Capable front-runner on his day but started this season with two non-completions over fences and suffered the same fate back hurdling at Newbury (3m); won't mind returning to a shorter trip but has a good bit to prove now. |

12th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 0f 110y Class 1 |
11st 3lb |
Won over hurdles at Doncaster (2m3f, good to soft) in December and good second over fences there (2m, good) last month behind one who was runner-up in a Grade 1 novice at Aintree next time; that's the only previous occasion he's worn these blinkers; fair second over hurdles at Bangor (2m3f, good) last time; 3-8 over fences and could have more to offer now back chasing. |

Runner-up in a strong Class 2 handicap chase at Doncaster 21 days ago that he won the previous season; does like that track (won over hurdles there in December) but he was runner-up in this two years ago when only 2lb lower; ran in first-time blinkers last time but he's very effective in cheekpieces. |

22nd Mar 2025 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 2 |
10st 10lb |
11 career wins pretty much split between hurdles and the Flat; won over 1m6f at Sandown last July so remains very capable and he'll enjoy the forecast good ground back over jumps; on a handy mark if fit enough to do himself justice after 210 days away. |

Productive over hurdles and on Flat; creditable sixth in useful 1m6f event at Glorious Goodwood when bidding for a hat-trick in this sphere; remains in form but current mark may be his ceiling. |

Had three Flat wins last summer and 2-2 on Flat this year, when narrowly prevailing over 1m4f here and upped to 1m6f for a clearcut success eight days ago at Sandown; up 5lb and from Class 4 but this highly productive Flat and hurdles performer on varied ground may yet have more to give. |

Smart hurdler/chaser who could be interesting with Lewis Saunders taking away 7lb if he can rediscover some form and he has been running in Grade 2s this season; too talented to rule out. |

12st 0lb |
About this time two years ago he won back-to-back Class 2 good-ground handicaps at Cheltenham (2m4f) and Haydock (3m); hasn't approached that level this season and had plenty in his favour last time at Bangor. |

Just under two years ago he won back-to-back Class 2 good-ground handicaps at Cheltenham (2m4f) and Haydock (3m); however, hasn't really touched on that form this season and he's a 9yo now; had three months off. |

Won here in November and followed up on his handicap debut at Doncaster, again at about 2m; performed to a similar level when beaten in a novice two runs ago (2m3f) but then at 28-1 he never got involved in the Morebattle at Kelso; will need his best form yet to take this. |

Point and bumper winner who scored at Bangor (2m, good to soft) in November on his second hurdle start and easily followed up on handicap debut at Doncaster (2m, good to soft); runner-up to Willie Mullins hotpot in Catterick novice since; he's 16lb higher than at Doncaster but had bundles in hand from a runner-up who won either side of that outing; respected. |

22nd Mar 2025 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 2 |
11st 10lb |
Dual Flat winner and was a smart juvenile hurdler two seasons ago, winning twice and competitive at the top level; handicapped accordingly and left Joseph O'Brien under a bit of a cloud, albeit when highly tried; if as good as he was and not held back by his fitness after 233 days away, he'd go close; unraced over this far as a hurdler but stayed well on the Flat. |

1st Aug 2024 Good 2m 0f 11y |

Two wins on the Flat and a good juvenile hurdler two seasons ago, including winning the Grade 2 Adonis at Kempton; no match for Daddy Long Legs at Punchestown and down the field in the Ascot Stakes; others preferred. |

18th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 2m 3f 210y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Grade 1 placed as a juvenile hurdler in April 2023 and won a 1m6f Flat handicap at the Curragh that June; while his hurdles performances in December and this April were satisfactory, he appears to be much more interesting today away from soft ground (ran on good to firm just once, creditably) and with this new stamina test, which could be just his cup of tea. |

22nd Mar 2025 Good 2m 3f 123y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Cracking servant to his connections, winning for a tenth time when benefiting from the return of cheekpieces at Wetherby (2m3f, soft; 17-2); had a bit in hand then and he's essentially 3lb lower when taking into account his rider's claim; just a nagging concern that he'd prefer softer ground. |
