Two Flat wins in Britain and second three times over hurdles for Jonjo O'Neill; struggled over 1m on his only Flat start last season; probably best watched now. |

towards rear of midfield, going okay but in rear and still plenty to do home turn, headway 2 out, soon pushed along, ridden and chased leader approaching last, kept on but no impression run-in |

Two Flat wins (both in blinkers) but yet to score over hurdles; easily beaten when second at Stratford last month and now takes a serious step up in trip; more to prove than a few. |

16th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Well treated on his old form but his last win was in December 2024 and he's finished down the field in his three completed starts this year; cheekpieces now return but he needs to raise his game. |

Returned from break with two below-par runs towards the end of last season and suffered mid-race mishap on latest outing this month but he has slipped to a good mark and can't be ruled out. |

Last win came in December 2024 off 6lb higher; hasn't been firing on all cylinders recently but is down to a career-low mark and cannot dismiss. |

7th Jun 2024 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
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. |

Did not progress after winning maiden hurdle in June 2022 but gave pretty good account when close fourth of 11 at Huntingdon (2m3f, good) a fortnight ago; drops back in trip with tongue-tie and cheekpieces both refitted; one to consider. |

Placed in eight of her 17 career starts but still awaiting a win; fair third in two maiden races last month and should be on the premises again. |

Fair on the Flat (albeit a maiden), and placed in two run-of-the-mill maiden hurdles this summer (2m2f/2m); not obviously well treated for today's handicap hurdle debut but has scope for improvement; respected. |
4/1 |
