Had this rider aboard when scoring at Naas nine days ago, with Considering back in third; worth considering; first reserve. |

Step in the right direction at Bellewstown recently (1m4f, soft); drop in trip could suit. |

Competitive but below best form in two claimers this summer for current yard and then tailed off in a 2m2f handicap at Down Royal; others appeal more. |

11st 4lb |
Very smart when at his best on the Flat but doesn't look the force of old and pulled up here in June on handicap debut over hurdles. |

8th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
11st 12lb |
Makes handicap hurdle debut looking well treated on best Flat form, albeit with recent evidence (including under this code) suggesting he's not the force of old. |

15th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Smart at his best on the Flat; made low-key start to hurdling career during the winter but positives can be drawn from his fourth at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) in February and he ought to be better suited by the faster ground here. |

7th Sep 2024 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Runner-up twice in a row at Newcastle (7f/1m, AW) in March; not at his best in two turf starts this summer but his mark has eased 4lb as a result and his better AW record provides hope for a revival. |
25/1 |

8th Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 7f 16y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Runner-up twice in a row at Newcastle (7f/1m, AW) in March; handed tough assignment in Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot when back from a break (well beaten) but he's now just 1-17 on turf and others have more compelling credentials; wears a first-time tongue-tie. |

31st Dec 2024 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 1 |
9st 10lb |
High-class handicap form in 2023 and rounded off that campaign with two good runs in Listed company; absent for 398 days before a low-key run at Newcastle 25 days ago; subsequent wind op (his fourth) suggests there was more to that than just needing the outing and cheekpieces are now added (worn once in 2020); chance if back to his best but a point to prove for now. |

6th Dec 2024 Standard 1m 2f 42y Class 2 |
10st 0lb |
Very useful performer whose overall strike-rate is 7-21 (3-6 on AW); landed a major 1m2f handicap on turf (off 1lb lower) in 2023 and went close in Listed grade when last seen 13 months ago; market instructive on belated reappearance. |

9st 8lb |
Six wins on the AW for Hugo Palmer, four of them here including three over this trip; losing run up to 14, though, and despite some encouraging efforts he hasn't been able to exploit his sliding mark; others more solid. |

prominent, pushed along to lead over 1f out, soon ridden and headed, weakened final furlong |

2nd Mar 2023 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 2 |
8st 8lb |
Four wins around here for Hugo Palmer (three over this trip), but finished around 10l behind Chichester when making his stable debut after six months off at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) in January; fared little better when 11th of 13 at Wolverhampton (9.5f, Tapeta) last month; mark continues to slide but plenty to prove. |
