21st Jul 2025 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 5 |
11st 8lb |
Gave good account when third of 12 in C&D (good to soft) selling handicap in May but has modest 1-22 strike-rate over hurdles and ran poorly when last in action; others appeal more. |

Bumper/hurdle winner; still relatively early days with this yard and not beaten too far in either run following a break; on a competitive mark. |

Just 1-20 over hurdles but hasn't been with Mark Walford all that long and returned from break with respectable fourth at Sedgefield (2m1f, good to firm) this month; ought to cope if the ground eases here; shortlisted. |

Bumper winner but 0-14 hurdling, joining current yard after C&D claiming fourth a year ago; didn't count on recent comeback run at Punchestown, entitled to come on for that. |

18th Oct 2026 Yielding 2m 3f 92y |
11st 7lb |
Placed in a pair of handicap hurdles in the spring, notably second over 2m5f at this venue in April; returned from a spell on the Flat to win at Tramore 10 days ago; task was eased by a rival's fall two out, even so a 6lb rise could prove lenient. |

Point/hurdle/chase winner; only raced five times on the Flat and kept on for a closing fourth at Down Royal last time; that was over 2m2f and this shorter trip perhaps not ideal. |

Dual hurdle winner has won on the level at this track; however, his recent form has been poor and the blinkers will have to spark a major revival. |

Reached the frame twice in similar races on AW under Brodie Hampson in February; well treated on those efforts but hasn't found the same form back on turf (good to firm/good) after a break, including well behind Star Start and Austrian Theory at Catterick 17 days ago; the return to softer ground could help but leap of faith needed. |

More highly rated over fences than hurdles, winning 2m2f Sligo novice last autumn and touched off in 2m handicaps at Tramore and Down Royal; returned from eight-month absence when never counting in 2m handicap hurdle here last month, expected to come on for that. |

0-9 over hurdles; best effort to date on latest when beaten 8.5l into fourth of 11 at Downpatrick (2m2f, good); dropping back in trip a plus on the evidence of that run but different ground to deal with here; not fully discounted if she handles the conditions. |
