Justified favouritism in maiden hurdle last week; Flat form this year features Newbury success that completed a 1m4f Class 4 double; however, faces a stiffer task off current mark in this grade.

Showed promise when making the frame on all three hurdle starts last winter; won twice on the Flat during the summer following wind surgery and looks sure to make his presence felt back hurdling.

J: William Buick

T: Faye Bramley

Had wind surgery in January; he's since had three runs this summer and something has clicked in a major way on last two occasions as he registered a ready win in four-runner race at Catterick and had no problem making all in a five-runner race at Newbury (again 1m4f on good to firm) six days ago; has a 5lb penalty and this is a vastly more competitive race, but never better.

Beaten just a head at Sandown on his two starts this summer (1m2f, good/good to soft), most recently four weeks ago when headed in the final strides; this 4yo has raced only eight times and could still have more to offer; not discounted in first-time cheekpieces.

Lightly raced 4yo with a progressive profile and solid form; best effort when beaten a head over C&D (good ground; handles good to soft) in July; nudged up 3lb but still unexposed and should go well again.

Two promising efforts for Brian Meehan last season; poor hurdle form this year and things were no better back on the Flat (1m2f, good) in July; up in trip for his handicap debut but he has a point to prove.

Well beaten on all three hurdling starts for new stable this year but displayed clear promise when third on both Flat runs last summer and may yet transfer some of that ability to this discipline; sports first-time cheekpieces for this handicap debut.

Won a novice hurdle in July 2025 and a 1m2f Flat novice at Bath (good to soft) that September; absent since a hurdle race last October; this new trip is highly plausible for today's handicap debut and he is one to note despite a layoff of nearly one year.

Failed to settle and stumbled/unbalanced when well beaten on debut at Windsor (1m, good to firm) in May; however, this half-sister to 1m4f Group 3 winner Haskoy was sent off the 7-4 favourite and could be an entirely different proposition with the benefit of that initial experience.
