Point/hurdle winner; reappearance over hurdles was fine and he was only 9-2 for his handicap/chase debut at Taunton only to come down early; needs respecting. |

15th Dec 2023 Heavy 2m 4f 72y Class 5 |
12st 0lb |
Faded rather tamely in home straight at Lingfield (2m4f, good to soft) last month, after a break, and is now 0-5 over fences; on a tempting mark now and should be fine on today's ground but needs a good boost from the first-time cheekpieces. |

Chasing experiment has been shelved after failing to complete the last three times (pulled up latest); return to hurdles may prove beneficial but there is a question mark over her current form. |

26th Jul 2024 Good 1m 7f 214y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Reportedly unsuited by the good to soft ground when well beaten over hurdles here last month but his second over hurdles here (2m4f, good) two starts ago was a pretty good effort, and he reverts to chasing on a good mark; dangerous to ignore. |
5/1 |

30th Jun 2024 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Made the frame in three of his four races since returning from long layoff this spring, most recently when keeping-on second over C&D (good) 24 days ago; probably won't be far away but others appeal more. |

6th Jun 2024 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Has won a bumper, a novice handicap hurdle and a novice handicap chase, all at around 2m on good ground; fair third in a handicap hurdle at Fakenham in April when back from a 403-day break (2m4f, good; first run after win surgery); wouldn't rule out. |

28th Jan 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Not beaten that far when seventh here (3m2f) on stable debut in November and has become very well handicapped on older form, but fell when last in action and his current ability is tricky to assess. |

5th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 4f 199y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Not easy to predict but runner-up at Chepstow last January over hurdles (near 3m, soft) and last February over fences (2m3f, heavy); may have needed his reappearance six weeks ago and he's a contender if back on song. |
7/1 |

25th Nov 2022 Soft 2m 3f 83y Class 3 |
10st 9lb |
7yo who is not easy to predict but he bettered disappointing chase debut when creditable second at Chepstow (2m3f, heavy) in February; goes back up in grade after 272 days off but that latest form has been well advertised by the third since and he needs watching in the market. |

24th Feb 2024 Heavy 3m 2f 54y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Gained all three wins on heavy ground at Ffos Las (2m-2m6f); safely held in cheekpieces and then a visor on her last two hurdling starts (2m4f/2m); tries a new trip and sports first-time blinkers on this return to chasing; too well handicapped to rule out but needs to turn a corner. |

Betting Forcast
7/4 Mahon Point, 4/1 Lady Of The Night, 7/1 Charlies Glance, 16/1 Diomede Des Mottes, 7/1 Caswell Bay, 5/1 Rock Of Star, 6/1 Pageant Material
Verdict
Rock Of Star wasn’t far away in fourth when he came down two out on his chase debut at Chepstow last month and has claims if his confidence hasn’t been dented by that fall. Lady Of The Night is on a dangerous mark and could be a big factor if she can get her act together again but the one that appeals most is Fergal O’Brien’s MAHON POINT. This point/hurdle winner has a progressive five-race profile and is an interesting contender on his handicap/chase debut.[David Moon]
