16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Left the O'Neills for £23,000 and made a winning start for this yard at Market Rasen in first-time blinkers (2m4f, good); didn't have a lot in hand but only raised 3lb. |

19th Jul 2025 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 3 |
11st 2lb |
Surged in the weights for wins at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) and Southwell (2m4f, good) last autumn; below par on his last two starts for the O'Neills but he's since joined a bang-in-form stable (for £23,000) and has to be of interest in first-time blinkers after a break. |

10th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 28y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Went up 19lb for wins at Fontwell (2m3f, good to soft) and Southwell (2m4f, good) last year; beaten at odds-on next time but subsequently fair third on chase debut; back over hurdles after pulling up last time; others look better handicapped. |

31st Aug 2025 Good 2m 7f 0y Class 5 |
10st 5lb |
Sole win was an AW Flat race in 2022; easily his best show in eight appearances over hurdles was on latest start when second of six in handicap at Fontwell (near 2m6f, good) in June, giving some encouragement for this trip but he's now 4lb out of the handicap. |

10th Jun 2025 Good 2m 5f 164y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Arguably ran a bit better than eventual 24l defeat suggests when sixth here (3m2f, good; Trevor's Lad close second) last month and may benefit from today's drop back in trip but, overall, his hurdling record is poor. |
25/1 |

25th May 2025 Good 3m 1f 166y Class 5 |
10st 2lb |
Struggled over hurdles in the 2023-24 season and, following a layoff, was pulled up at Plumpton (3m1f, good) this month; might have needed that outing and remains unexposed over this sort of trip but is not easily recommended from 8lb out of the weights. |

15th May 2024 Good 2m 7f 177y Class 5 |
10st 7lb |
Always behind when switched to fences and fitted with cheekpieces for handicap debut at Exeter (2m1f, good) last month; not bred to benefit from today's hike up in trip and clearly needs to take a big step forward but he represents a respected stable and remains very unexposed. |

Hasn't shown much in a bumper and three hurdles at up to 2m5f; cheekpieces now added to tongue-tie for chase debut; in good hands and on a workable mark but need to see more from him. |

12th May 2024 Good 2m 7f 174y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Beaten a neck by Fantomas when second of 16 on handicap debut at Hereford (3m1f, good to soft) in March; flopped when co-favourite off this 5lb higher mark at Stratford three weeks ago, when jockey reported that he hung right-handed, so reverting to this right-handed track may help. |

26th Mar 2026 Good 2m 7f 136y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Low-mileage maiden who's been second or third in handicaps on all three chase outings, absent 590 days after first of those; rallied strongly when third of seven at Leicester (2m7f, soft) one month ago, which suggests that this step back up in trip is very much in order; one to consider. |

24th Feb 2026 Heavy 2m 6f 151y Class 5 |

Low-mileage maiden who ran well on chase debut in June 2024 (penultimate start) and may be capable of progress with Hereford reappearance under his belt; one to consider. |

1st Nov 2024 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Came good over hurdles when trouncing three rivals here (2m7f, soft) in May and he ran to a similar level when second over same C&D the following month; now drops back in trip but he travelled smoothly on his penultimate run and still has scope for further progress; dangerous on his return. |

1st Nov 2024 Good 2m 3f 207y Class 4 |

15th Jun 2024 Good 2m 7f 70y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Came good over hurdles at seventh attempt, easily drawing clear to win small-field C&D (soft) race by 33l three weeks ago; it's hard to gauge what that form is worth but the forecast rain will suit him. |

Improving sort beat Rocheval over 2m6f at Kelso last time; ground-versatile and should go well if coping with this shorter trip (has won at 2m); yard has done well at this meeting over the years. |

Verdict
Point winner BROUGHSHANE made an encouraging return from an absence at Chepstow last month and there can be optimism he has plenty more to offer. He earns the vote ahead of stablemate Stay If U Want To, who won a bumper at Market Rasen last time and is bred to be suited by the step up in trip. Jonjo O’Neill Jr partnered both last time out but is on Broughshane today. Just In A Bit and Outside Adesa could also run well.[Ben Hutton]
