Flat winner in Ireland who has won two of three starts for this yard; 11lb rise demands more but not the biggest surprise should he prove up to the task. |

Cut little ice in two runs for Neil Mulholland but he made a winning start for James Moffatt in 2m6f Cartmel handicap in August; up 6lb but he's still not dismissed. |

Kept on well to open account in 16-runner Hexham handicap (2m7f, soft to soft) in May and ran well to a point over that C&D last month, after a break; not out of this if that recent outing has brought her on.

6th Oct 2023 Soft 2m 7f 63y Class 5 |
11st 1lb |
Improved to win from out of the handicap over C&D (good to soft) in May, her 11th start over hurdles; it's hard to tell whether she'll build on that performance after a five-month break but she'll probably cope with the slower ground. |

Unplaced all eight hurdling starts; not beaten far when fifth of six as the 33-1 outsider in tactical C&D race five weeks ago but considered only if much stronger in the betting today.

Seemed to have turned a corner when third on return to hurdling at Carlisle (2m3f, good to soft) in April but was pulled up in next three races (two chases, one hurdle); returns from 161-day break on dangerous mark but it's very hard to predict whether he'll warm to the task.

Not seen since struggling in Perth maiden in May but his fourth at Hexham (2m, soft) in April was reasonably encouraging and he's open to significant improvement in handicaps.

14-race maiden; runner-up at Kelso (2m) on two occasions but has proved inconsistent overall and needs to show he retains ability having achieved little in two starts since returning from long layoff. |

15th Jan 2023 Soft 2m 0f 51y Class 5 |
10st 12lb |
Well beaten over C&D (soft) last month but he failed to settle and ran fairly well for quite a long way on that first outing since December 2020; could improve for the run and he's now 10lb lower than when runner-up over C&D (soft) on his penultimate start; one to consider. |

Left clear at final flight to win by 11l on handicap hurdle debut at Newcastle (2m4f, heavy) in April; pulled up soon after early jumping error on recent seasonal/chase debut and now quickly switches back to hurdling; remains open to further improvement.

Showed nothing more than minor promise in three qualifying runs towards the end of last season (2m-2m3f) but might get more competitive in this low-grade handicap; worth keeping an eye on in the betting.

Won soft-ground point by 12l on debut in November 2021 and displayed minor promise in two hurdle races (2m6f/2m4f) the following February; makes handicap debut after 623-day absence but is very unexposed and will need to be taken very seriously if strong in the betting; had wind op in August.

Has shown ability over hurdles; off for over 600 days and never figured before falling over C&D recently (first run since wind surgery); should improve but this may come too quickly. |

Bought for £30,000 after winning a 2m4f British point in November; went off at 5-1 on her hurdling debut at Kelso (2m6f, good) and was beaten under 9l, albeit in a steadily-run affair; hard knowing what to make of that effort. |
