10st 2lb |
Struggled (albeit on soft ground) when 33-1 for handicap debut over C&D five weeks ago and is effectively 8lb higher today, from out of the handicap. |

10st 5lb |
Modest point form in Ireland; soundly beaten in maiden hurdles at 2m and 2m3f but he goes handicapping off a very modest mark, even if 3lb out of the weights, so may do better. |

11st 5lb |
2-11 over hurdles, the latter win gained from the front at Fontwell (2m3f, good) in April; unseated rider at first fence on recent chasing debut but current mark ought to be workable if he avoids mishap; raced mainly on good/good to soft ground. |

10st 13lb |
2-11 over hurdles, the latter win gained from the front at Fontwell (2m3f, good) in April; not quite in same form when dropped back to 2m1f there in May and makes chase debut after three-month break but could have a say. |

Back in prime form when winning from the front here (2m3f, good) last month and now 2-10 over hurdles; recent 3lb rise certainly doesn't look excessive, and he ought to be right in the thick of things again. |

11st 12lb |
Absent and had further wind surgery since his ready win over C&D (good to soft) on Boxing Day when proving well suited by the step up from 2m and taking record to 4-7; progressive and remains particularly unexposed at this trip; looks an ideal type for this assignment. |

0-20 and mixed signals all season over what his present optimum trip might be; staying on but no chance with winner when second at Warwick latest (2m, good), and this contest looks a shade stronger. |

23rd Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 54y Class 5 |

Fifth of eight on all three starts under rules in a bumper and two maiden hurdles; evidently has some ability but handicaps are probably on the agenda after this. |

Landed his third success over fences at Ludlow (2m, good) last month after his challenger fell at the last obstacle; up 7lb but still on the upgrade and should not be far away. |

1-1 here, that win coming over C&D (good; 18-1) in November on his penultimate start; not beaten far when fourth of six at Doncaster (also about 2m, good to soft) the following month and he's another who is firmly in calculations. |

17th Oct 2026 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 5 |

Beaten in the region of 6l in similar races at Worcester and Southwell so has each-way claims, and the return of blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) is no bad thing. |
10/1 |

1st Oct 2026 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Four thirds over hurdles (from seven attempts) in the midst of his extensive Flat career; that includes off this mark behind Crafty Gael over nearly 3m at Worcester three weeks ago but he seemingly needs to find a bit extra to get off the mark in this sphere. |
9/2 |

3rd 1 |
10th Sep 2026 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |

Creditable third of 17 on handicap hurdle debut at Doncaster (2m, good) in January 2024; seen only twice over jumps since, latterly when safely held at Sedgefield (2m1f, good to firm) a fortnight ago, but stays well on the Flat so this new trip could suit. |

18th Oct 2026 Good 3m 5f 48y Class 2 |
10st 3lb |
Has stood up well to a busy current campaign, completing a five-timer (2m4f-3m, good) in May/June and creditable second in last three starts, latest at Hexham where he has a particularly strong record; penultimate effort shows he acts at Sedgefield; new trip is the question mark. |

29th Sep 2026 Good 2m 5f 28y Class 4 |

Won five chases in the trot on good ground at up to 3m in May/June, four at Hexham, the other at Cartmel; went up 28lb but creditable second (of three) off this mark at Warwick last week (3m, good to firm); contender. |

22nd Sep 2026 Good To Firm 3m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Won five in a row over fences in May/June (2m4f-3m, good); it's possible he's gone off the boil judged on his last two runs but good to soft ground may not have suited at Cartmel last time and he's not ruled out. |

13-race maiden; ran better than eventual 36l defeat suggests when today's headgear combination was used at Hexham (2m4f, good) last Tuesday but is effectively 5lb higher from out of the weights here. |

Verdict
Olly Murphy was highly complimentary about INDEEVAR BLEU following his comfortable bumper success and he’s hardly flying high here on his hurdling debut. Hiero Sport did well to push a fair prospect close in his only bumper and he appeals as the other one with significant potential.[Alistair Jones]
