Close up when placed in two run-of-the-mill handicap hurdles this season (2m2f/2m) but he's 0-12 in this sphere now and his two Flat runs in September were disappointing; needs to raise his game. |

9st 10lb |
Beat today's rival The Banger Doyle in a 1m6f maiden at Killarney in 2023; a long time since his last Flat outing; however, he comes here in good shape after an emphatic win in a 2m handicap hurdle at this venue in May. |

Back to form with 1.75l front-running second over C&D on penultimate off this mark; never travelled and didn't jump well when poor at Wexford last time; cheekpieces replace blinkers; could rebound back at this venue. |

Flat winner was successful over hurdles at Limerick in December 2024 off 7lb higher; moderate recent form until a change of tactics almost saw him make all at Tramore (2m1f, good to yielding) when headed late home in this headgear combination; could go one better if adopting the same tactics. |

10st 6lb |
Two Sandown wins in 2025 at 1m and 1m2f (good and good to firm; acts on soft) under David Dunsdon; recent AW defeats can be glossed over and he's weighted to go well; one of the stronger options. |

Dual Sandown winner last summer (1m, 1m2f), latterly off 5lb lower, who stays a deal further; 66-1 when only having stablemate Good Speed behind on his C&D comeback last month and may need some help from the handicapper. |

His only win (17 races) came in April 2023 at Windsor; can race freely and makes his first start in seven months; has raced on AW only twice and has the assistance of Oisin Murphy for the first time; difficult to gauge but any market move should be noted. |

Fair form over hurdles last season, running okay when fourth on handicap debut at Musselburgh (2m1f, good to soft) in March; subsequent Flat efforts nothing to get excited about but he arrrives fit for this hurdle reappearance and may have more to give in this sphere. |

9st 6lb |
Very solid record in 2024 on turf but 592 days off before this season; beaten a long way on his return (his only AW race) and not so far next time but he still has major work to do to turn things around. |

Beaten a long way on his return from 20 months off at Kempton (2m, AW) 16 days ago and still 6lb above his last winning mark; needs the ground to dry out. |

Finally off the mark in Britain in May 2024 and runner-up on next four starts, including when coming from well back over 2m4f at Glorious Goodwood; however, he flopped when just 9-1 for the Cesarewitch (soft) that October and not seen since; that was his only run in Britain on softer than good; well handicapped were he to return at his best on this AW debut after 588 days off; market may guide. |

9st 10lb |
Seen almost twice as often on the AW but had an impressive win on good to firm last August; did well over 2m on AW last winter, notably for an easy Kempton win, but he failed to fire in an AW Championships race next time and finished last in the Chester Cup in May latest; very mixed messages. |
40/1 |

10th May 2024 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 2 |
8st 12lb |
Seen twice as often on the AW but had an impressive win on good to firm last August; does not always fire, for instance in AW Championships race at Newcastle on latest outing, but he looks good on his day and the ease of his 2m win on Kempton AW in February can't be forgotten (6lb higher today); this unusual test might just take his fancy. |

Mainly seen on the AW these days, but he did win three times on turf as a 3yo; interesting to see how he fares in the market on debut for Tony Carroll (same owner). |

2nd May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
9st 1lb |
Recorded his tenth win when scoring at Wolverhampton (2m, Tapeta) in January; held his form with creditable efforts in next three starts but his good spell came to a halt at Lingfield last month; has bit to prove again after that heavy defeat and his last turf win was in 2022. |

Three course wins have come over 1m4f, but he has won over this sort of trip elsewhere; finished half a length behind St Faz when third of four at Southwell (1m6f, Tapeta) and now 11lb better off; each-way claims. |
