28th Mar 2026 Good 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 4lb |
Scored three times (around 2m) over hurdles in 2024; very lightly raced since and he failed to build on an encouraging reappearance Wetherby third when sixth of eight in 2m Uttoxeter handicap in December; reportedly finished lame there so worth another chance in this grade. |

24th Apr 2025 Good To Soft 2m 4f 35y Class 4 |
11st 11lb |
Form figures of 3111 in handicaps since joining Olly Murphy on ground ranging from good to soft to heavy; defied a nine-month absence at Leicester in December and that form has worked out well; up another 7lb and drying ground is an unknown, but dangerous to dismiss. |

Signed off for Jennie Candlish with 2m hurdling success at Catterick in March; not discredited for current yard with fourth of seven in 2m3f Stratfrord selling handicap last month; may need more here. |

12st 0lb |
Changed hands in March after winning a claimer; only four ran when a half-length runner-up at Market Rasen before flying too high there in the Summer Hurdle; this is a lot more realistic. |

25th Aug 2026 Good To Firm 2m 2f 148y Class 5 |
11st 11lb |
Made shaky start to hurdling career during the winter but benefited from combination of drop in trip and switch to good ground when winning 2m Ludlow maiden by 4l in March; below that form when last of nine finishers here (2m, good) the following month on handicap debut; best watched. |

19th Apr 2026 Good 2m 0f 70y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Made shaky start to hurdling career during the winter but benefited from combination of drop in trip and switch to good ground when winning 2m Ludlow maiden by 4l last month; probably needs to improve again to overcome opening handicap mark but that's possible. |

19th Mar 2026 Good To Soft 1m 7f 169y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Irish point winner on heavy; beaten favourite in both bumpers and modest third in seller in sole completed attempt over hurdles; 100-1 and pulled up at Southwell (also about 2m4f, soft) last time; drop in trip might help but it needs to. |
14/1 |
Verdict
Having been in fairly good heart before an excusable defeat last time, HARA KIRI appeals as the most likely winner on these terms. Pigeon House is the danger as Zainy Champ seems hard to predict and Borna Gem ran moderately in a seller last time.[Alistair Jones]
