Placed on two of first four starts for Matt Sheppard and looked suited by switch to more positive tactics when scoring over C&D (good) four weeks ago; 5lb rise demands more from him today but it's reasonable to expect another good run.

27th Nov 2024 Good To Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Won twice over 2m5f here last year and was back on the scoresheet at Worcester (2m4f, good; refitted cheekpieces) this summer; not quite at best lately, though, and would appeal more on genuinely good ground. |

8th Oct 2024 Good 2m 3f 137y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Triple hurdle winner at up to 2m5f (stays 3m), most recent off 4lb lower; has to bounce back from a lesser effort at Worcester (2m7f) last time but he's a likely type to do so; each-way claims. |

Placed in all three handicaps, most recently when third on last month's seasonal debut at Wincanton (1m7f, soft); should also be suited by today's trip-and-ground combination and features prominently in calculations.

22nd Nov 2024 Good To Soft 2m 7f 180y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Chase debut; won over hurdles at Taunton (2m3f, good) on final run last term and could improve for last month's comeback fifth at Newton Abbot (2m5f, heavy); this is a pretty tough field in which to prove himself over fences but his yard is in fine form and the step back up in trip may suit. |

5th 9 |
30th Oct 2024 Heavy 2m 5f 122y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
Consistent last season and deserved his win off 5lb lower at Taunton (2m3f, good) where he saw off a subsequent winner; probably still on a reasonable mark but, although effective on soft, it's questionable whether he wants it heavy. |
8/1 |
|
1st 2 |
24th Apr 2024 Good 2m 3f 1y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Still a maiden but has run a few good races in handicaps (1m7f-3m1f) and, although well beaten in a maiden last month, the winner went in again last weekend; unlikely to be far away. |

Showed nothing more than minor promise in three novice hurdles (2m-2m5f) but makes handicap debut from a lowly mark and has more realistic chance to get competitive this time.

12th Nov 2024 Good 3m 1f 44y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Maiden hurdler who was a close second at Fontwell (3m2f, heavy) in March off 1lb lower; looked in need of last month's reappearance but pedigree suggests he's a likely type to improve for the switch to fences; interesting. |
12/1 |

13th Oct 2024 Soft 2m 7f 191y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
0-7 over hurdles but posted sound effort when keeping-on third over C&D (good to soft) off today's mark in May and has obvious each-way claims if in similar form after five-month break. |

Fairly useful Flat racer who lost out only by a head on handicap hurdle debut at Huntingdon (2m4f, good) a week ago and gets another chance off the same mark here; has a tendency to hang left under pressure but still commands respect.

9st 4lb |
1m6f win at Sandown last July and beaten by a head over hurdles in November; those were two of the best efforts in a very in-and-out campaign (hampered on sole start here) and he was always behind when reappearing 12 days ago; wore cheekpieces on six of his last seven starts but they're off today. |

Twice made the frame on good ground during the summer (2m/2m4f) and quickly put a lacklustre run behind him when very respectable fourth at Wincanton (3m, good) last month but is 0-8 over hurdles now and others here have more potential.

19th Jun 2024 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 5 |

Well beaten on both hurdling starts in the spring but his fourth at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft) last month was much more encouraging; almost certainly needs to improve again to make a winning handicap debut but that's possible, and this move back up in trip ought to suit.

100-1 second in Worcester maiden (2m, good) in September, his second run over hurdles, and last month's Exeter fourth (2m2f, good to firm) was also quite promising; upped in trip again for today's handicap debut; could have a say.
