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. |

11st 4lb |
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. |

11st 11lb |
Has mixed record this year and is not easy to predict but won off today's mark here (2m5f, good) in April and ran well until stamina ebbed away here (3m2f, good to firm) last month; drops back in trip and swaps usual cheekpieces for first-time visor; contender if on a going day. |

Won over 2m5f here on chase debut, but was disappointing on next three starts over fences (jumped badly right on third occasion); fair second back hurdling last time; questions to answer back over fences. |

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. |

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. |
