26th Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 10y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Last season over hurdles ended on a low note at this meeting; solid for most of this term, switched to fences for last five starts and winning twice in small fields; put firmly in his place in Grade 1 novice events over 2m4f here in February and particularly at Aintree last time, but this return to a handicap will also demand a career best. |

11st 7lb |
Experienced hurdler who won Grade 2 novice on chase debut at Ascot (2m3f, good to soft) in December and made it 2-4 over fences in warm little handicap at Exeter (2m1f, good) last time; ran well behind two of these in Grade 2 at Kempton in February but likely to be vulnerable in this company. |

11st 6lb |
Made successful return to hurdles at Lingfield (2m7f, soft) a year ago and finished third over the same C&D in December after ten months off; held at Wetherby (3m1f, good to soft) since, but that was in a better race; respected with conditions likely to be ideal. |

After two pull-ups over fences he won back hurdling at Lingfield 11 months ago (2m7f, soft; 5lb lower); wasn't far away there last month when giving the impression that race would bring him on; considered. |

Won by 8l at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft) in June but has struggled to get competitive since, and he's been pulled up the last twice. |

12th Nov 2024 Good 2m 7f 129y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Bounced back to form with emphatic hurdle win in refitted blinkers at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft; stays further) in June but three lesser efforts have followed and it's hard to know what to expect from him on this first chasing start since 2021. |

2nd Nov 2023 Soft 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |

Looks interesting on his best form last season including a close call at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft), but he has patchy record and his sole win was four years ago; probably best watched back from 234 days off. |

Yet to make any further progress since winning at Doncaster (2m3f, good) in January but gave very good account before fading into fifth at Kempton (2m5f, good; first-time tongue-tie) ten days ago and has each-way claims at least if in similar form here. |

Took big step back in right direction when 40-1 third at Leicester (1m7f, heavy) last month but has generally been very disappointing since returning from long absence in October 2024; has first-time blinkers added to cheekpieces today; tongue-tie removed; others preferred. |

Promising novice hurdler for Olly Murphy during 2021-22 season but, following a long absence, has been unplaced in three handicap hurdles for new stable this term; ran well for a long way at Haydock (2m3f, heavy) on second occasion but was tailed off last time; sports first-time cheekpieces for chasing debut; the others all have much less to prove. |
