24th Sep 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
10st 2lb |
Returned from layoff with two good efforts over fences last autumn but the rest of last season's chasing form was disappointing; now hurdling for first time since 2023; on good mark (even from 2lb out of the weights) but needs to have refreshed by latest break. |

Returned from break with two good seconds in the autumn (2m/2m1f), but has lost his way a bit since and is unraced on ground quicker than good to soft (withdrawn from a recent engagement with good deemed unsuitable). |

Sole win came at Kelso (2m5f, soft) in November 2023 off 3lb lower mark; pulled up when last seen in March last year but wind surgery and the subsequent break may have helped. |

5th Jan 2024 Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 5 |
11st 2lb |
Well handicapped on last season's hurdle form and he was a fair fourth on his chase debut here in November; however, he was disappointing when back over hurdles at Newcastle three weeks ago and the first-time tongue-tie needs to be the catalyst for a return to form. |

Some fair efforts earlier this year among his first few handicap hurdles (including on heavy), and likewise on last month's chase and seasonal debut; returns to hurdles on a reduced mark and could be involved. |

2nd Jun 2023 Good 2m 7f 70y |
11st 8lb |
Losing run goes back to a Musselburgh bumper success in 2020; however, performed with credit in two races at Ayr at the start of the year and it was an encouraging return from a four-month break at Punchestown last week when fourth of 16; has struggled over this sort of trip previously though. |

Bumper winner who is 0-16 over hurdles but did finish second at Ayr (2m, soft) in February; seems to prefer those softer conditions. |

11st 3lb |
Longstanding maiden who was soundly beaten at Newcastle last time in a first-time hood (retained); however, he's run pretty well on both previous visits to Musselburgh and the tongue-tie is back on today, which he wore when a fair fourth over C&D (good to soft) in November; interesting contender. |

10st 5lb |
Came good at 32nd attempt, from just out of the weights in Perth chase (3m, good) ten days ago; has run well here (albeit over hurdles) and is still unexposed over staying trips; no surprise if he features. |

Has 0-31 strike-rate and is 2lb wrong today but ran quite well when upped to 3m over hurdles at Ayr (soft; also suited by good) in March and remains unexposed over this trip; back over fences today; not ruled out. |

Down the field on first two starts and pulled up in C&D novice and maiden hurdles the last twice; a transformation is needed in a first-time tongue-tie on handicap debut. |

5th Jan 2024 Soft 2m 7f 138y Class 5 |

Won off this mark over hurdles at Perth (3m, good to soft) last April; the first-time cheekpieces may help him jump better but that's very much necessary following sizeable defeats this season on his first two chase runs. |
