15th Oct 2025 Good 2m 3f 154y Class 4 |
11st 7lb |
Won two bumpers before highly commendable Grade 2 second at Aintree (good) in April, then easily justified skinny odds on hurdling debut at Hexham (2m, good to soft) the following month; likely to be suited by today's step up in trip and ought to be very hard to beat. |

Fourth in one of his points and very talented in bumpers, finishing second in Grade 2 at Aintree (2m1f, good) four weeks ago; he'll be extremely tough to beat if anything like as good on this first hurdle start. |

3rd May 2025 Good 2m 0f 48y Class 4 |

Made the frame in two bumpers and, after a modest spell on the Flat, didn't run badly when third on last month's hurdle debut at Newcastle (2m4f, good), albeit no match for the first two; could run into a place now back down in trip in first-time blinkers. |

10st 10lb |
Landed his second win over hurdles at Hexham (2m4f, good) in May off 4lb lower; tailed off on his return back there (2m, good) a fortnight ago and may need to come down a few pounds, while ease in the ground would not go amiss. |

2-6 over hurdles, the latter win gained here (2m4f, good) in May; not seen since respectable Flat run the following month and not sure to benefit from this drop back in trip, but may still have some potential over jumps. |

10st 2lb |
2m4f maiden point winner for James Owen three years ago, but recent efforts have reaffirmed that staying that and longer trips is otherwise often beyond her; 3lb drop is not persuasive; tongue tie retained. |

4th Oct 2026 Good 1m 7f 168y Class 5 |
11st 3lb |
3-34 on Flat and 1-9 over hurdles; the hurdles win came at Wetherby (2m, soft) in February; placed there and at Worcester (upped to 2m4f, good) on both starts since, having left David Thompson for £21,000 in between and undergone wind surgery; needs a bit extra but has to be considered. |

10th Sep 2026 Good 2m 4f 0y Class 5 |

Came good over hurdles for David Thompson with clear success at Wetherby (2m, soft) in February and was placed off today's mark over that C&D (good to soft) the following month; changed hands for £21,000 in May and was given a wind op soon afterwards; goes without cheekpieces on this debut for Dan Skelton and has stamina to prove but should be fine on the forecast faster ground; must be considered. |

She produced one of her better performances when fourth at Hexham (2m4f, good) in June last time but probably needs to better on that effort today if she's to get off the mark at the 14th attempt. |

C&D winner (similar mark) on Boxing Day; not the easiest to predict since and his respectable third at Perth (2m4f) last month was followed by a laboured performance at Cartmel (2m6f) 18 days later; place claims at a minimum if putting his best foot forward. |

Precious little in three attempts over hurdles (2m-2m4f) in May/June 2025; nigh impossible to consider on that evidence, especially with a 504-day absence to overcome; safe to look elsewhere. |
