Consistent good efforts over hurdles last season, rounding off when easily landing the odds over 2m5f here in March; half-brother to a winner over fences and plenty to like as he makes his chasing/handicap debut.

Runner-up to Nicholls-trained winners in two novice hurdles on good to soft this winter, before easily making all when long odds-on in a maiden at Ludlow (2m5f, soft); brings potential to this handicap debut. |

Has come up against Paul Nicholls-trained novices in all three runs over hurdles and performed well each time; nothing of that sort of calibre in this so major claims of getting off the mark. |

Plenty of chasing experience, some of it in good company, but didn't really improve last season; well beaten on return a month ago and beginning to look a shade frustrating; still hard to rule out.

Novice hurdle winner a year ago but didn't really progress from that; well beaten in a handicap when last seen in April; second in only Irish pointing start so might have prospects now chasing.

25th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 0y Class 4 |
11st 5lb |
Won 2m3f novice at Bangor (soft) last November and 3m1f may have stretched him on last month's handicap debut at Plumpton (soft); however, he was also below par at Leicester (2m4f, soft) in February; something to prove. |

21st Mar 2023 Soft 3m 0f 217y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Clear winner of Bangor novice (2m3f, soft) in November and not discredited when fifth in good-quality contest at Doncaster (2m3f, good) the following month; perhaps a shade disappointing when last in action but still looks interesting over new trip on today's handicap debut. |

Unplaced favourite when last seen in April but had earlier shown good form over hurdles, notably when chasing home a subsequent winner in a Market Rasen handicap; no surprise if he figures on debut over fences.

Unexposed sort who won a Hereford novice in March 2022 (2m3f, soft); bettered that last time on second handicap start when second, behind a subsequent Cheltenham winner, at Market Rasen (2m7f, good to soft; pair clear); chance. |

Won three times over hurdles during 2021-22 season (good to soft/soft ground) but has completed only one of his four chases this year; pulled up on latest outing six weeks ago (first run after wind op) and now sports cheekpieces; others have much less to prove. |

Two hurdle wins for Olly Murphy and plenty of good efforts in defeat, notably his third at Aintree in April; all form at 2m so bit to prove on chasing/stable debut but no doubting his ability; wind surgery.

10st 5lb |
Filled third in a deep 2m handicap at Aintree's Grand National meeting for the second year running and conditions (soft) went against him last month; hasn't had much racing for a 7yo and he's one to consider. |

Ran well (third off 3lb higher) in this race last year but that came off the back of a recent win; not sure to repeat that effort, having been absent since a well-held second in December; cheekpieces enlisted. |

Hurdle winner here in March (2m, now 7lb higher) and fair third later that month; should stay this trip on chasing debut and trainer thinks he'll be better over fences, so not discounted.
