OR: 121

Form & Verdict

Very lightly raced 8yo; promising when last seen in 2024, winning twice over hurdles at Newcastle (2m1f, heavy) and running creditably when unseating rider at the last on final start; must defy a long absence but he has potential as a chaser.

Form & Verdict

Had consistent campaign over hurdles last term, winning over 2m5f here (soft); solid start over fences when second of four at Carlisle (2m, good) 16 days ago, keeping on well; should build on that and must be considered.

Form & Verdict

Like stablemate From The Clouds, he's a lightly raced chasing debutant who showed promise over hurdles; the Grade 2 Rossington Main Novice at Haydock proved beyond him on his final start in January but he'd previously finished second and first over 2m here; also runner-up in three points; has to be respected.
