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 |
10st 3lb |
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. |

13th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 209y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Beat a notable rival on sole French start; 2-3 in Britain, the wins gained at Haydock (Victor Ludorum) and Stratford (easily) on good to soft; improving hurdler who'll be suited by this track and warrants respect. |

13th Mar 2023 Good To Soft 2m 2f 148y Class 3 |
11st 12lb |
His French win worked out really well and he bounced straight back from a quiet British debut to win the Victor Ludorum at Haydock (good to soft); held the Triumph entry until the latest forfeit stage and should be hard to beat. |

18th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 144y Class 2 |
11st 8lb |
Won on debut in France last April (1m7f, very soft) and that form has worked out very well; disappointing when 4-11 favourite on last month's British debut at Sandown (2m, soft) and something to prove after that, but remains of interest and his trainer won this last year. |

21st Nov 2024 Good To Soft 1m 7f 50y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Just one win from his 20 starts and he's inconsistent; however, he went very close in a big field on his stable debut at Exeter (2m, good) last month and looked to be stretched by an extended 2m3f at Huntingdon last time; not discounted now back down in trip. |

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. |
6/1 |

1st 9 |
20th Jul 2023 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
10st 13lb |
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. |

2nd 3 |
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. |

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. |

1-6 over hurdles with that win coming at Market Rasen (2m4f, good to soft; first-time tongue-tie) in March 2023 off 1lb lower; soundly beaten in two runs on the AW since returning from a lengthy absence and enough to prove now reverting to hurdles. |

Flat (1m2f) and hurdle (2m4f) winner who is well treated on his old form in Ireland but he was always behind on his recent return from a 529-day absence; needs to have come on a lot. |

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]
