Off the mark over hurdles in a novice handicap at Market Rasen in May (2m, good); has since won on the Flat (1m2f, good to firm); blinkers on for first time over jumps (has worn them on the Flat but not when winning); each-way chance. |

0-12 and no match for Pescatorius when second over C&D (good) latest, but that was still an encouraging effort on his second chase start and he's 7lb better off with the winner; has shown ability on soft ground; chance. |

Form has regressed since May's encouraging start in handicaps (2m, good), latest when finishing remote; cheekpieces now added but she's hard to make a case for from out of the weights. |

Started her handicap career with a promising third at Market Rasen (2m, good) in May but she's not gone on from that and was an early faller at Newton Abbot 12 days ago; has some questions to answer and she needs to get back on track. |

9st 7lb |
More than a year since he ran well on the Flat and the switch to blinkers didn't help last time (returns to the usual cheekpieces today); would be a surprise winner upped from 1m2f. |

30th Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |

On a lengthy losing sequence and he failed to beat a rival in 1m4f handicap at Leicester last month; blinkers replace the usual cheekpieces here with plenty to prove. |

31st May 2026 Good 2m 4f 1y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Safely held when fourth over fences at Fontwell (2m2f, good) this month but that was his first run since November (also his first after a wind op); reverts to hurdling on mark just 2lb higher then when winning this race by 14l on good ground a year ago; must be considered. |
15/8 |

14th May 2026 Good 2m 1f 165y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
Sole success came when wide-margin winner over hurdles at Fakenham just under one year ago but he's finished runner-up on 12 occasions, including five times in succession over fences between September and November; had wind surgery after heavy defeat over hurdles at Windsor over five months ago; market might guide on this return. |
9/1 |

2nd 4 |
20th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 166y Class 5 |
10st 11lb |
Won over hurdles at Fakenham (2m4f, good) in June and was runner-up in two chases last month, latterly behind King Of The Story at Warwick (2m4f, good); also ran well back over hurdles at Fakenham on Friday, but the forecast rain is a worry. |

22nd Sep 2025 Standard 2m 0f 120y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Improver over hurdles for Fergal O'Brien, winning at Taunton (2m) and Market Rasen (2m4f) in the first half of 2025; 14-1 for his return to the Flat at Yarmouth last month (11.5f, good to firm) and dropped away having been hassled up front; today's longer trip should be in his favour given stamina over hurdles. |
10/1 |

15th Aug 2025 Good To Firm 1m 3f 104y Class 5 |
8st 11lb |
Big personal best over hurdles in June when running away with a 2m5f Market Rasen 0-100 (good; RPR 111); no Flat runs since 2021-22 in France and only ever once beaten under 20l, but British Flat mark appropriately realistic and he's a danger to all if recent cheer translates to this code. |

20th Jun 2025 Good 2m 4f 139y Class 5 |

Won in pretty good style at Taunton (2m, good to firm) in April, having rejoined Fergal O'Brien, and will be fine over this trip, but disappointed when warm favourite at Worcester last month and now has a point to prove. |

7th Jun 2024 Good 1m 3f 218y Class 4 |

Two wins at about 1m2f in France; most competitive form in Britain has been over hurdles (placed) and not wildly appealing on his Flat exploits. |
25/1 |

4th 7 (4) |
17th May 2024 Good To Firm 1m 4f 0y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Two wins in France (1m2f/10.5f) in first half of last year but he has a mixed record under both codes in Britain; on reduced mark on this return to the Flat but losing run is mounting up and others are more convincing. |

Hurdles win in 2024 came at Listowel (2m, soft) off 91; returned there in September for a staying-on third in same event (following 141-day absence); 6-4 favourite for handicap chase at Killarney when last seen, falling at three out when going okay; lightly raced and could go well. |

Yard's runners often go well here and last year's winner is back to defend his crown off 8lb higher; that success came after a similar break so his lack of a recent run isn't a concern but he has to prove this mark isn't beyond him. |
