Absent since justifying market support at Huntingdon (3m1f, good) ten months ago when returned to hurdles after an unsuccessful spell over fences; the betting may again prove instructive. |

11st 6lb |
Won here (3m, soft) in May 2023 on handicap hurdle debut, his final start for Victor Dartnall; below form on chase/stable debut that October and showed little when back over hurdles in December after 425 days off; switching from cheekpieces to blinkers requires a huge response. |

11st 4lb |
Has been beaten 38l or more in his four hurdle runs, including off a basement mark in a Warwick handicap (2m, good) last week; can only be watched back in a maiden at this new trip. |

24th May 2023 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 5 |

Showed no significant promise in three qualifying runs during the winter (2m-2m2f) but makes handicap debut from a lowly mark and has more realistic chance to get competitive this time; 2lb wrong; tongue-tie added. |

10st 5lb |
Record of 2-7 over fences and he ran a big race in defeat at Exeter (2m3f, good to soft) last month; is also well suited by this track and he should be in the mix again after a short break. |

11st 11lb |
3-6 over fences, the latest win gained at Kempton (2m4f, soft; made all) in February; needs to return from seven-month break in prime form to have any chance off current mark but the forecast good ground won't be a problem. |

11st 6lb |
Second favourite for bumper at Chepstow (2m, good) last April but soon in rear and beaten 25l; now switches to hurdling after an absence but yard is in good form and interesting to see if his backers return. |

11st 2lb |
Won a point and placed in a bumper before going absent for 638 days; minor form in three novice hurdles and a handicap chase last season; returns to hurdles with low mileage for an 8yo but others have more compelling credentials. |

2nd Mar 2023 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Irish maiden point winner; third in a bumper in March 2021 but, with wind surgery last August, he did not race again until well held in three novice hurdles this winter (latest at Newbury last month); now makes chase debut and goes beyond 2m3f for the first time under rules. |

24th May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 210y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Dual hurdle winner on slow ground; safely held on chasing debut in November and well beaten when back over hurdles in February; back from another three-month break with cheekpieces refitted; others have much less to prove. |
8/1 |

20th Feb 2026 Soft 1m 7f 182y Class 5 |
10st 13lb |
Mark and ground both fine, but have to hope confidence hasn't been dented by being brought down two starts back and enduring a rough race on November's chasing debut; unraced over this short since autumn 2024. |

3rd May 2025 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Won at Fontwell (3m2f, heavy) last spring and was also narrowly successful at Lingfield (2m7f, soft) in November; should appreciate the return to this sort of trip and a new headgear combination is given a go but he could do with rain. |
