Best effort in bumpers when 6l second to promising stablemate El Elefante (won on hurdle debut last month) at Perth (2m, soft) in April; others in this field achieved more in bumpers but the yard has plenty of promising young hurdlers to compare this one to so market confidence would look significant.

25th Sep 2024 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 1lb |
Never travelling on April's handicap debut (C&D, soft), and present attainment level uncertain having not been seen since; mark unchanged, and genuinely good ground would ask a new question; tongue-tie removed. |

26th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 0f 47y Class 4 |
11st 2lb |
Runner-up in a bumper at this meeting last year; won on hurdles debut at Kelso (soft) and probably better again under a penalty at Carlisle in early February; had wind op and now tongue tied; should have more to offer in handicaps. |

Seemingly difficult to train but has shown plenty of promise when making the track, comfortably winning a Carlisle bumper (soft) on debut in March 2021 then second under a penalty here (good to soft) just over a year later; evidently capable when fresh and it'll be very interesting to see how strong the market vibes are now hurdling after a further 19 months off.

25th May 2024 Soft 2m 1f 61y Class 3 |
10st 11lb |
Dual novice hurdle winner last season (2m, soft); disappointing favourite when only fourth of five on chase/handicap debut at Carlisle (2m, soft) in February and safely held when switched back to hurdling last month but the added hood may help him to settle better here, and he could still have a good future over fences. |

19th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 0f 0y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Stopped quickly on handicap/chase debut in February, having gone off favourite, after previously winning easily in maiden and novice company over hurdles (2m, soft); faces his toughest test to date but he's dangerously unexposed. |

Third in handicap and maiden hurdles around 2m (soft/good) in the first half of the year but the form is only modest and suspicion she'll prove vulnerable to the bumper/point winners in this line-up.

14th Jan 2024 Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 5 |
11st 9lb |
Consistent in her five runs last February-November, all over about 2m and second of five in a handicap at Hexham (heavy; acts on good) last time; needs extra to win but has place claims again. |

Strong in the betting when making a winning debut in a bumper at Carlisle (2m1f, heavy) in March; could only manage seventh of 15 under a penalty at Hexham the following month, but it was a good race for the track; decent hurdle prospect.

Bumper winner (heavy) who has so far been unable to kick on over hurdles; slipping to a more competitive mark but plenty to prove. |

16th Mar 2024 Heavy 2m 4f 62y Class 5 |
11st 13lb |
Heavy-ground bumper winner; hasn't yet managed to build on that over hurdles, including when coming in for some support on his return from wind surgery at Ayr (3m, soft; handicap debut) last month; drops 2lb and has a bit to prove but a competitive effort would not surprise. |

13th Feb 2024 Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 4 |

Heavy-ground bumper winner; shade disappointing when upped to 2m6f to Kelso last month but began hurdling career with two very encouraging runs and could still have significant untapped potential over staying trips. |

11st 8lb |
Not beaten far when fifth of eight on hurdle debut at Kelso (2m, soft) in October but didn't show a great deal in two subsequent C&D maidens (tongue-tie added last time); remains unexposed but needs January's wind op to have made a big difference. |

Not beaten far when fifth of eight in run-of-the-mill Kelso maiden (2m, soft) on hurdling debut in October but was safely held over C&D (soft) last month; tongue-tie added today; not the most obvious answer. |

Tailed off in Worcester bumper (2m, good) on sole run for Philip Hobbs but showed some promise when fifth on hurdle and stable debut at Kelso (2m, soft) in October, and his pedigree provides hope he'll improve; not ruled out. |
