27th Dec 2024 Good 3m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 6lb |
Two 3m1f hurdle wins last midwinter but he's not the most predictable and can look an awkward ride; has shown promise over fences this season but he was pulled up at Cheltenham (in first-time cheekpieces; now replaced with blinkers) 13 days ago; no solid option. |

0-2 in bumpers and now 0-7 over hurdles, having been turned over at odds-on in two of his last three races; travels well but seems very one paced when it matters. |

Runner-up three times, latterly in a soft-ground maiden here last month; returns to this level after finishing midfield in the Imperial Cup (lost a shoe); major form claims in the new cheekpieces. |

15th Jan 2025 Soft 2m 4f 194y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Won a 2m soft-ground handicap hurdle by 10l here last March; his jumping lacked fluency so did well to go so close on chase debut at Sandown (1m7f, soft) and conditions were extremely testing when fourth at Haydock; massive shout on that penultimate effort. |

21st Dec 2024 Soft 2m 0f 67y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Lightly raced 6yo who showed improved form when winning a handicap hurdle by 10l at Hereford (2m, soft) in March, and he reappeared with a promising second on his chase debut at Sandown (1m7f, soft); there's room for improvement in his jumping and he could play a leading role. |

23rd Sep 2024 Good 3m 3f 9y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Mostly in good form since stepped up to 3m+ and the saddle slipped when pulled up two runs back; did run flat at Worcester though and that casts a cloud over his credentials. |
7/1 |
9th 2 |
19th Aug 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
In great form since stepping up to 3m+ under rules and having cheekpieces fitted this year (3-5); pulled up after saddle slipped at Uttoxeter last month and should be a player off 4lb higher mark than when winning at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) in June. |

26th Jul 2024 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
In great form since stepping up to 3m+ under rules and having cheekpieces introduced this year (3-4); recorded a personal best when making all at Newton Abbot (3m2f, good) last month and, off a 4lb higher mark, should run well again. |

11st 5lb |
Beginning to look exposed after six hurdle starts but ran a big race before weakening into third in Bangor handicap (2m7f, good) in May and has a good chance at the weights here; had wind op in June; tongue-tie added. |

Pulled up at Plumpton (2m4f, good) in March but back on song when running well for a long way at Ffos Las (2m4f, good) this month; remains relatively unexposed and has potential over this longer trip. |

Showed no significant promise during five-race hurdling spell last April-July and is 8lb out of the weights for today's chasing debut; sports first-time blinkers; can't be recommended. |

Verdict
The 5yo GOONHILLY impressed paddock watchers ahead of going close on his debut at Hereford and, now with the Skeltons, he should go on to better things. Beachcomber, Intimate and Townhill can make their presence felt, but the main danger could be Tregele, who is a half-brother to smart bumper winner Ernest Gray.[Alistair Jones]
