Has no realistic form claims in this company and Sean Bowen was aboard when tailed off in a Fontwell maiden two weeks ago for which he was 100-1. |

7th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 3m 1f 44y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Gained his bumper and maiden hurdle wins at this time of year but doesn't obviously arrive in much form having pulled up in a handicap hurdle and chase since reappearing after wind surgery. |

2nd Feb 2026 Good To Soft 3m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Point/bumper/2m maiden hurdle winner; remains lightly raced but ran poorly on last month's seasonal/handicap hurdle debut (2m3f) and it's hard to know what to expect from him over this much longer trip on chase debut. |

15th Aug 2026 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
No match for Filibustering when second at Cartmel (2m1f, good) on stable debut in June and has since been well beaten on the Flat but is well handicapped on some of his form for Alan King and will be suited by today's trip/ground; could have a say. |
7/1 |

5th 2 (1) |
17th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 0y Class 4 |
9st 11lb |
Minor honours over 1m3f/1m4f in his two Flat handicaps this term (his last runs for Alan King) prior to his creditable second 19 days ago for new yard over hurdles; should be a serious player. |
3/1 |

2nd 8 |
28th Jun 2026 Good 2m 1f 46y Class 2 |

Formerly with Alan King; creditable second at Warwick on latest hurdles start (2m, good) and has since finished third in a 1m4f handicap at Salisbury; stable debut; each-way chance. |

Soundly beaten in sole bumper and pulled up on subsequent hurdle debut; has since left Matt Sheppard (remains in same ownership); hard to fancy. |

A fair maiden at up to 1m4f for William Haggas in 2023 but off for 17 months before being pulled up on yard/hurdling debut at Southwell last month; he has a bit to prove now. |

3rd 12 (9) |
7th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 0f 31y Class 5 |

Ended a long losing run at Lingfield (1m2f) in February and backed it up with a solid fourth of 12 in 1m2f handicap there the following month; considered. |
8/1 |

4th 9 (5) |
27th Mar 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 5 |
10st 9lb |
He had been badly out of sorts prior to popping up at 80-1 in a C&D handicap four weeks ago; still has handicapping scope up 3lb but it remains to be seen if he can back that effort up. |
5/1 |
|
1st 9 (5) |
27th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 2f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
His mark continues to tumble but he isn't giving any obvious indication he's likely to take advantage, failing to beat a rival on all three AW starts this winter. |
33/1 |
Verdict
Under The Sun (second choice) made an encouraging start to his hurdles career when a staying-on third over C&D and is not passed over lightly with improvement likely. However, preference is for NAP HAND who looks to have been found an inviting opportunity to build on a couple of promising placed efforts. Syllabus, a fair Flat maiden, should make an impact over hurdles at some point but he has a long absence to overcome here. [Tim Mitchell]
