Third runner for yard; three-time hurdle winner went close in 2m4f Ascot Stakes off 93 last June; stayed on for midfield finish in Irish Cesarewitch here in September; finished well when close third in 2m Naas handicap in October; this trip is on the short side. |

Last year's winner from 8lb lower went close in the Ascot Stakes off 93 in June (2m4f, good to firm); ran better than his finishing position suggested in the Petingo premier handicap when he was interfered with at the start; stayed on in the Irish Cesarewitch last time but was never near enough to challenge; can go well with a clear run. |

2nd 10 |
27th Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 1 |
10st 12lb |
Placed in all three starts over hurdles in France and is 2-2 for this yard after breezing home at Hereford and digging deep at Aintree (both on good to soft; tongue tied latterly); probably has to find something on the form of that latest Listed success against her own sex but that's perfectly feasible. |

Placed in all three starts over hurdles in France (1m7f-2m1f, Auteuil; very soft/heavy), twice finishing ahead of Isaline De Chandou who has improved in the meantime; breezed home at long odds-on at Hereford (2m, good to soft) despite not jumping great and she clearly has an engine. |

Won a Hamilton handicap for Stuart Coltherd in September (1m5f, good to soft); subsequently changed yards and promising third over 2m here on stable debut after a break last week (good); should improve on that but yet to prove he is as effective at this trip. |

Won twice over hurdles in 2022-23; has changed stables three times since and perhaps best watched after a break on debut for latest new trainer, although is well handicapped now. |

9th Dec 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 68y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Front-runner who won on chase debut at Hexham (1m7f, good) in October and has run well in second the next twice (2m/1m7f, good to soft/good); he's fine at this trip (and on a variety of ground) and was effective here over hurdles; can make another bold bid. |

Winning hurdler who has taken well to fences, beating Caithness by a head over C&D on debut last month before fair second off this 4lb higher mark at Carlisle (2m, good to soft); should go well again. |

Flat form took off again last winter with the switch to AW, winning three in a row before his creditable third at Newcastle on finals day, all over 2m; ran respectably on turf in April on latest outing; each-way claims. |

18th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 1m 6f 34y Class 2 |

Reserve; won three in a row over 2m on AW early this year; has run well in defeat the last twice, most recently travelling well when finishing fifth back on turf at Newbury (2m, good to soft); he may benefit from this drop back in distance and could give a good account. |

14th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 4m 2f 8y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
Won twice as a novice last season and ended up in the National Hunt Chase at Cheltenham (tailed off after racing freely); this campaign is going well and he should stay okay as he wasn't stopping when runner-up over Exeter's super-stiff 3m6f in December (soft); the race he won at Wincanton last time (3m1f, heavy; cheekpieces returned) rather fell apart but he did hack up and the 6lb rise could been a whole lot worse; it's a nagging concern that all five wins have been on right-handed tracks but there's lots to like otherwise about this 7yo. |

29th Jan 2026 Heavy 3m 1f 30y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Dual chase winner who goes well in the mud and he could have done with slower ground when a 6l third over C&D on Boxing Day (good to soft); entitled to step up on that effort here and enters the reckoning. |

11th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 3m 5f 201y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Scored at Exeter (3m, good to soft) in October on second attempt over fences and brushed two lesser efforts aside with a game, front-running win in first-time cheekpieces at Taunton (2m7f, soft) five weeks ago; up 4lb but stays 3m well and could have more to offer. |

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. |

25th Apr 2026 Good 3m 4f 146y Class 1 |
10st 11lb |
A rising force in the last 15 months and that's gained serious momentum in his last two starts, when winning easily by 7l at Newbury (extended 2m7f, good to soft) and 5l in the Sussex National at Plumpton (3m5f, good); strong-travelling sort who's now seeing out his races really well too; up another 10lb but could still have more in the locker. |

Won over C&D (good) last March and reappeared with creditable third of 16 at Windsor (3m4f, soft) in January; bounced back from lesser run with convincing win at Newbury (2m7f, good to soft) last month and this progressive 7yo may be able to take a 9lb rise in his stride. |

Fine return to action when close third over 3m4f at Windsor (soft; handles good) in January, but he was a bit disappointing over this C&D next time and needs to bounce back. |

26th Aug 2023 Good To Firm 1m 5f 188y Class 2 |
9st 9lb |
Ex-Aidan O'Brien; has seen more action for current yard, mostly in a hurdles campaign but he's also made advances on the Flat; 10-1 for a five-runner Group 3 over C&D (good to soft, unraced on firmer than good) on latest start and he gave the odds-on favourite Hamish a scare, just in front of Tashkhan; up 3lb but he's a rising force. |

2nd 3 (1) |
15th Jul 2023 Good 1m 5f 188y Class 1 |
9st 0lb |
Useful turf form for Aidan O'Brien; better when winning a 1m4f AW handicap in late December, in the midst of a higher-profile hurdles campaign; held up from wide draw in handicap at Royal Ascot and never got into it, probably running creditably; others in this Group 3 field have better form but he's considered for second. |
16/1 |

20th Jun 2023 Good 1m 6f 34y Class 2 |
9st 11lb |
Promise at up to 1m2f during short Flat career for Aidan O'Brien; all but one of his runs for this yard have been over hurdles (won juvenile Grade 2), the exception a 1m4f AW win last December; this is tougher but he may have untapped potential at 1m6f; handles good/soft, unraced on good to firm. |

Won hurdle races on very soft ground in France and a 3yo race on good at Huntingdon; ran moderately back from a break last time but did go close at Uttoxeter the time before (2m4f); could go well, though stamina for this far is unproven. |

351 days off before two runs this autumn, on second occasion showing he stays 2m4f when runner-up at Uttoxeter; he'll need a bit extra to win this, though. |
