Form & Verdict

Quite useful on the Flat for the Crisfords over 1m4f on turf and at staying trips on AW; returned from a year off with an encouraging hurdle debut over C&D (good) in June for new yard, settling well and mostly jumping soundly behind two who had won on the Flat in France; looks sure to improve.

Form & Verdict

Returned from two years off to win a Ludlow bumper in 2025; up against it on first two hurdle starts but he ran better when third of eight finishers at Bangor (about 2m3f, good) in March and wasn't far away, though held, when falling at the last at Warwick since; in contention.

Form & Verdict

Form & Verdict

Out of a half-sister to Group 3 and Listed winners; has run respectably in two of three bumpers, most recently behind two newcomers here in May on yard debut; others may be too sharp for him now he's hurdling.
