21st Apr 2025 Good 2m 3f 98y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
Returned to peak form when dominating from the front at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft) in December and has been placed on all three starts since; still on a workable mark and can make another bold bid. |

22nd Mar 2025 Good To Soft 2m 3f 187y Class 2 |
11st 8lb |
Returned to front-running tactics last three starts and it resulted in career-best form, winning over C&D (good to soft) in December before bold shows in two valuable handicaps, the latest off this mark back over C&D (soft); his notable good-ground form was in 2023 but he needs major respect. |

25th May 2025 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 2 |
11st 13lb |
Record of 6-17 over fences; easily justified favouritism in Class 2 contest at Perth (2m4f, good to soft) most recently, building on penultimate effort and looking better than ever; shortlist material even though he's back on career-high mark. |

11st 11lb |
Formerly with Willie Mullins; five starts for this yard following a long absence, easily the best when beaten 5l over nearly 3m at Musselburgh in February (good to soft); becoming hard to predict, though, and has been tailed off since (latterly tried in cheekpieces; now goes in blinkers). |

11st 7lb |
Henderson runner whose record of 2-5 over fences features a Class 2 win at Newbury (2m4f, good) in March; creditable third in Grade 2 handicap at Cheltenham (2m5f) since, despite again tending to jump right; this in-form and comparatively unexposed 7yo commands respect. |

Pulled up three consecutive times during the winter but reportedly appreciated the better ground when winning at Newbury (2m4f, good) last month; effectively 7lb higher from 3lb out of the weights here but remains lightly raced over fences. |

8th Mar 2025 Good 2m 4f 10y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Has done much of his racing recently around 2m but he stays 2m4f well and found only one too good over the trip at Kempton in February; well treated on the pick of last season's form; more appealing than most. |

7th Feb 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 3 |
10st 12lb |
Has lacked consistency at about 2m in the last year or so; defied an 11lb higher mark at Ascot on last attempt at this sort of distance and holds a great chance if back to that form; tongue-tie applied. |

13th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Free-goer who was useful in his prime and was in front before last-fence fall over C&D (good) on last month's stable debut; subsequent 2lb rise is manageable and, providing his confidence has not been affected, he's an obvious contender. |

8th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |

Back in better form the last twice, then sold for £7,000; gained his sole chase win off 7lb higher and can't be dismissed on debut for another new yard (his fifth). |

13th May 2025 Good 2m 0f 110y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Should be well handicapped and he ran well for a long way when a 4l third behind Jet Of Dreams at Chepstow (2m, good); perhaps went off a bit too hot that day and has to be of interest. |

1st May 2025 Yielding 2m 0f 75y |
10st 7lb |
Had wind op prior to Carlisle in October, when pulled up and found to have a wound on his right hind; major improvement when easily making all at Ludlow (2m, good to soft) and Ffos Las (2m, soft), the latter effort marked up as he jumped to the right; couldn't dominate upped to 20.5f at Kempton but is on the shortlist back in trip. |

Had wind op prior to Carlisle in October, when pulled up and found to have a wound on his right-hind; major improvement the next twice when easily making all at Ludlow (2m, good to soft) and Ffos Las (2m, soft); deserves extra credit for latest win as he jumped to the right at that left-handed track; seemed fine at 2m4f last March; thriving and could prove tough to catch. |

17th Jan 2025 Soft 2m 6f 41y Class 3 |
11st 7lb |
Last campaign was very hit and miss but included two wins over about 2m4f on heavy going and he seems to be working his way back to form this season; not proven beyond 2m5f but he's too well handicapped to be ignored. |

Verdict
Off a very attractive mark back down in class and back up in distance, TRIPLE TRADE looks particularly interesting. Saint Segal, who warrants respect kept to this level and represents last year’s winning yard, is second choice. Heltenham and Sir Psycho are well capable of being involved, while Bhaloo may still have further progress in him[Steve Boow]
