11st 13lb |
Started off for Harry Derham with two good hurdle runs (the first a 3m win) towards end of last year and was very respectable sixth in valuable handicap on latest outing in February; has an Irish point win on his CV and looks a very interesting recruit to chasing. |

3rd Feb 2024 Soft 2m 7f 98y Class 1 |
10st 8lb |
Progressive 2212 record in handicap hurdles; scored in gritty fashion at Ascot (nearly 3m1f) in November and put up another most tenacious performance when beaten a head, having made most, over an extended 2m7f there (again on good; probably acts on soft) one month later; up another 5lb but surely won't go down without a fight. |

Absent since comfortable success in small field at Haydock (3m1f, good) six months ago; faces a stiffer task from 5lb out of weights in this better race and seems unlikely to follow up. |

19th Apr 2025 Good 3m 1f 125y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won smoothly on soft ground in this race last year (7lb higher today); handicapper has had the call since but seconds at Warwick (3m5f, good) and Haydock (3m4f, good) on last two outings showed that he should have a big say in this very small field. |

Started off for Lizzie Quinlan with three pretty good efforts last summer (one over C&D) and is versatile regarding ground; returned from layoff with quiet run in July but has possibilities here if that outing brought him on. |

Dual hurdle winner; his third at Ffos Las in October reads quite well (3m1f, soft) but comfortably held in his three other handicap chases, the latest here; needs more. |

12st 2lb |
Easily won this last year and made it 3-3 here (good-heavy) when scoring over C&D in March; soundly beaten on final start last season and pulled up here on her return, but she may have needed that run and is entitled to respect based on her excellent record here previously. |

Placed three times at up to 3m1f over hurdles, all on slow ground; well treated on his form of a year ago but plenty to prove based on three starts since wind surgery. |

Struggled in first three handicaps but his third of 16 behind Fantomas at Hereford (3m1f, good to soft) a fortnight ago was much better; contender if able to build on that performance. |
