Still early days over fences and under rules; returning from a wind operation when runner-up at Fontwell (2m2f, good) and he stays this longer trip; in the mix. |

Good second to smart one in sole Irish point; definite promise over hurdles and fences in Britain, even though he faded at about 2m4f in two handicap chases (good to soft and heavy); travels strongly so the drop in trip may well suit; interesting on first run since wind surgery. |

The winner of two handicap chases last season (2m/2m3f, heavy/good to soft); failed to build on an encouraging return when well held at Uttoxeter in January but couldn't rule him out off a fair mark. |

Has plenty of back-class but an 11yo now and hasn't been offering a great deal in handicap chases since rejoining Paul Nicholls. |

16th Apr 2025 Good 2m 3f 83y Class 4 |
11st 6lb |
Recruited out of a selling hurdle last spring; second or third in all five chases for this yard and again placed back over hurdles yesterday at Southwell when beaten 11l in first-time blinkers (cheekpieces this time); won't mind returning to fences but he's struggling to get the job done. |

Consistent over fences since returning from a break and seemed to respond well to first-time cheekpieces when creditable third in 0-130 contest at Newbury (2m7f, good to soft) last month; reverts to hurdling on same mark and with blinkers tried for the first time; respected. |

Switched to fences last season and won twice over 2m4f at Wincanton (soft/good to soft); had heavy ground to deal with when returning from a year off two months ago and entitled to have more of a say now. |

12st 2lb |
100-1 winner of a handicap chase in December; has become hard to predict and heavy ground shouldn't have bothered him when never travelling with purpose last time; his previous effort was no better, either; hood off, tongue-tie on. |

Had two wind ops on either side of winning a 2m4f maiden hurdle at Market Rasen in April 2023; lightly raced since and it wasn't his first scruffy jump when falling on chase debut in November; others safer. |

Had two wind ops on either side of winning a 2m4f maiden hurdle at Market Rasen in April of 2023, after which he was absent for 209 days before finishing well held in an Ascot handicap; now returns from another absence for chase debut but his yard is going great guns. |
