1st Jun 2026 Good To Firm 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |

Third in his last three starts, but may not have achieved that much and remains without a win on the Flat since the end of 2023; others more compelling. |

Comes here on the back of two third-place finishes but the latest was behind Trojan Soldier and there is no obvious reason why the placings would be reversed. |

There was some restoration of his Flat fortunes when third of five at Southwell (1m6f, AW; stays 2m) on latest start but he's without a win on the Flat since the end of 2023; has another career-low mark but it's hard to know when he will take advantage. |

Fairly useful on Flat for previous yard; respectable second in big field at Wincanton (1m7f, good) on the latest of two attempts over hurdles; now goes in tongue-tie; should be capable of better still under this code and is one for the shortlist. |

20th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |

At his best as a hurdler when gaining his second win in this sphere, at Kempton (2m, good) in March; touched off at Ludlow next time but below his best up in trip at Plumpton (2m4f, good) last month; ridden on four of last five starts by Ciaran O'Shea; back to 2m and needs to return to form. |

5th 8 |
6th Apr 2026 Good 2m 4f 116y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Began to look exposed in the second half of last year but he showed improved form to win at Kempton (2m, good) on March 23 and was short-headed at Ludlow (2m, good) last Monday; he should be fine now back up in trip and could again be thereabouts. |

Classy on the Flat back in the day; it had been a struggle in handicaps this season but, back from a break and dropped in grade, he won readily enough under Ciaran O'Shea at Kempton (2m, good) last week; escapes a penalty. |

Won a 1m3f Class 5 handicap at Southwell in October and slightly better form when collared late over 1m2f at Lingfield 11 days ago; 1lb higher in a better race but current wellbeing will count for plenty here. |

3-36 and has suffered heavy defeats on turf in two his last three starts, but he went down by just a head at Kempton (1m3f, Polytrack) in between; perhaps not the most reliable, but would be a player on that form. |

0-8 over hurdles but shaped very well before fading into fifth in soft-ground C&D maiden last month (first run after a wind op); has better chance at the weights now back in a handicap and should be fine on the faster ground; interesting. |

16th Apr 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |

Has shown significant hurdling ability but was well beaten in his first two handicaps (chase/hurdles), having bled from the nose on both occasions; had wind op during 81-day break; has a fighting chance if all goes well but comes with obvious risk. |

Unplaced all nine runs in points and over hurdles but she has shown a glimmer of ability, and she finished ahead of two of today's rivals when fifth at Plumpton four weeks ago on her first outing for Fergal O'Brien, beaten only after a mistake two out; has since had wind surgery; quite interesting in first-time cheekpieces. |

0-5 over hurdles when trained by Barry Brennan but the first of her two handicap runs this season was fairly respectable and it will be interesting to see what new trainer Fergal O'Brien can do with her. |

Last month's 11l Worcester fifth (2m, good) represents her closest finish to date, but she didn't hit the line sufficiently hard to suggest further is required yet; tongue tie debuted there is retained. |

Not at best on the Flat the last twice, but her previous effort over hurdles at Bangor (2m, good) in September was encouraging, given she made a costly late error; unexposed in this discipline after just the five runs and not out of this. |

Record of 2-42 and her last win was in March 2023; didn't fire as favourite when back on the Flat here (1m3f) last month but that race wasn't run to suit and she looks interesting on some placed efforts on Polytrack (1m4f) in the spring; not ruled out off dangerous mark. |

British challenger; dual-purpose; has won on the AW on the Flat but is 0-10 over hurdles; went close off 1lb lower at Huntingdon (20.5f, soft) in January; ground may have been too lively at Southwell latest; could outrun his odds back on easier ground. |
