Form & Verdict
Displayed promise when fourth of eight at Killarney (1m3f, yielding to soft) last July on the second of his three Flat starts for John Murphy; brings potential to this first hurdle/stable start and it will be no surprise to see a good run, especially if strong in the betting; a hood goes on.

Promise on one of his three Irish Flat starts and, despite failing to settle and making mistakes, he won in a first-time hood (retained) on his hurdle/stable debut in a juvenile event over C&D (good to soft) in February; tougher task today but he's open to improvement in this code; respected.

Flat background; mildly progressive when first then second in two 4yo hurdles but he ran miserably switched to handicaps at Sedgefield where his jumping didn't stand the test; returning to slower ground may help but unlikely that he's on that great a mark.

A fair staying maiden on the Flat for Charlie Fellowes; has made a positive start in this sphere, scoring at Catterick (2m) in January and backing it up with a good second of seven in 2m Kelso juvenile 32 days ago; not out of things now going into handicaps.

4yo who may not be straightforward and was disappointing when odds-on at Kelso (2m, good to soft) three weeks ago; however, before that he was second on his first three hurdle starts (1m7f, good to soft; two here); stayed well on the Flat and not discounted now up in trip on handicap hurdle debut.

Five-race maiden on Flat; has shown promise with second-place finishes in juvenile events at Musselburgh and Catterick since switched to this code, the latest effort behind a subsequent Listed scorer who remains unbeaten; cheekpieces replace tongue-tie; solid claims.

Made the frame over 7f/1m on the Flat; with a respected stable but he failed to settle when always behind at 66-1 on recent hurdle debut at Musselburgh (1m7f, good to soft) and a transformation is needed today.

A dual 1m4f AW winner (also scored over hurdles) in 2025; running with credit without winning this season until only fourth of five at Beverley (1m4f) 13 days ago; he's the sort to bounce back in a change of headgear.
