Won a maiden hurdle at Cartmel almost two years ago; not much encouragement from two runs on the Flat this season. |

21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
10st 4lb |
0-12 over hurdles; ran well when fourth at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft) last month but was not seen to same effect over 2m7f there a fortnight later; drops back in trip and swaps cheekpieces for first-time blinkers. |

Remains winless but cheekpieces back on when a good fourth of 15 in 2m4f handicap here 15 days ago; shortlisted with the headgear again sported. |

7th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 5 |

Placed off 1lb higher here (2m, good) last June and might have needed last month's reappearance run (tailed off before last-flight fall) but he's 0-10 over hurdles now and and others appeal more; cheekpieces refitted. |

Bumper winner was a course winner over hurdles in 2023; won a handicap at Perth last month but was below form there since; needs to find more on handicap debut. |

16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Headed here last month with much to prove but bounced back for a first handicap success by just under 3l (2m4f, good; raced prominently); 5lb higher with a different 7lb claimer enlisted and has to be considered. |

2-5 in Irish points but his slow-ground win in March came in a match race and he was well beaten when last in action; also struggled on last year's hurdling debut; tongue-tie refitted today; others look safer. |

13th May 2026 Good 1m 3f 188y Class 4 |
8st 10lb |
Form figures of 5075 at this meeting in the last four years; one win a season had previously appeared his quota but he's already exceeded that in 2026, having scored at Pontefract (1m4f/1m2f) on last two outings; that demands some respect but this race is a higher grade. |
10/1 |

1st 2 (2) |
29th Apr 2026 Good 1m 2f 5y Class 5 |
9st 8lb |
Four-time Flat winner, including C&D, who has been all or nothing since scoring over hurdles at Cartmel in July; three AW no-shows followed good second over C&D (soft; 40-1) in October but market support predicted a going day when scoring here (1m4f, good to soft) three weeks ago; might not want the ground to get too quick but otherwise a key player under 2lb nudge. |
5/4 |

1st 5 (4) |
7th Apr 2026 Good To Soft 1m 4f 5y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Now 5lb lower than when second here (1m2f, soft) last October but did not emerge from the rear division when a big-priced outsider for all three subsequent AW runs; considered only if much strong in betting today. |

Has produced a couple of fair efforts in defeat, including a 10l third over C&D in this headgear combination in December 2024, but subsequent runs were disappointing; returns from a lengthy absence with major questions to answer. |

6th Aug 2023 Good 2m 0f 125y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Fair on the Flat in his prime but has a lowly mark in that sphere nowadays; ran well to a point on last month's hurdling debut at Uttoxeter (2m, heavy) and might last longer on today's faster ground but others appeal more all the same. |

Unplaced in 14 Flat runs and he didn't get very far on his recent hurdling debut at Cartmel (unseated at first); opposable. |

Competitive Flat form at a low level; twice placed over hurdles at Cartmel for this yard and can play a significant role here. |

26th Aug 2023 Soft 2m 1f 46y Class 4 |

took keen hold, raced in fourth, headway and went second before 3rd, chased clear leader after 2 out, no impression run-in, weakened final 110yds |
9/2 |
Verdict
City Vaults was placed over C&D on his hurdling debut and useful Flat-racer Lightening Company remains open to significant improvement over hurdles but this might be fought out by two of the Irish raiders. Duleek Street has made the frame at Downpatrick on all three hurdling starts and is not opposed lightly but INVICTUS WORLD ran well for a long way when fourth in a stronger race than this at that track in May and might be the answer.[Chris Wilson]
