Form & Verdict
In the frame in both starts for the Gosdens having been sent off a warm favourite each time, firstly when fourth behind Emily Upjohn over C&D in November 2021 and third behind the subsequent Great Voltigeur winner Deauville Legend at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) in April 2022; makes his stable debut after 23 months off (gelded in the meantime) having changed hands for 16,000gns in October; market revealing.

Hasn't reached the heights his pedigree promised on the Flat but is a dual AW winner at up to 1m2f (RPR 94); trainer 16% with his hurdlers over five seasons and this gelding is likely to be well versed ahead of his debut; big player if transferring his abilities from the other code.

Defied a long absence to win at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in March on his second start and followed up in Newcastle handicap (1m2f, AW); disappointing at Newcastle (1m4f, AW) three weeks ago but this very lightly raced 5yo retains potential and could be a contender; ran well here on debut in 2022.

Form & Verdict
160,000gns yearling; green when sixth of ten in his only start for Richard Hannon at Newmarket (1m2f, good) last April, but despite a ten-month absence he was impressive when beating Parramount by 4l on stable debut here (8.6f) five weeks ago; bred to appreciate the extra furlong and should be hard to beat.

Bumper and three-time hurdle winner who finished 4l behind Prince Maxi on his Flat debut here (8.6f) five weeks ago; 7lb better off with his old rival, but hard to see him reversing the form and another placing is more likely; also engaged in the County Hurdle (2.10) at Cheltenham.

Chance on November's Doncaster hurdles second, less so on all which has followed; unexposed in this sphere, with one start over fences compared to the other trio's 41 combined, but none too convincing on that belated chase debut at Wetherby latest (1m7f, good), jumping left and weakening.

J: Daire McConville

Unable to beat a rival on AW on last two starts but could be a different proposition now back hurdling and back here, as two visits to Doncaster (both C&D) have yielded an easy novice win (good) and a good second in a handicap (soft; in November); very much of interest given record at the track.

Form & Verdict
Placed in two of his three starts (7.5f/1m) on a soft surface in Ireland last year; makes his stable/AW debut after 167 days off having changed hands for 38,000gns in October; worth a market check.

More talent than many with his rating but he is often the architect of his own demise, as when virtually refusing to race here three weeks ago; prior to that he'd won a C&D handicap for today's rider so a revival wouldn't be a total shock; headgear off today.
