Rapunzel Me Hair Flips And Sips Handicap Chase

Immediate improvement upon joining James Owen, scoring for fifth time at Catterick and backing it up with solid placed efforts next 4 of 5 starts, collared close home and clear of rest when good second of 14 in handicap chase at Worcester (23f, good) latest. Should go well again up in trip.

Didn't go on as hoped in bumpers after a winning debut but made second hurdles start a winning one at Fontwell in October. Mixed record since but decent start over fences when placed at Worcester last 2 outings. Respected.

Resumed winning ways at Warwick in May and backed it up with a solid fourth at Worcester. Let down by jumping there since but type to bounce back.

Completed hat-trick at Stratford in October. Good placed efforts at Fakenham/C&D before let down by a rare jumping lapse in first-time headgear at Worcester 5 weeks ago. Cheekpieces quickly discarded.

Off the mark in handicap chase at Fakenham on New Year's Day 2023. Lightly raced since but made encouraging return when third at Worcester 6 weeks ago. Player.

Successful on the Flat at Ffos Las (2m) last summer and over hurdles at Hereford (25f) in November. Shaped with some promise on chase debut when fourth over C&D in June and in good form back on the level since.
