19th Nov 2025 Soft 2m 0f 54y Class 5 |
10st 6lb |
Modest form in Ireland and was left clear to win British maiden point in May; subsequently pulled up in Southwell maiden hurdle in June on sole start for Christian Williams; beaten 85l on chase, handicap and stable debut last month. |

Very poor hurdler in Ireland and was left clear to win a modest British point; never involved when 40-1 for a 2m4f maiden hurdle at Southwell this summer on only run for Christian Williams; goes chasing with an awful lot to prove. |

Made the frame on all four hurdling starts during 2023-24 season, most recently when third in Wetherby handicap (3m, soft); not sure to be suited by the quicker ground here but should cope with the drop back in trip; major player if fully tuned up after 507-day absence. |

Lightly raced 6yo who has posted some solid efforts, including on heavy ground and when fair third on handicap debut at Ascot (2m5f, good to soft) three weeks ago; he's a half-brother to Any Second Now, who has twice been placed in the Grand National, and could improve now up in trip again. |

Two-time bumper winner who was runner-up in a 2m maiden hurdle at Worcester in May 2023; well below that form since returning from long absence in January, with his two handicap runs in April particularly disappointing, but the booking of Sean Bowen catches the eye here. |

10st 11lb |
Showed significant hurdling ability in Ireland last year and won a British point (2m4f, soft) in February; ultimately well beaten when fourth on last month's stable debut at Southwell (2m4f, good) but she ran well to a point and the outing might have done her good; one to consider. |
