Smart hurdler has run well on the Flat in defeat but is returning off a long absence and can only be watched. |

11st 11lb |
Returned from long absence with two disappointing runs at start of this year but bounced back to form with front-running success at Taunton (2m, soft) last month; still very well handicapped on older form and will be fine on today's faster ground; must be considered. |

3rd Oct 2024 Good To Soft 2m 5f 0y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Low-mileage 9yo; returned from layoff with good second at Chepstow (2m, good) in April but was tailed off at Worcester in August, after another break, and needs to put that performance behind him. |

Low-mileage 9yo; back over hurdles when second of nine at Chepstow (2m, good), but was finding it hard work when falling at Warwick in early May; this is a drop in grade, though. |

27th Jul 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Placed at Cheltenham (2m1f, good) in April, his second run for Sophie Leech, and not beaten far competitive Swinton Hurdle at Haydock (1m7f, good) the following month; safely held in both subsequent races but one was on heavy ground in France and the other was on the idiosyncratic track at Cartmel; on career-low mark here; dangerous to ignore. |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 2 |
10st 2lb |
Placed at Cheltenham (2m1f, good) in April, his second run for Sophie Leech, and not beaten far in last month's competitive Swinton Hurdle at Haydock (1m7f, good); well held in France since and 2lb wrong here but he's versatile ground-wise and might be boosted by the new cheekpieces. |

10th May 2025 Good 1m 7f 144y Class 1 |

Long absences are a feature in this 9yo's profile; kept on for fourth of 16 at Cheltenham (2m1f, good) on latest start, finishing just over 3l behind Big Boy Bobby; looks vulnerable off an untouched mark. |

21st Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 123y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Goes well at Taunton where he won comfortably a month ago (2m, heavy; second run in cheekpieces), and has shown he can deal with this 3lb higher mark and this sort of ground; has won going left-handed and, with a strike-rate of 6-18 over hurdles, this 9yo is likable. |

12th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 0f 104y Class 3 |

Decent course record, including second in this last year off 4lb higher; showed himself none the worse for his chase debut fall at Kempton in November when third to Celtic Art over 2m3f here in first-time cheekpieces (retained) last month; claims if he can build on that; has won on heavy. |

Dangerous off this mark on peak hurdle form but finished last on the Flat only recently after a long absence; trip/ground fine but has some questions to answer. |

25th Sep 2025 Good 1m 4f 0y Class 4 |
9st 4lb |
Won a 1m6f AW handicap off 1lb higher on his yard debut in November 2022; better known as a quite useful handicap hurdler since but he hasn't been seen since finishing a creditable third at Perth in August 2024; chance he'll be using this as a prep ahead of a return to hurdles but the betting is perhaps the best guide to expectations. |
20/1 |

17th Aug 2024 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 2 |

Got the better of Quaresome (who runs in the 5.35pm) and Castel Gandolfo when scoring at Market Rasen (2m, good) in June; however, the tables were turned (weakened into seventh, beaten over 10l) in the valuable Summer Handicap Hurdle the following month; yet to taste success from this mark. |

21st Sep 2025 Good To Firm 1m 7f 195y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
Not as good as he was but that's reflected in his mark and he knows his way around this place; returning from a break when third in this 12 months ago off a 4lb higher mark; could easily have a role to play. |
7/2 |

29th Jun 2025 Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Not quite as good as he was but still a useful performer; placed on final two starts last season (2m hurdle/2m1f chase) and drops back in trip after looking stretched by 2m4f last month; probably best on good/good to soft but has won on soft; enters calculations. |

16th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |

Not quite as good as he was but still a useful performer; second off today's mark on latest hurdling start at Newbury (2m, good to soft) in March and also ran well when third in Sussex Champion Chase at Plumpton (2m1f, good) last month; well worth another crack at 2m4f; probably won't be far away. |

8th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Has very good 7-31 strike-rate over hurdles but a couple of those wins were collected in small-field races in Jersey; didn't run badly when last of five at Exeter last month, after a layoff, and could be favoured if the ground ends up quicker than good here, but her two younger rivals appeal more. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 2m 6f 164y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Chase record is 5-11, the most recent win at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last spring; seen only twice since but ran well in a notable handicap at Plumpton (2m1f) the latest time; possibilities at the weights, provided he stays the new trip. |

2nd 2 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 219y Class 2 |
11st 9lb |
Made it 5-9 over fences with convincing win at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good) last May; pulled up on sole run since, at Ascot in December, but the good to soft ground may not have suited; second in this last year; could go well. |

25th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |

Chase career commenced with a four-timer last spring/summer; subsequently lost his form until running well, beating all bar a similarly useful stablemate, in major handicap at Plumpton (2m1f, good) last time; possibilities, provided he's as effective back up in trip. |
