Won final start last term and also on his first and latest races this season; latest was over 2m1f at Carlisle (good), so there's no doubting his stamina, but his three runs on either good to soft or soft have left a bit more to be desired.

Won a three-runner novice (1m4f, heavy) on debut; no joy since and pulled up on good to firm when out of his depth at Royal Ascot last time on final start for Dominic Ffrench Davis; however, two placed efforts (2m2f/2m) when front-running in the mud this spring give encouragement; 7lb claimer enlisted.

Beaten seven times since winning a three-runner heavy-ground 1m4f novice at Leicester which was a non-event; has shown that he's a capable staying handicapper but there's nothing in his form to suggest he can compete on these terms. |

Won over hurdles (heavy) in March and on the Flat at Hamilton (1m5f, soft) in May; out of form on his last three outings, wearing cheekpieces on last two occasions and now he tries blinkers; that's on the discouraging side but the return to soft or heavy ground looks a big plus.

28th Aug 2024 Good 2m 2f 28y Class 4 |

Won over hurdles in March and back on the Flat (Hamilton 1m5f) in May; backward steps on last two starts, trying cheekpieces (kept here) when 50-1 over 2m at Ascot on latest; just 1lb above that Hamilton mark but it's hard to rely on him being back at that form. |

9st 1lb |
Won over hurdles in March and back on the Flat (Hamilton 1m5f) in May; disappointing on latest start and cheekpieces are now given a go; he's also back to about 2m, over which he was soundly beaten last September but won last June; may well need a career best and 5lb claimer is called on. |

Last year's sole win was over 2m on heavy and he was back near that level when winning at York (2m, good to soft) this July; needs to bounce back from a big defeat four weeks ago and 7lb claimer is enlisted, but seriously considered.

Sole win last year was over C&D in August and he has the same mark today; missed most of this season and he was second over C&D last time but his record on soft or heavy ground is a big worry.

Recorded form figures of 21123 over 1m4f-2m in a very productive March/April, mostly in the mud and two of those runs were at this track; 140 days off before a respectable show two weeks ago and he'll be a serious player if that's brought him back to his best.

Recorded form figures of 21123 in a very productive March/April; his absence since is no big concern given his good record fresh and he also acts well in the mud; reasons to be positive. |

Made all in clearcut fashion in 12-runner maiden at Ripon (1m4f, heavy) in April; seemed to find 1m4f on good ground too sharp at York (handicap debut) next time but didn't fire when upped to 14.5f at Doncaster (again on good) latest; gelded soon afterwards and absent four months; interesting prospect for staying trips in the mud.

Made all in clearcut fashion in 12-runner maiden at Ripon (1m4f, heavy) in April; seemed to find 1m4f on good ground on the sharp side when fourth on York handicap debut 16 days ago, staying on only once it was too late; could resume his progression now stepping up in trip. |
8/1 |

4th 8 (9) |
16th May 2024 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 3 |
8st 9lb |
Stoutly bred and moving up to 1m4f did the trick when he made all in clearcut fashion in 12-runner maiden at Ripon four weeks ago; both his turf runs have been on heavy going and there is more for him to prove away from that, but he looks a useful staying prospect. |
8/1 |
