J: Toby McCain-Mitchell

T: Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies

Good-ground Irish point winner who was second behind useful rivals on first two hurdling starts (2m4f/2m2f); well beaten after racing too freely on last month's handicap debut but remains open to improvement if he settles better here.

J: Toby McCain-Mitchell

T: Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies

Irish point winner in May 2025 (3m, good); had a wind op in September and has since finished runner-up on both starts over hurdles, last time finiishing 9l behind a useful sort in a Market Rasen novice (2m2f, good to soft; tongue-tie on first time); tongue-tie retained and could go well on h'cap debut.

J: Toby McCain-Mitchell

T: Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies

Changed hands for six-figure sum after good-ground Irish point win last spring; did not find much at the business end when well-held second on rules debut at Leicester (2m4f, soft) six weeks ago but combination of better ground and first-time tongue-tie could enable significant improvement here.

Out of a bumper/Flat/hurdle scorer; rallied to win good-ground Irish point and sold for £155,000 later in May; had wind surgery since; brings potential and looks interesting.
