Two Flat wins in Britain and second three times over hurdles for Jonjo O'Neill; struggled over 1m on his only Flat start last season; probably best watched now. |

Two Flat wins (both in blinkers) but yet to score over hurdles; easily beaten when second at Stratford last month and now takes a serious step up in trip; more to prove than a few. |

2nd Jun 2026 Good 2m 4f 88y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Last win came in December 2024 off 6lb higher; hasn't been firing on all cylinders recently but is down to a career-low mark and cannot dismiss. |

21st Apr 2026 Soft 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Returned from three-month break with respectable fourth here (2m3f, soft) in March last time and will be fine over this longer trip, but he's not really been firing on all cylinders since last summer; others appeal more. |
14/1 |

16th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Seemingly aided by addition of cheekpieces when making the frame three consecutive times (2m7f-3m) towards end of last year but still wasn't really firing on all cylinders; should be fine over this shorter trip but the headgear is missing today and he needs to have been refreshed by his three-month break. |

7th Jun 2024 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Won a maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter in June 2022 (2m, good); some fair efforts over fences and hurdles without winning since, last time finishing creditable fifth in handicap hurdle at Sedgefield (2m1f, good; cheekpieces tried); headgear retained; worth considering. |

10th May 2024 Good 2m 0f 178y Class 5 |
11st 7lb |
Did not progress after winning maiden hurdle in June 2022 but gave pretty good account when close fourth of 11 at Huntingdon (2m3f, good) a fortnight ago; drops back in trip with tongue-tie and cheekpieces both refitted; one to consider. |

23rd Aug 2022 Good 2m 0f 145y Class 4 |

Placed in eight of her 17 career starts but still awaiting a win; fair third in two maiden races last month and should be on the premises again. |

18th Aug 2022 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |

Fair on the Flat (albeit a maiden), and placed in two run-of-the-mill maiden hurdles this summer (2m2f/2m); not obviously well treated for today's handicap hurdle debut but has scope for improvement; respected. |
4/1 |
