Form & Verdict
£60,000 purchase after winning an Irish point in April (good to yielding; form doesn't look strong) and showed up well for a long way in a soft-ground bumper at Bangor last month when finishing 9l fourth of six; improvement needed but should be suited by the step back up in trip.

Hasn't fulfilled the promise shown when winning his first two hurdle starts in late 2024 but Sedgefield (2m4f, good to soft) in December was a step back in the right direction in a first-time tongue-tie (retained) and this point winner could be suited by the switch to fences; possible player.

T: Charlie Longsdon

Dual 2m4f novice winner towards end of 2024, beating a useful rival at Sedgefield (good to soft) on latter occasion; returned from break with disappointing run in April (raced too freely) but still looks interesting on this handicap debut; had wind operation during summer break.

Form & Verdict
Pushed Grade 2 bumper winner Horaces Pearl close on his debut last November but has been beaten at short odds on both occasions since, latest on hurdle debut here (2m, good to soft) having undergone wind surgery; that was a weak affair but he looked in need of the experience and he goes up in trip in another uncompetitive contest with the stable in better form.

His best form is when pushing a classy horse close on bumper debut and he was later runner-up in a C&D novice; hasn't improved for wind surgery and was tailed off in an ordinary 2m4f handicap here last time; lots to prove now but this maiden race has no depth to it.

Runner-up in a Wincanton bumper on debut (1m7f, good to soft; tongue-tie); beaten at 4-11 and 2-5 in two novice hurdles here (2m/2m4f, good/good to soft) after a wind op in November/December; well beaten in a Taunton maiden (2m3f, good to soft) after a second wind op in January; may do better now handicapping.

Form & Verdict
Dam a Sedgefield 2m4f hurdle winner (soft, RPR 103) related to 2m2f-2m4f chase winner Flirting Lesa; left Jonathan Fogarty after running out a comfortable winner of a good-ground Irish point in May but that form looks weak with the placed horses soundly beaten under rules since; market may provide further guidance on rules debut.

Low-mileage 6yo who is 2-2 at this sort of distance, the wins in Irish point (3m) last May and Plumpton handicap hurdle (3m1f) this month, both on good ground; open to further improvement and commands respect.

Form & Verdict
Half-brother to smart/useful jumpers Chantry House and The Last Day; £30,000 purchase after finishing runner-up on third start in Irish points and filled the same position on last month's stable/hurdle debut at Kempton (2m5f, good), albeit beaten 16l; that was promising and, with improvement expected now fitted with a tongue-tie, he's worth considering.
