11st 7lb |
Consistent and steadily progressive; beat Dare To Shout by 25l at Wetherby (3m; handicap debut, second chase attempt) most recently, adding to his point/hurdle wins; hit with a 10lb rise but still respected. |

11st 10lb |
Struggled in the Pertemps Final and his previous run was no better; however, he beat recent Cheltenham winner Long Draw at Warwick earlier this season and followed that with two excellent seconds at up to 3m; if back in that sort of form he'd be a live contender. |

1st Jul 2024 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |
10st 10lb |
Fair on the Flat but has not shown much over hurdles; pulled up on last month's handicap debut at Southwell (2m, good to soft); moves up in trip and swaps cheekpieces for first-time blinkers. |

Ordinary maiden on Flat for Hugo Palmer and tailed off in three hurdles on ground ranging from heavy to good to soft; in a respected yard but has it all to prove on handicap debut. |

21st Jun 2024 Good 2m 7f 16y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Runner-up in soft-ground Irish point debut in December but was soundly beaten in two 2m3f maiden hurdles in March (good to soft/soft); needs the added cheekpieces to make a big difference here. |

23rd Mar 2024 Soft 2m 3f 123y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Odds-on when runner-up in an Irish point, then bought for £20,000; weak in the market ahead of hurdling debut at Hereford (2m3f, good to soft) and finished tailed off. |
33/1 |

9th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 3f 147y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Out of a half-sister to smart jumper Tarxien; clear second to a subsequent dual hurdle winner on Irish point debut in December (soft ground) and joined up-and-coming stable for £20,000 the following month; fitted with tongue-tie for rules debut; interesting to see how he fares. |
