11st 7lb |
8-59, although his last win came in a two-runner affair at Carlisle (2m1f; 2-5 favourite; all out) in December 2023; latest Carlisle sixth (beaten 15l; 50-1) not overly inspiring; others more obvious. |

Has won six times over hurdles, the latest a two-runner affair over C&D (good to soft) in December 2023; a couple of fair runs for this yard last year but pulled up when last seen out in January (reportedly never travelling); others appeal more. |

On a long losing spell and form figures of 246 this term reflect that a turnaround of sorts is required; admittedly appears well treated if that resurgence materialises, being 7lb below last winning mark. |

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. |

11st 11lb |
His jumping lacked fluency and he was tailed off on last month's chase and stable debut at Southwell; however, he was sent off joint-favourite and it will be interesting to see if this very lightly raced 6yo attracts market support now back over hurdles; he's one to consider. |

Pulled up over 3m on hurdle debut in Ireland in March 2021 but his two 2m runs for Stuart Coltherd last season were much more encouraging; makes chase/handicap debut after 258-day absence but market support will make him of strong interest; tongue-tie removed; hood added. |

Fair fourth at Hexham (2m, good to soft) in September when back from a long absence; tailed off/pulled up since in his first two handicaps (both 2m4f, soft); it's possible he'll appreciate this return to better ground but he has plenty to prove. |
