1st Jun 2024 Heavy 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Dual heavy-ground C&D winner who arrives on the back of a Perth success (2m, soft) last time out; up 5lb but a claimer is recruited and, given he's yet to run a bad race here, he's a big player. |

25th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |

Went up 12lb for two wins at Hexham in November (2m heavy); some fair efforts since, but well beaten at Musselburgh last time; back on a fair mark now; a possible. |

5th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 1f 87y Class 2 |

Won twice on heavy ground at Hexham in November (2m) and may need that sort of stamina test these days; got outpaced at Ayr last time when behind Mack The Man. |

A fair winning hurdler who was also successful on the Flat this summer; never a threat back hurdling when ninth at Carlisle (2m4f) 15 days ago but he probably raced on disadvantageous part of the track so it would come as no surprise to see him bounce back here.

Back off the same mark as when winning at Hamilton (1m4f, good to firm) last summer and seems to go on any ground, but is still to show that he wants this far on the Flat. |

4th 6 (6) |

Won this race in 2022 and was also successful at Hamilton (1m4f, good to firm) last spring; back on a good mark now but looked out of sorts on latest hurdling start in February and has become very unreliable. |

A fairly useful bumper winner but he twice failed to build on a promising hurdling debut third at Newcastle in 2021; now returns after a 19-month absence and the market can prove a good guide.

A fair maiden hurdler who wasn't disgraced when fifth of ten in 2m Uttoxeter handicap hurdle in May; cheekpieces go on for his return and he's no forlorn hope off a 3lb lower mark.

Signed off for Richard Hobson with two wins at Fakenham (both 2m5f, good) in April and didn't run badly in a stronger race there on this month's stable debut; likely to be suited by this fairly similar track too, and enters calculations; cheekpieces removed; tongue-tie refitted. |

Went close here (3m, good) in July and also ran well when third at Cartmel (3m1f, heavy) last month but was disappointing favourite here 16 days ago and is now 0-25 over hurdles; visor refitted today. |

Has been brought along steadily, returning from six months off with a patiently-ridden sixth of ten in novice over C&D 27 days ago; he can take a sizeable step forward now going handicapping; interesting.

Well beaten over C&D (soft) on stable debut in April but fared much better when clear second over 2m here (good to firm) in June and is a contender if coping with today's move back up in trip. |

Had placed form in Irish maiden hurdles but it's been a sticky start for his current yard with no shows in 2m3f and 2m4f handicaps; dropping back in distance could work but he needs to find overall improvement. |
