7 yo Gelding

Lightly raced 7yo who justified favouritism when making all in a maiden hurdle win at Warwick (2m3f, good) in his final run last season; returns from 200 days off but he should have a future over fences and is respected for in-form yard.

12th Apr 2024 Good 2m 5f 44y Class 4 |
11st 12lb
|
Two wins this season, over C&D off 5lb lower in November (good to soft) and over 2m3f off 2lb lower at Market Rasen in January (good to soft); fair run in first-time blinkers (retained) last time (2m6f); chance. |

22nd Mar 2024 Good To Soft 2m 6f 93y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Made it 2-3 over fences when scoring at Market Rasen (2m3f, good to soft) in January and he had an excuse on his step up to 3m at Market Rasen last month; that was another blip in his patchy profile but he still has potential in this sphere and is a big player if he can bounce back again; first-time blinkers replace cheekpieces. |

5 yo Gelding
OR: 108
Scored over fences (2m2f, heavy) in France last June but has mixed record in four runs for current yard and was tailed off at Stratford (15-8 favourite) in his final run last season; comes with risks attached after 245 days off and others are preferred.

16th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Won twice in France for Emmanuel Clayeux, including over fences (2m2f, heavy); placed four times for this trainer, and now rated 6lb lower than when runner-up at Fakenham (2m5f) last November; too keen when last in action at Huntingdon; first run since wind surgery. |
14/1 |
5th 1 |
25th Mar 2024 Good To Soft 2m 3f 189y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
A fairly useful 2m2f winning chaser in France; yet to add to that for his current yard but he arrives in good nick, sixth of 14 in 2m3f Exeter handicap in January; that race has thrown up four subsequent winners so he merits serious consideration off a 3lb lower mark. |
11/2 |
6th 4 |
31st Jan 2024 Good To Soft 2m 3f 48y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Mostly kept to sharper tracks than this over fences for new yard and a recent fourth of nine finishers at Plumpton (2m3f, soft) further suggests he has his share of weight without some improvement. |
10/1 |

Form: 14425-
Last run: 219 days
W: 10st 4lb
11 yo Gelding
OR: 84
Only 1lb higher than when winning over fences at Pumpton (2m1f, good to soft) in January but this veteran returns after 219 days off and he has form figures of 7P0684 at this sort of trip; has work to do in new headgear for new yard.

21st Jul 2024 Good To Soft 2m 2f 110y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Now 7lb lower than a close call over fences in December but he's proved vulnerable since and reverts to hurdles for the first time since April 2023; others higher up the list. |

26th May 2024 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
12yo who still seems to retain ability, but he has 13l to find with Mister Upton on latest C&D running and a 12lb pull is not enough to tempt; drying ground wouldn't be ideal for him. |
8/1 |
9/4
Form: P-P411 C

W: 11st 7lb
9 yo Gelding
OR: 101
Has won five of his last nine starts and he made it 7-22 over fences when completing a double at Hereford (2m5f, good to firm) last month; all of his wins have been good/good to firm but he still looks on a workable mark and is a big player again if conditions are in his favour.

14th Oct 2024 Good 2m 4f 194y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Seven-time chase winner on good/good to firm, including this race last year; suffered two heavy defeats during the summer and was a first-fence faller on latest outing but returns here on a good mark and with conditions in his favour. |
25/1 |

21st Aug 2024 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Seven-time chase winner on good/good to firm (2m-2m5f); has a point to prove after two heavy defeats this summer but 2m7f might well have stretched him over hurdles here last time and today's assignment looks more suitable. |
14/1 |
8th 5 |
25th Jul 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
11st 10lb |
Likes good ground but he's a chaser these days and hasn't raced over hurdles since 2020; pulled up on his latest chase and has never run over this far. |

Won over hurdles in France (2m1f, soft) last March but he struggled at big prices in three runs in Britain this spring; now switches to fences after 206 days off and has plenty to prove at this new trip.

16th May 2024 Good 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
2m1f hurdle winner (soft) when trained in France; has jumped and hung left on his last couple of starts, the latest when beaten over 12l (C&D, good); drops 2lb; more needed. |

19th Apr 2024 Good To Soft 2m 3f 104y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Placed off 7lb higher at Lingfield (2m, good to soft) in November and looked set to open British account over C&D (heavy) in February, only to tire on the run-in; contender if judged on those exploits but is not very consistent and needs to bounce back from last month's disappointing run. |

5 yo Gelding

Won a hurdle handicap at Taunton (3m, good) in March but he's been disappointing in both runs since; still lightly raced but he's been hard to predict so far and needs to get back on track on this switch to fences.

8th Oct 2024 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Resumed with a promising second in 3m Ffos Las handicap chase in May and he also caught the eye when a running-on sixth of 11 back hurdling at Worcester (2m4f) last month; interesting. |
13/2 |
6th 13 |
1st Sep 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Came second in a chase in May but has largely been disappointing since his narrow 3m hurdle win in March 2023; drops back in trip with usual tongue-tie left off here; not the most obvious answer. |
16/1 |
8th 15 |
17th Aug 2024 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Sole win came at Taunton (3m, good; first-time tongue-tie) in March 2023; now rated 5lb lower, and seemed to turn a bit of a corner when runner-up over fences at Ffos Las (3m; beaten 9l) in May; off for three months thereafter, so difficult to know how he'll fare back over hurdles. |
7/1 |
