Form & Verdict

11st 3lb

J: Philip Armson

T: Richard Armson

Completed his hat-trick over fences at Hexham (3m, soft), albeit in a race that fell apart at the seams; he's been plying his trade in Class 5s and now has to cope with a 9lb rise, but wouldn't put it past him.

J: Philip Armson

T: Richard Armson

Maiden hurdler but he's proving progressive over fences and landed handicaps (around 3m) at Market Rasen and Plumpton recently, showing a likeable attitude on latter occasion; up 2lb but he remains quite lightly raced and merits serious consideration in his hat-trick attempt.

Consistent since switched to chasing in the autumn and made all to score by 11l at Market Rasen (3m, soft) three weeks ago; should also be suited by this left-handed track and can make another bold bid.

Won heavy-ground Irish point in February 2024 but pulled up in her first two chases; showed much more when second to easy winner over C&D (soft) 16 days ago; a repeat of that effort gives her a chance.

Lightly raced 9yo who arrives in good form, runner-up to Scottish King in 3m Musselburgh handicap last month; this point winner needs considering despite being 2lb out of the handicap.

Form & Verdict
Has won three times over hurdles and finished third for the fourth successive time in that sphere at Southwell (3m, good to soft) 15 days ago; back over fences after a couple of failed attempts in November 2023 but tends to find at least one too good.
