Half-brother to useful jumper St Barts (RPR 135); dam a bumper/2m5f hurdle winner (107), herself from a good jumping family; stable always to be feared in bumpers and he's an interesting newcomer. |

19th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Sent off at 14-1 for his debut at Plumpton in December where he came from off the pace to finish second of the 11 runners (2m1f, soft); that form now looks very tasty by the track's standards, with the winner giving a very good account in the Champion Bumper and the third and fourth (twice) also successful since; open to improvement and he's the one to beat. |

Three runs in Irish points, finishing fourth on each occasion; he's joined a respected yard for his rules debut and he's well worth a market check. |

Kept on for third in an Irish mares' maiden point in November; sold for £60,000 the following month; yard operating at a 19% strike-rate in bumpers this season; one to consider. |

11st 5lb |
Sent off favourite for his debut here in October and ran well for second of the 12 runners; couldn't build on it at Wincanton on Boxing Day but that form has some substance and he's open to further progress; each-way claims if handling the slower ground. |

took keen hold, in touch with leaders, headway and pressed leader 4f out, soon shaken up to lead, ridden 2f out, headed 1f out, keeping on when short of room against near rail and switched left towards finish |

£14,500 3yo; dam a 2m3f hurdle winner (RPR 125) from the family of high-class staying chaser Shotgun Willy; likely one for a greater test of stamina down the line. |

Fell in both his runs in Irish points around the turn of the year but showed clear signs of ability, still holding every chance when coming down at the last nine weeks ago; one to note for market confidence. |

19th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Half-brother to high-class stayer Any Second Now; pulled up in a point on his debut last April; clear promise in a dramatic bumper over C&D last month, staying on when hampered by a faller in the final furlong; open to improvement but it may not be until his stamina is more fully tested that he flourishes. |

Half-brother to high-class chaser Any Second Now, who was placed in two Nationals; pulled up on point debut (7-1) but has joined Dan Skelton since and is worth a market check. |
