7th Mar 2025 Soft 2m 6f 151y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Won five handicap hurdles on the bounce from last March onwards and has continued to hold his own, latterly behind a progressive winner at Bangor (2m7f, soft); had three months off prior to this chase debut but has to be of interest. |

21st Feb 2026 Good To Soft 2m 0f 190y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Off the mark at the tenth attempt at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) on Sunday, and in some style too, eased after surging well clear from three out; looks well in under a penalty; has a good chance of following up. |
5/6 |

15th Feb 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 124y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Maiden whose penultimate effort (in May 2024) suggests there may be an ordinary handicap in him; showed signs of retaining ability, while looking in need of the run, on belated return to action; not ruled out. |

10st 3lb |
Consistent in defeat last autumn and winter (2m3f-2m4f) but well below best since returning from three-month break this spring (three runs), and was pulled up over C&D on only previous visit here. |

Consistent without winning last autumn and winter, but checked out tamely behind Lady Fortune on last month's return here (2m6f, good); mixed record of seeing out stayers' trips, an Irish point win notwithstanding. |

0-10 and has been off for 14 months since coming in a below-par sixth in 3m Southwell handicap hurdle; not easy to warm to. |

17th Mar 2025 Good 3m 0f 60y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Launched handicap career with two close seconds at Market Rasen (2m4f, good to soft/heavy) last spring but has not been in the same form on his three outings this season, most recently when upped to 3m in January; needs to up his game. |

10st 13lb |
2-4 since switched to fences this spring, the latter win gained from the front in four-runner race at Uttoxeter (2m4f, good to soft); has a bit more on his plate here but further progress is possible. |

Improved on his chase debut when scoring at Uttoxeter (2m5f, good to soft) recently; up 5lb since that career-best effort but if he is able to step up again he'd be a contender. |

10st 11lb |
0-5 over hurdles and has sometimes raced a bit too freely but looked suited by switch to patient tactics when third at Sedgefield (2m4f, soft) in March; further progress is possible if forecast faster ground suits here. |

25th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 5 |
10st 8lb |
Ten-race maiden over hurdles; plenty to make up with a few of these on his below-par tenth at Ayr last time (2m, good to soft, tongue-tie on for first time); tongue-tie left off here but blinkers now tried. |

Verdict
Fergal O’Brien’s PLAISIR DES FLOS arrives on an upward curve and can make light of a 7lb penalty for his stylish Wincanton victory and complete a quick hat-trick. Nick Kent’s Dexperado rates much the biggest threat on the back of his excellent Market Rasen second with Hubbel Bubbel the pick of the remainder.[Peter Entwistle]
