C&D novice winner on soft in March 2022; returned from a long absence in October and he was better here last time when third in a stronger race; if his jumping sharpens up for cheekpieces he should have a major say.

29th Nov 2024 Good 3m 1f 15y |
11st 12lb |
Two hurdle wins for Paul Nicholls; has failed to get to grips with chasing so far, tailed off at Cheltenham on stable debut but a little better when plugging on into fourth at Gowran (2m4f, good) latest; step up in trip might help. |

11st 12lb |
Two hurdle wins for Paul Nicholls; has failed to get to grips with chasing so far, pulled up at Wincanton in February, and tailed off at Cheltenham 15 days ago on stable debut; yard's Due Course has a more obvious chance. |

25th Oct 2024 Good 3m 1f 0y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
His handicap hurdle win for Paul Nicholls came off this mark (2m3f); lost his way for that yard, trying fences (pulled up) and various headgear; stamina is a further issue over this far but he's only a 6yo and the Cromwell factor heightens interest when his runners over the two days here last year finished 12211. |

10st 4lb |
0-11 over hurdles; excelled himself when 66-1 second here (2m3f, good to soft; no match for easy winner) in December but struggled when reappearing at Wincanton in February; not the most obvious answer. |

10st 2lb |
Ran surprisingly well from 22lb out of the weights when virtually upsides Nordic Tiger at Taunton (2m3f, good to soft) which was easily his best form yet; only 4lb wrong here and 11lb lower than last time; has to be considered. |

Not all that far away in two novices before holding every chance two out and going down by under 2l on his switch to handicaps at Lingfield (2m, good to soft); this longer trip won't be an issue on breeding.

23rd Apr 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 88y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Struck form in February, winning handicaps at Wincanton (2m4f, good to soft) and Huntingdon (2m, soft); no match for much improved rival when well-held second at Plumpton (2m4f, soft) last month but remains of interest. |

Dual chase winner but was pulled up over fences last time after never travelling; his form can fluctuate but he ran well over hurdles at Newton Abbot in October and is hard to dismiss.

Placed off 8lb higher at Newton Abbot (2m5f, soft) in October and will also be suited by today's faster ground but has looked badly out of sorts since and needs to turn things around. |

1st Apr 2024 Soft 2m 3f 100y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Won over C&D last season and was placed off 5lb higher at Newton Abbot (2m5f, soft) in October after an absence, but his form nosedived towards the end of last year and he needs to have been refreshed by another break. |

Seriously progressive with cheekpieces on AW Flat this February-April, staying 2m well; last seen finishing down the field at Royal Ascot; uncompetitive in his two handicaps over hurdles but he's a maiden winner and still lightly raced in this scene; potentially on a very good mark; tongue-tie joins the cheekpieces that worked well for him on the Flat.

Pulled up at 22-1 on stable debut at Newton Abbot (2m5f, heavy) in October; however, this French winner (2m3f, good to soft) has had a wind op since; one to watch in the betting now back on less testing ground. |

3rd Dec 2024 Good To Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Won three handicap hurdles on the trot on good/good to soft in February 2023; mainly disappointing since; hard to know what to expect now going over fences for the first time (fell in two of her three starts pointing in Ireland). |

16th Oct 2024 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Three-time winner in February 2023 but largely disappointing since; ran one of her better races when a respectable fifth, in a race that has produced winners since, at Newton Abbot in August (2m3f, good; Ryder's Rock behind in 6th); comes with risk but is undoubtedly well treated and needs considering. |

Won three times in the space of nine days in February 2023; generally very disappointing since, except when fourth at Worcester two runs back. |
