27th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 0y Class 4 |
10st 12lb |
Fairly useful Flat-racer who is 2-6 over hurdles; pulled up in soft-ground Newbury handicap 33 days ago but has claims if judged on his close second off today's mark there (2m, good) three weeks earlier. |

25th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 2f 183y Class 3 |

Juvenile hurdler who has performed well in 2m handicaps the last twice, winning at Huntingdon then close second here; Flat record suggests he'll stay this longer distance; possibilities off a low weight. |

4th Mar 2023 Good 2m 0f 69y Class 3 |

Won the first and latest of his four races over hurdles, latterly on his handicap hurdle debut at Huntingdon (2m, good); raised 6lb but may well have more to offer. |

Went close in Grade 1 juvenile hurdle two seasons ago for previous yard; couple of encouraging handicap efforts (2m1f/2m3f) since returning from lengthy absence; could have a race of this nature in him. |

Yet to add to his juvenile hurdle win in 2022 and has not shown a great deal on two appearances for new stable this spring (2m4f/2mf); swaps blinkers for first-time visor here. |

5th Jun 2025 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |

Record of 1-18 over hurdles; fair third at Ffos Las in January (2m4f, soft) but well beaten over same trip here after a break on stable debut last time; blinkers and tongue-tie back on (no improvement last time he wore them); others stronger. |

29th Sep 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Has some useful Irish Flat form on his CV and is 2-6 over hurdles since joining Dan Skelton, the latter win gained in C&D handicap ten weeks ago (made all); seemed to enjoy the run of the race that day but could still have a biggger performance in him. |

20th Jul 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Again jumped to the left but still beaten on merit in a C&D novice latest (good); no wriggle room off 7lb higher mark than for his previous three-runner Warwick handicap win, but still unexposed enough to do better. |

5th Jul 2023 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Finished behind Myristica three starts ago but has run well in two handicaps since, comfortably beating two rivals at Warwick five weeks ago; likely to improve further and looks one for the shortlist. |

16th Sep 2024 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Quirky customer who doesn't tend to find much when it matters and is placed far more often than he wins; ran well when third at Market Rasen (2m7f, good) last month and remains on a workable mark, but is very frustrating. |

10st 7lb |
0-7 on the Flat and 0-5 as a jumper; ran okay when first-time visored in a selling handicap two runs ago but then finished tailed off at Worcester; worth a go in blinkers as when tried once before he was under 5l away on the Flat. |

5th Jul 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Maiden; well held when third at Cartmel on handicap debut five weeks ago (in a visor, retained); that was a seller but it still represented a step forward; could be involved. |

31st May 2023 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |

Showed no more than minor promise in three juvenile hurdles during the winter but ran okay on the Flat this month (first-time cheekpieces) and now makes his handicap debut from a lowly mark; tried in a visor this time; no surprise if he features. |

Down the field in 2m AW handicap last week but he was competitive off this sort of mark during the winter and booking Sean Bowen is a statement of intent; should go well, for all that slower ground would be preferred. |

28th May 2025 Standard To Slow 1m 7f 218y Class 5 |

Best known as a soft-ground hurdler these days and ran well on a few occasions in that sphere during the winter; has only beaten one rival in three starts on the AW, though, so best watched unless the market suggests otherwise. |

Well beaten on soft ground on last three starts; has won on such going previously but maybe better ground is preferable and he's just 1lb higher than when winning at Southwell (2m4f, good) last April; not written off. |

23rd Apr 2025 Good 2m 7f 171y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
His last four outings have seen him runner-up twice and pulled up twice; that makes him 2-14 over hurdles, with the two wins early in 2023 before he went handicapping; no problems with trip or ground but he does not appear the most reliable proposition on this switch to chasing. |

Only fourth at Hereford (2m5f, good to soft) recently and she's untested at this trip; however, she kept on for a fair third at Hereford (2m3f, soft) two starts ago and this lightly raced 6yo is not ruled for her good yard. |

Verdict
After his disappointing British debut, there have to be doubts about BO ZENITH but he is given the chance to put the record straight. Penna Rossa, Jikala and hurdling newcomer Allihies look the main threats, in that order of preference.[Jonathan Neesom]
