27th Nov 2024 Good To Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Quite useful on the Flat in his prime but has not shown a great deal in his five hurdling starts since September; beaten about 23l when fifth of sixth here (2m, good) a fortnight ago; tries a new trip today. |

15th May 2023 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 0y |

Ten wins from 50 starts on the level; some promise in his hurdle bow at Ballinrobe on debut for this yard but tailed off back at that venue earlier this month; looks up against it. |

Ten-time Flat winner for Rod Milman in Britain; tame hurdles debut over C&D last month however and probably best watched for now. |

7th Aug 2025 Good 1m 3f 198y Class 4 |
10st 3lb |
Won this 12 months ago and returns on a hat-trick after another course win (made all) and a success at Salisbury that looked unlikely until he picked up late on; might travel sweeter back at this track and can cope with this mark. |

12th Jul 2025 Good To Firm 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
9st 7lb |
Returned from three-month break with front-running win at Brighton (1m4f, good) in May and will be fine on the faster surface here but he's probably not quite as good as he was; younger rivals appeal more. |

Ordinary form on the AW during the winter but he is 5lb lower than when winning over C&D (good to firm) last August; off since February but he's respected back here on this return. |

Four turf wins at up 2m on the Flat; now only 1lb higher than for last success (August 2023) but he was tailed off at Bath on his recent return and is 0-12 on AW; down the list. |

23rd Sep 2024 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
Added a sixth point win in May and has been giving it a good go back on the Flat since, including when fourth of 13 behind an improver at Bath (2m1f, good) last time; still unexposed on AW and has possibilities if he can transfer his form back to this sphere. |

14th Sep 2024 Good To Soft 2m 1f 24y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Added a sixth point win in May and has been giving it a good go back on the Flat since, keeping on stoutly into third of nine to Triple Nickle at Ffos Las (2m, heavy) recently; his proven stamina makes him a big player. |

Won a point in the spring and has posted three pretty good efforts since returned to the Flat, most recently when third at Lingfield (2m, good to firm) last month; versatile regarding ground; probably on the premises again. |

Runner-up in maiden hurdle here (1m7f, good to soft) in April 2023 and won AW handicap 13 days later; however, following a long absence he's been pulled up in two handicap hurdles this season and has plenty to prove. |

Modest dual 1m4f Flat winner; showed something over hurdles in spring 2023 over the minimum trip but little when returned to this sphere for 2m handicap in November; trying an extra mile today is not greatly persuasive. |

Useful in staying events at the right level for Louise Allan in 2022 but has lost his way and not yet shown signs of finding it again back with former trainer; one to watch for now. |

Scored off this mark at Bath two years ago, then ran creditably over C&D; subsequent form (Flat/jumps) is mostly unconvincing; market can guide on first run since rejoining Louise Allan. |

6-17 over hurdles, the latest win gained at Cartmel (2m1f, good) in May; very respectable fifth off today's career-high mark in competitive race at Market Rasen (2m4f, good to soft) in July; probably won't be far away. |

Verdict
A valuable series final that, like the rest of today’s card, has been transferred from Bath. It’s easy to build a strong case for Singing The Blues, who won twice here last month and is still well handicapped on older form, but EAGLE COURT (nap) got his career back on track with a good AW win two starts ago and may perform even better now back on soft turf. Lexington Knight can also feature, while Appreciate is of interest if judged on this season’s very productive spell over hurdles.[Chris Wilson]
