Came good at fifth attempt, keeping on well for hard-fought success at Sandown (2m, soft) three weeks ago; 3lb rise does not look excessive and further progress is possible; one to consider. |

19th Jan 2025 Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 3 |
11st 5lb |
Smart on the Flat in France in his prime and has made the frame in three handicap hurdles for Paul Nicholls this season, most recently when second of 18 at Ascot (1m7f, good to soft) last month; only 1lb higher here and will be suited by the move back up in trip; probably won't be far away. |

20th Dec 2024 Good 1m 7f 152y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Smart stayer on the Flat in France and he was a fair fourth of 15 on his handicap hurdle debut at Cheltenham (2m, good) last month before a neck defeat at Sandown (2m, soft) a fortnight ago; needs a bigger run today but he has obvious potential off his current mark if and when things really click. |

Now 0-6 and proving expensive to following, having again failed favourite backers on handicap debut here (2m, soft); still ran well and a combination of this longer trip and new headgear could trigger something. |

11st 11lb |
Runner-up in a bumper and three races over hurdles last season; off the mark in a Carlisle novice in October (2m1f, soft) and not disgraced at Sandown on handicap debut (2m, soft); now 2lb lower; interesting now up in trip. |

26th Jan 2025 Soft 2m 1f 162y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Left France after a 2m2f win on very soft last May; tailed off here on his British debut at Fontwell and although his fifth of six at Sandown (2m, soft) next time in another handicap was more like it, he'll need much better to win this; the tongue-tie and cheekpieces worn in France remain absent. |

Placed over about 2m/2m1f (also ran well over 1m7f latest start) but underperformed last July when upped to 2m3f and that is the furthest he's been. |
