feb 2022 Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Bumper winner who is 0-12 over hurdles and after travelling well enough in this first-time headgear combination at Wetherby (3m, good to soft) he didn't find masses for pressure; will have to dig deep if he's to win this. |
8/1 |
3rd 2 |
27th Jan 2022 Good To Soft 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
0-11 over hurdles and single-figure odds for eight of those so he's been expensive to follow; however, he hasn't been running badly of late and has dropped down the weights for his Devon trainer, who does well here; not ruled out with a first-time visor replacing blinkers. |

14th Dec 2021 Good To Soft 2m 3f 66y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Claimed out of Katy Price's stable for £6,000 after finishing second in Taunton seller last month; returns to a handicap on a good mark and Tristan Davidson tends to do well with new recruits; interesting. |
5/1 |
2nd 3 |
11th Nov 2021 Good To Firm 2m 3f 1y Class 5 |
11st 6lb |
Very disappointing in two starts at Exeter (his favoured track) this autumn but better when third to Secret Secret in a Stratford seller two weeks ago; should be little between the pair on these terms but more required; best when making the running. |

11st 12lb |
Dual Flat winner over middle distances; added a 2m1f Newton Abbot novice hurdle to his haul in May (on good ground) and has probably performed to a similar sort of level subsequently; cheekpieces made no obvious difference last time and they're left off; mark looks fair without being super lenient. |
5/1 |
