2nd Jul 2023 Good To Soft 3m 1f 83y Class 4 |
11st 8lb |
Inconsistent and he was a mid-race faller in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Hexham a fortnight ago; however, prior to that he was a good third at Newcastle (2m7f, good) and is capable of being thereabouts. |

Bumper winner; 0-5 over hurdles but placed on both starts in handicaps on heavy/good to soft; should go well again but suspicion that one or two others may be better treated. |

9th May 2024 Good 3m 1f 10y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
4-23 over hurdles, with all her wins on good ground over shorter; the latest (last May) was her only win since 2021 but she was short-headed at Perth (3m on soft) last September and not disgraced two months ago when back from a 12-week break; capable of being thereabouts. |

Creditable second on soft ground at Perth in September (3m) but all her wins have been on good ground; on fair mark now but probably needs the ground to dry out. |

On a slippery slope since winning a maiden hurdle for previous connections and has pulled up in both starts (hurdle/chase) since returning from a long absence. |

22nd Apr 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 5y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Below best over hurdles this season and has made inauspicious start to chasing career this spring; seems versatile regarding ground but is yet to convince stamina-wise over 3m; not the percentage call. |
10/1 |

8th Apr 2023 Heavy 2m 4f 216y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Both hurdle wins gained on soft; not at his best this season and finished some way behind Kap Chidley when both made their chasing debuts at Chepstow last month; work to do, therefore. |

Won a soft-ground handicap hurdle here 13 months ago off a 4lb higher mark; hasn't found his best form this season though and now tried his hand over fences. |

20th May 2023 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 5 |
11st 0lb |
Made an encouraging handicap debut when third over C&D (good to soft) in February but he didn't get very far at Fontwell next time and was pulled up at Wincanton (15-8 favourite) in March; should still have potential but he needs to get back on track after a short break. |

Verdict
The step up in trip could be a firm plus for the lightly raced 8yo BARNABAS COLLINS and he’s taken to open his hurdling account. Mount South was a promising third at Uttoxeter on last month’s handicap debut and is next on the list, ahead of Headscarf Lil and Nikgarde.[Ben Hutton]
