Can be hit and miss but he made pretty much all the running to beat five rivals in latest hurdle start at Hereford (3m1f, good) 12 days ago; off the same mark here but has not looked a natural chaser in two previous attempts. |

Ex-Irish 10yo; has very mixed record since returning from mammoth absence in the autumn but caused 50-1 surprise when reverted to hurdling at Wincanton (2m5f, soft) in March and was back in good form when close second over C&D (good) 11 days ago; obvious contender if in the right mood. |

2-13 over fences when trained by Henry Daly, the latter win gained at Ludlow (2m4f, good) last month; yet fully to convince stamina-wise over 3m but, having recently changed hands for £22,000, still has strong claims on this stable debut. |

Posted best effort of her 2025-26 campaign when neck second, clear of the remainder, at Stratford (2m3f, good) last time; appears capable of going one better, having recorded sole chase success (November 2024) off current mark. |

11st 10lb |
A fair 2m3f hurdles scorer for John Joseph Hanlon but he ended his time there below par; starts out for his new yard on a handy-looking mark though so he's not without interest on the back of wind surgery; visor replaces blinkers. |

Dual hurdles winner at around 2m3f (stays 2m4f); well beaten in all three starts for this trainer; handy mark as a result and support for him would be interesting. |

Won a selling hurdle for James Owen in March but was safely held in two handicap hurdles for new stable last month (2m/2m4f) and needs to raise his game on this first chasing start since January 2024. |

26th Apr 2024 Good 2m 0f 11y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Seems well down the pecking order at his powerful yard but best effort (third to useful opponent) reads well in this context; apparent non-stayer over 2m5f on soft ground most recently; respected back down in distance with tongue-tie fitted. |

The best of his qualifying runs was here over 1m7f (heavy) when 15l behind a subsequent Grade 2 winner and well behind him that day in fourth was Lady Balko who has recently gone on a winning spree; potentially well handicapped for last year's winning combination. |

27th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 5f 82y Class 4 |
11st 10lb |
Has yet to win a handicap but he's well treated on some efforts, notably a Kempton second (2m5f, soft) 12 months ago off a 12lb higher mark; stable still not out of the woods after their recent troubles but he's hard to discount. |

1st Mar 2024 Soft 2m 4f 118y Class 4 |

Kempton second (2m5f, soft) last March was one of his peak efforts; 10lb lower today, having failed to fire in the same way this season (over fences initially); back hurdling on last three starts, best of those on second occasion; place chance but others are more convincing for the win. |

His last three wins have been over fences but he's a four-time hurdle winner who can deal with this mark if ready to go after his absence; seems fine on all ground. |

Seemingly back in good form when second at Worcester (2m4f, good to soft) in August but didn't fire at Sedgefield last month and he's probably best suited by good ground (albeit has won on heavy). |
