Close second in a Haydock bumper (1m7f, soft) on his debut last December before winning at Ayr (2m, good) in March; didn't shine in his final run last season but he's out of a sister to a smart jumper and is an interesting contender on this switch to hurdling.

0-5 in Irish points but he was runner-up on testing ground in his final run in that sphere; now switches to rules after 279 days off but he has a good jumping pedigree and needs watching in the market.

Unable to win any of his five Irish points but strong in the market when only just missing out on his switch to hurdles at Kelso (2m, soft) where he jumped well; however, the second has disappointed since and he's probably up against it. |

Fell in his first Irish point but he showed promise when runner-up in the second one in May; out of a half-sister to Triumph Hurdle winner Spectroscope and he needs checking in the market on this switch to rules.

Justified strong support in a Newcastle bumper (2m1f, heavy; 9-4) on his debut in March; flashed his tail in that race but he kept battling to beat a clear second and he could have a good future at this new discipline.

Well backed when winning on debut in Newcastle bumper (2m1f, heavy) in March and he kept on for an encouraging fourth in a maiden hurdle at Kelso (2m, soft) three weeks ago; open to plenty of improvement now up in trip and he's one to be interested in. |

Pulled up in his first two hurdle runs before finishing well held at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) two weeks ago; made some late gains in that race but he was only eighth of 11 and will be more interesting when handicapping over further.

Won in the mud in the last two of his four Irish points; disappointing as favourite in a bumper here in May but he's had wind surgery since and is respected with tongue-tie added on this switch to hurdling; yard won this last year and also landed a division in 2021.

Won two Irish points on soft ground; beaten 25l on rules debut in a Kelso bumper (good to soft) in May, after which he had wind surgery; tongue tied for recent hurdles debut, when he couldn't get seriously competitive; the forecast testing ground should place more emphasis on his stamina. |

Bought for £70,000 after winning two Irish points over 3m on testing ground; in the latest he beat one who is now 1-13 in that scene and 0-8 under rules, so the form is nothing special; however, has joined a respected yard and should have a future. |

Showed some promise in two bumpers here in the spring but he made a low-key start over hurdles when a remote fifth of six at Hexham (2m4f, soft) two weeks ago; others preferred.

Showed some promise in two Kelso bumpers (2m, good/good soft) in the spring, including when a rallying third of ten on his penultimate run; closely related to a 2m6f jumps winner and he looks a possible improver upped in trip on his hurdling debut. |

Seven-race maiden who has not finished closer than 27l to a winner and was pulled up at Hexham (2m, soft) on his recent comeback; that took his hurdles record to 0-5 and is easy to look elsewhere.
