15th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
10st 8lb |
Inconsistent and Harry Skelton rides stablemate L'Eau Du Sud, but he's just 2lb higher than when winning this last year (soft) and went very close off this mark in the Imperial Cup at Sandown (2m, soft) last Saturday, when perhaps in front longer than ideal (wandered a little); firmly in calculations. |

He has an in-and-out profile but is now just 2lb higher than when winning the County Hurdle at last season's Cheltenham Festival (2m1f, soft), and he was an encouraging fifth of 21 in the Betfair Hurdle at Newbury (2m, heavy) last month; Harry Skelton rides; in the shake-up if he's on a going day. |

Dual-purpose; very capable hurdler on his day; was beaten when falling when last sighted at Punchestown in a race won by Aspire Tower; last showed some spark when third in the 2024 County Hurdle and he is again entered in that race (and the Coral Cup); entitled to win this on ratings but he might need the run. |

High-class hurdler had been mixing it at the top level over fences this season at shorter trips before third chase win when dropped in grade at Ayr 10 days ago, patiently ridden and seeing the 3m out well when giving away lumps of weight in novice handicap; drying ground should help his cause and not one to rule out. |

Top-class hurdler who has shown a good level of form over fences, banging his head against a wall in Grade 1s in his last four appearances; finished fourth in last season's County Hurdle in his last handicap assignment and that was off an 8lb higher mark; may run well, though stamina could be an issue on this belated first run beyond 2m4f. |

Top weight when second from the rear in this last year, following fifth in the County at this meeting in 2022 and 2023; won a small-field conditions event at Christmas on sole start this term; brings a proud record but without that many wins and he's probably vulnerable off 4lb higher than last year. |

Won easily at Ascot (1m7f, good) earlier this season and showed that he can live with his new mark when faring best of those in here who contested the County Hurdle at Cheltenham (good to soft); did well to finish sixth after forcing the pace throughout (as is his way) and easy to see him going well. |

Usually claimer ridden but now has Harry Cobden; the last of her ten wins was in August 2022; still shows plenty on occasions, including when seventh in the Pertemps Final last March and a close second back at Cheltenham (2m4f, good) three starts back; pulled up with cheekpieces enlisted on latest start; that headgear is now discarded but she's not the percentage call. |

Not as good as he was but has produced solid back-to-back efforts the last twice over 2m7f and 2m4f; good chance of being involved. |

9yo who is nothing like the force of old and is without a win since June 2022, but he seems to have found his current level judged on his near-miss at Musselburgh (2m7f, good to soft) last month; the first/third have both won since and this drop back in trip may be a plus; could be in the mix provided the absence of his usual tongue-tie isn't an issue. |

27th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 2m 3f 200y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
2021 was his year, following his third in the County with victory in the Scottish Champion Hurdle and then finishing second in the Galway Hurdle; dangerously treated on all that but last season fizzled out and he wants good ground ideally. |

22nd Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
On fire in 2021, following his third in the County with victory in this and then finishing second in the Galway Hurdle; dangerously treated on all that and forget his Cheltenham flop last month as soft ground was the last thing he needed (hood tried there also dispensed with); could be a player if there's not too much rain. |

17th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 0f 179y Class 1 |
11st 0lb |
Fine third in this race in 2021 (good to soft) before winning the Scottish Champion Hurdle (2m, good) and finishing second in the Galway Hurdle (2m, good); on those runs he's on a handy mark and he's better than he's shown on his last two starts; his each-way claims are likely to hinge on the ground, as a soft surface would be a probable negative; wears a first-time hood. |

11st 12lb |
Third in last season's Grand Annual and the 2m4f of the Plate looked a step too far at this year's festival; stuck on a tough mark but back over the right trip he's entitled to have some say. |

13th Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 127y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Two good chase runs here, finishing a close third in the Grand Annual (2m, soft) last March and scraping home in a novice (good) in October; however, although he won a 3m Irish point early in career he's never been beyond 2m2f under rules and that trip was attempted only once; this is a tough race in which to test the stamina waters; regular cheekpieces discarded. |

2-19 over hurdles; has taken well to chasing, winning five-runner races at Huntingdon (2m, good to soft) and Kempton (2m2f, good); in front when left clear before last fence on latest start; will need another personal best to complete a hat-trick but he clearly commands respect. |

Won a claimer at Dundalk (10.6f) in October and he stayed on well for fourth here (1m6f) on his stable debut the following month; has each-way claims on that form but this 9yo is not easy to predict and was well held back over hurdles last time; risks attached. |
