Form & Verdict

Changed hands for £215,000 in May 2023 after an easy win in an Irish point (good to yielding); has since made much of the running when gaining smooth successes over hurdles at Market Rasen (2m1f, good) and Wetherby (2m, good); promising type with plenty of untapped potential.

Form & Verdict

Falls into the could-be-anything category; won bumper at Huntingdon (good; easily) in April and novice hurdle at Ayr (2m, good to soft; cheekily) in October, both with plenty in hand; this is a sterner assignment but he's probably a useful prospect and needs serious consideration.

Form & Verdict

Showed some improvement to get off the mark over hurdles at Kelso (2m, good to soft) last month, not extended to pull 7l clear, but he's in much deeper here and stable jockey Derek Fox rides Rocheval.

Form & Verdict

Has done everything right so far, beating the same stablemate in an Aintree bumper and an Ayr juvenile hurdle (2m) before proving too good for a different stablemate at Carlisle (2m1f) in March, all those races on soft ground; both runners-up have boosted the form with victories since; faces a higher calibre of rival here but may take another step forward after a break.
