3-4 over hurdles last season; collected a good prize at Uttoxeter (2m7f, soft) on latest outing in March and is probably still well handicapped for today's chasing debut; commands respect.

18th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 7f 70y Class 2 |
10st 11lb |
Posted similar RPRs for his two wins, latterly ridden out on his handicap debut over 2m6f at Ffos Las (soft) in November (following a longer break than today's); scopey 7yo who will be sent chasing sooner rather than later but he remains unexposed as a staying hurdler; raised 6lb. |

1st 1 |
25th Nov 2022 Soft 2m 5f 192y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Stoutly bred 6yo who made a bright start when scoring by 18l at Exeter (2m2f, soft; RPR 132) in February; 10-11 favourite there the following month and was mounting a serious challenge after the last hurdle but he hang badly left in the closing stages and had to settle for third of four; has not been seen since but he still has plenty of potential and is respected off what looks a fair mark on his handicap debut. |

Placed in two Irish points in 2022 and delivered on earlier hurdling promise when winning Newcastle novice (2m1f, good to soft) in February; unlucky to be carried out when still in contention at final flight at Sedgefield in April; open to improvement in handicap chases this season.

14th Apr 2023 Soft 2m 3f 188y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Off the mark at the third attempt over hurdles when justifying favouritism under prominent ride at Newcastle (2m, good to soft) in February; held in third of five under a penalty at Uttoxeter last time but that was behind a useful rival and he probably took another step forward with that creditable effort; respected. |

Progressive hurdler last season, winning twice (3m, soft/good) before creditable seventh in Pertemps Final at Cheltenham (3m, soft); easily won small-field chase at Kelso (2m7f, good to soft) when back in action last month and ought to make his presence felt again here.

1st 3 |
8th Oct 2023 Good 2m 7f 96y Class 3 |
11st 4lb |
Progressive hurdler last season, posting two wins (3m, soft/good) and a creditable seventh in the Pertemps Final at Cheltenham (3m, soft); this front-runner can make a bold bid if taking to fences at the first attempt. |
7/2 |

21st Apr 2023 Good To Soft 3m 0f 70y Class 3 |
11st 11lb |
Front-runner who kicked off 2023 with two wins at Musselburgh (3m, soft/good) and he returned to form with a creditable seventh of 23 in the Pertemps Final at the Cheltenham Festival (3m, soft) last month; drops back down in grade off the same mark and can make another bold bid. |

Impressed on hurdling debut for Dan Skelton in spring 2021 but, following a long absence, became rather disappointing for that stable last season; just a respectable third over fences at Southwell (3m, good) in March and was sold for £5,500 in May; makes stable debut today.

Lightly raced 9yo; unseated rider at first fence on chasing debut last December but ended last season in very good form over hurdles, notably when winning easily by 11l at Plumpton (2m4f, soft); has another crack at chasing here and could still have a good future over fences.
