Won two in a row over hurdles this spring (2m1f, good) before landing the hat-trick on the Flat at Carlisle a fortnight; he's climbing the weights but did it easily at Sedgefield on his latest hurdle start and could still be ahead of the handicapper; appealing claims. |

19th Apr 2022 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Prominent racer; built upon Wolverhampton AW win when scoring unchallenged in a 2m maiden hurdle at Wetherby (soft); now 7lb higher than for last handicap appearance, but does have previous Sedgefield experience to fall back upon, and Brian Hughes aboard. |

He could do with settling better in this code but ran well in defeat at the end of last year on his first three hurdle starts (1m7f-2m1f, good-soft); off the mark at the 19th attempt when scoring at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) earlier this month; strong claims. |

19th Apr 2022 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |

Broke his hurdles duck (11th attempt) over C&D in January before turning in another solid effort in defeat at Newcastle (2m, good to soft); now 8lb higher than for that C&D win which undoubtedly serves to make him more vulnerable. |
|
2nd 7 |
8th Mar 2022 Good To Soft 2m 0f 46y Class 4 |

Came good over hurdles at 11th attempt, at Sedgefield (2m1f, good; front pair clear) in January; subsequent 4lb rise doesn't look excessive and Brian Hughes is booked again today; likely contender. |

11st 0lb |
Made it 0-7 over fences when a 15l third last time but he wasn't far away in a Sedgefield handicap hurdle the time before (2m1f, good) and this is a similar sort of race to that. |

3rd May 2022 Good 2m 1f 0y Class 5 |
12st 1lb |
Failed to win over fences (0-6), ending 2021 on a downbeat note at Market Rasen (pulled up); ran a rock-solid race, only weakening from the final flight, on return to hurdles here (2m1f; fourth of eight, 12-1) a fortnight ago; interesting to see if he can build upon that back over fences. |
2/1 |

19th Apr 2022 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Fairly consistent over fences until producing a laboured performance at Market Rasen (2m3f, good; pulled up) last October; off since, and difficult to know what to expect, although could potentially be lurking on a fair mark given past novice hurdle form; market a helpful guide. |

Flat and juvenile hurdle winner (Catterick) for previous trainer Alan King; found the competition way too strong in the Scottish Triumph Hurdle at Musselburgh on final start for that trainer; sports headgear off a 72-day break on first start for Danny Brooke. |

No win since early 2019 (Catterick) and has undergone a couple of recent bouts of wind surgery; off since pulling up in a chase at Fakenham (2m, 7-4 favourite) last November; cut slack by the handicapper - down a combined 15lb for last three hurdle starts - but tough to fancy. |

16th Nov 2021 Good 2m 0f 59y Class 5 |

Completed a hurdles hat-trick three seasons back; shaped encouragingly returned to chasing at Bangor three months ago and that effort can be marked up (lost momentum with final-fence error); had a second wind surgery since; interesting off a very handy mark. |

Determined C&D winner (soft; 6lb lower mark, but now claimer ridden) on penultimate start, and can be forgiven his subsequent effort at Wetherby (finished lame); still low mileage over hurdles (1-6), although will need to take another step forward in this better race. |

Jumping held him back on his first few goes over hurdles but he was forcefully ridden and hurdled more fluently when winning at Sedgefield (2m1f, soft) two weeks ago; may not have reached his ceiling yet and he's a serious contender again off 6lb higher. |

Won Irish point in 2018 but was well beaten in three maiden hurdles during 2019-20 season; makes stable/handicap debut after 667-day absence; tongue-tie refitted; considered only if lively in the betting. |
