22nd Mar 2025 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Dual Flat winner and was a smart juvenile hurdler two seasons ago, winning twice and competitive at the top level; handicapped accordingly and left Joseph O'Brien under a bit of a cloud, albeit when highly tried; if as good as he was and not held back by his fitness after 233 days away, he'd go close; unraced over this far as a hurdler but stayed well on the Flat. |

Two wins on the Flat and a good juvenile hurdler two seasons ago, including winning the Grade 2 Adonis at Kempton; no match for Daddy Long Legs at Punchestown and down the field in the Ascot Stakes; others preferred. |

9st 3lb |
Grade 1 placed as a juvenile hurdler in April 2023 and won a 1m6f Flat handicap at the Curragh that June; while his hurdles performances in December and this April were satisfactory, he appears to be much more interesting today away from soft ground (ran on good to firm just once, creditably) and with this new stamina test, which could be just his cup of tea. |

Won at Kelso (2m2f, good to soft) in December on second stable start and followed up at Catterick (2m3f, good to soft); effective on soft ground on the Flat; stamina is the big question today for this Flat-bred 6yo but she's finished well the last twice and will have strong claims if she stays. |

11st 5lb |
Ex-Irish mare who has been a bit up and down for Dan Skelton but did run well at Leicecster last time (2m4f, good to soft) given one notable mistake that she made; won't mind returning to further and off this mark she's entitled to have a major say. |

6th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 4f 25y Class 4 |

First three runs this season were solid, notably a win at Exeter (3m, good) in November followed by a close second over 2m4f at Cheltenham; disappointed at Hereford a week later, though, and pulled up on return from a two-month break 16 days ago, so now has something to prove; however, a bounce-back would not surprise. |

18th Feb 2026 2m 4f 11y Class 3 |

Won at Exeter (3m, good) in November on second stable start before close second of 15 to Party Vibes at Cheltenham (2m4f, good to soft) in December; her run at Hereford seven days later may have come too soon (3m1f, soft; ground shouldn't have been an issue); remains of interest for top yard. |

Ex-Irish; market support proved misguided on his third and fourth British starts, which he followed with 25-1 win at Pontefract (1m, good to soft) three weeks ago, coming from last in a nine-runner race; back up 7lb, still well treated on his old Irish form. |
