19th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Creditable sixth in Aintree Grade 2 bumper last April having dotted up at Hereford the time before; went very close in maiden hurdle back at Hereford (2m3f, soft) on sole outing this term; leading player provided he stays this new trip (mixed messages in pedigree). |

9th Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 5f 192y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Useful in bumpers last season and lost out only by a head in 15-runner Hereford maiden (2m3f, soft) on hurdle debut in December; that form aready sets a good standard here, and he ought to have a fair bit more to offer. |

2nd 13 |
21st Dec 2022 Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Narrowly beaten in a Wincanton bumper (solid level of form) before landing the odds in a canter here in February (2m bumper, soft); came up short in Grade 2 bumper at the Aintree Grand National meeting but should make into a fair hurdler (debut) on the basis of pedigree; noteworthy type. |

19th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |

Irish point winner; placed in both attempts over hurdles, latest at Exeter (2m5f, good to soft) behind an improving sort who subsequently performed well in Grade 2 event; holds solid form claims. |

2nd 3 |
1st Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 5f 137y Class 4 |

Easily won an Irish point in early 2022 and made promising hurdle debut when keeping-on third at Ffos Las (2m4f, soft) six weeks ago; should have a lot more to offer; leading contender. |

22nd Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 0lb |
Bought for £100,000 after winning a point in January and made his debut for this yard in a Punchestown bumper in April when he appeared to perform beneath market expectations (100-30); remains interesting. |

19th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Good-ground Irish point winner; not disgraced in two attempts over hurdles (2m3f/2m5f) and the way he finished last time suggests this 2m7f trip will suit; remains open to progress under rules. |

Showed clear promise in Irish point last May; suffered a heavy defeat in Uttoxeter novice hurdle (2m4f) on the switch to rules and needs to leave that bare form well behind. |

6th Dec 2022 Good To Soft 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |

Finished nicely for close second in Irish point (3m, good to yielding) in May; subsequently sold for 50,000gns; from a good family and looks open to progress under rules; one to consider. |

19th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Ex-French 5yo; twice raced in Britain, keeping on for second over 2m4f at Ffos Las then looking a non-stayer over 3m1f at Hereford (both on soft ground); this 2m7f trip may prove just the right fit; shortlisted. |
12/1 |

4th 7 |
21st Dec 2022 Soft 3m 1f 119y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Displayed promise on both starts in France in early part of this year and also when second to stablemate of Phantom Getaway on last month's British debut at Ffos Las (2m4f, soft); has possibilities if suited by the longer trip. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 7 |
25th Nov 2022 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
4yo who had two runs at Pau in France last winter; ran well for long way over hurdles on his debut and he backed that up with a promising second over fences (2m2f, both on very soft); now makes his British debut after 309 days off but yard is in good form and he's a key player back in this sphere. |

Appeared to run well (66-1 fourth) in 2m4f maiden hurdle at Cheltenham on New Year's Day; unseated rider mid-race at Exeter (2m5f) last time; frame possibilities granted a clear round. |

1st Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 5f 137y Class 4 |
11st 9lb |
Irish point winner; made the frame in good-ground Chepstow bumper on seasonal debut in October and has also showed clear promise on first two hurdling starts, more recently when keeping on for modest fourth in Cheltenham maiden (2m4f, good to soft) last month; each-way claims. |
7/1 |

4th 7 |
1st Jan 2023 Good 2m 4f 56y Class 2 |

Irish maiden point winner; while he's shown some ability in two bumpers and a Hexham novice hurdle (last of three), this race demands much more. |

19th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Expensive to follow having been a beaten favourite in four of his five runs since bumper win, latest on chase debut four months ago; somewhat risky but first-time cheekpieces may do the trick and he certainly has the ability to win a race of this nature (hurdles form stacks up well). |

Point/bumper winner who was placed on all four starts at up to 2m7f over hurdles last season; goes chasing with a tongue-tie tried on first run after a wind operation; good chance. |

Disappointing at Wincanton (2m5f) the last twice; ran well over C&D (good to soft) in December, finishing third to a stablemate who has since bagged Grade 2 honours; interesting on that best effort. |

Reasonably consistent form in four runs, finishing second when the market leader at Wetherby (2m3f, good) latest; pedigree suggests he may improve for this longer distance; not without a chance. |

15th Feb 2023 Good 2m 3f 154y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Fair third in a warm bumper at Wincanton (1m7f, good to soft) last March and, although he was a soundly beaten fifth of 15 on his hurdle debut at Chepstow (2m3f, good to soft) in December, it wasn't a bad performance and he's in good hands to progress; he's in calculations. |
