Inferior to a few of these on the Flat; won his first two hurdles (including a Listed race at Wetherby on good to soft) but his limitations were seemingly exposed when only fourth at Cheltenham in the race won by Scriptwriter; appeared to have no excuses under a positive ride.

Inconsistent on the Flat this year but a very useful performer when on song; made the frame in valuable 1m2f York handicap two starts ago (RPR 98) and is a very interesting recruit to hurdling.

Second in this race in 2024 and won it last year (good to firm); now he has a 4lb lower mark than last year; that's having failed to finish in the first six in any of his seven races since, but at least his latest start was better than reappearance and it's not unheard of for runners from this stable to surge back to form.

His form went the wrong way last season and he was soundly beaten on last month's return at Newmarket; however, he may have needed that run and is 2lb lower than when winning at Newmarket (1m6f, good to firm) last July; versatile ground-wise; not ruled out.

Well treated on her second in a Down Royal handicap (1m5f, good) in July 2022 but she's not seen much action since and has struggled over hurdles for her current yard; still relatively lightly raced but she comes with risks attached back in this sphere; tongue-tie added.

Never looked dangerous when well-held fourth over C&D (good) on last month's stable debut and is effectively on the same mark today but that was his first start since September 2023 and there's a good chance he'll come on for the run; cheekpieces refitted.

Half-sister to very useful hurdler Montbazon; headed only on the run-in after attempting to make all in claiming hurdle at Auteuil (2m1f, very soft; wore tongue-tie/cheekpieces) in June and her proven ability over jumps is a big selling point on this British debut; no headgear today.
