8th Dec 2023 Soft 2m 3f 173y Class 1 |
11st 2lb |
Bumper winner (2m, soft) who scored easily on his hurdle debut at Warwick (2m5f, good) in October and followed up at Aintree (2m4f, soft); goes up in grade and his regular rider Jamie Neild can't claim his usual 7lb, but he's clearly thriving and his stable continues in fine form; contender. |

11th Nov 2023 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Jumped well and scored impressively on hurdling debut at Warwick (2m5f, good; by 19l) five weeks ago; that's the best hurdles form in this contest and he had previously seemed to revel in the mud when winning a big-field bumper at Kempton in the spring; yard won this race in 2019; solid claims. |

Closely related to bumper winner Bellatio and half-brother to four winners, notably the stable's bumper and top-class 2m-2m2f hurdle/chase winner Altior; dam bumper/2m1f hurdle winner; makes obvious paper appeal. |
