Runner-up in an Irish point in November 2023; yet to complete the course in three runs over hurdles; back after a wind op with plenty to prove. |

23rd Oct 2025 Good To Firm 2m 7f 171y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Lightly raced Irish maiden point winner; off the mark over nearly 3m in a maiden hurdle at Chepstow (good) and stopped quickly on handicap debut at Ayr's big April meeting; like many from this yard, chasing should be more his game. |

Much improved on his third start when staying on well for third at Wincanton 13 months ago (2m5f, soft) and he was just behind the smart Lord Of Thunder that day; strong claims if returning in the same form. |

11st 12lb |
4-7 over fences but ended 2025 with two disappointing hurdle runs and made very underwhelming return to chasing when seventh of eight at Newbury (2m7f, soft) in February; needs to turn things around. |
14/1 |

17th Feb 2026 2m 7f 91y Class 3 |

Well handicapped on his old chase form but this is a belated return to fences and recent hurdling exploits leave him with much to prove. |

Verdict
It wasn’t mindblowing form that HISTRIONIC showed in bumpers but his pedigree is all about stamina and Paul Nicholls was evidently keen to retain his services after he went through the ring this summer as part of the Chris Giles dispersal sale. Clondaw General is the only one with a recent run under his belt and it wasn’t a bad race he won at Worcester, for all that only three ran. Jail No Bail is also promising, while smart chaser Saint Palais can’t be ruled out.[Alistair Jones]
