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. |

23rd May 2026 Good 1m 4f 5y Class 4 |
9st 9lb |
Three Flat wins at up to 1m2f; in the frame twice over hurdles since last seen on the Flat; drops into a 0-80 and should stay 1m4f; not discounted. |

2nd 7 |
4th May 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Flat/hurdle winner; back from a break with pleasing runs under both codes before struggling in the Sussex Champion Hurdle; this is easier than that assignment. |
5/1 |

5th Apr 2026 Good 1m 7f 195y Class 2 |
10st 7lb |
Flat/hurdle winner; back from a break to finish fourth behind Hamlet's Night on the AW and then ran third of six in a Fakenham handicap hurdle; this race is much tougher than that one. |

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. |

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]
