16th Dec 2024 Good To Yielding 2m 3f 118y |
11st 12lb |
0-8 under Rules and 0-6 over hurdles; attracted market support last time out at Clonmel but was beaten 56l; tongue tie now reached for; rated just 88 and unlikely to be the answer. |

Tailed off over fences last time; previously ran well to take fourth in a C&D handicap, but that was off a modest rating. |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won twice over hurdles, including here (2m, good to firm; from 9lb lower) in June 2024; hasn't really taken to fences (0-3), only fourth of six at Ayr (2m, soft) three months ago; this return to hurdles could reignite a spark, but it's likely he's a few pounds too high in the handicap. |

10th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 110y Class 4 |
11st 3lb |
Won over hurdles in late 2024 but more poor runs than good since then, including two attempts over fences (the latest a C&D handicap); bit to prove now. |

Inconsistent 12-race maiden who has struggled at around 3m in his last two handicaps; 4lb out the weights here and he needs a major turnaround in new equipment. |

15th Oct 2025 Good 3m 0f 26y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
0-11 over hurdles but comes here after making the frame on consecutive appearances at Perth (2m4f/3m, good) this summer and is not yet fully exposed at about 3m; each-way claims at least. |
7/1 |

16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 207y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
No wins in 12 but ran his best race since wind surgery when beaten only half a length over 2m4f here recently; could build on that and should stay this far. |

3rd Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Unplaced all nine hurdling starts, albeit he ran well when fourth on soft ground at Newcastle (2m6f) during the winter; recent efforts have been underwhelming; needs to raise his game. |

6th May 2026 Good 2m 7f 96y Class 4 |
12st 1lb |
Won four handicaps on the trot two seasons ago (2m-2m5f, good to soft/soft); hasn't won since but was beaten only by a nose over C&D on good last time; contender. |
6/5 |

2nd 6 |
20th Apr 2026 Good 2m 7f 96y Class 3 |
11st 0lb |
Last season's chasing four-timer included two course wins (2m1f/2m5f) but he's been disappointing since, barring a keeping-on second at Newcastle (2m4f, good to soft) in December; pulled up in Carlisle series final won by Wolfburg last month, and moves back up in trip with questions to answer. |

22nd Mar 2026 Good To Soft 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
11st 13lb |
Ran creditably behind Trac at Newcastle (2m4f) on penultimate start but otherwise far from consistent since completing a four-timer last term; not exactly guaranteed to give his running. |

23rd Jun 2024 Good 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Has not shown a great deal in three maiden hurdles this year (2m2f-2m4f) but has lowly mark for this handicap debut and the longer trip and/or first-time tongue-tie may enable improvement; worth a glance in the betting. |
16/1 |

7th Jun 2024 Good 2m 2f 140y Class 4 |

15th May 2024 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |

Had wind surgery before her debut; modest efforts in a bumper and a mares' maiden hurdle at Musselburgh (2m4f, soft); best watched for now. |

23rd May 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 83y Class 3 |
10st 6lb |
Triple winner at up to 2m4f (soft and good); inconsistency tempers confidence in her backing up last month's Perth near-miss (2m4f, good; first-time visor retained), but has staying potential on breeding. |
4/1 |

22nd Apr 2026 Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |

Ayr winner in November (2m3f, soft); some fair form in lower grade events than this since; visor replaces normal cheekpieces. |

7th Mar 2026 Soft 2m 5f 91y Class 4 |

Not one to rely upon heavily but won in good style here (2m3f, soft) in November and has been placed on two of her subsequent four appearances; can make presence felt if in right mood. |
3/1 |
Verdict
Only two have run in a bumper and they have not achieved much. ISHOLO DU VIVIEN and Walk On Quest therefore seem the most plausible candidates, having achieved something in the Irish point scene and joined leading yards, with the former having been in recent action with his point win last month. Kinbara Firstdraft needs a second look given the record of his trainer in these events.[Richard Austen]
