Reappeared with close second over hurdles here last October but his form went the wrong way last season and he was pulled up on his recent chase and seasonal debut at Sedgefield, where he was reluctant to go to the start, slowly away and detached early; plenty to prove.

23rd Jun 2024 Good 1m 7f 133y Class 4 |
12st 0lb |
Won twice on slow ground for Nicky Richards last season (1m7f/2m) and is also suited by a sound surface but did not fire on either start for new stable in the spring and now has questions to answer. |

9th Jun 2024 Good 2m 4f 20y Class 3 |

in touch with leaders on inner, not fluent 6th, short of room and hampered after 8th, soon lost position, pushed along after 11th, struggling when mistake 4 out |

24th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 4f 20y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Two wins from final three starts for Nicky Richards (1m7f/2m, heavy/soft); looked fortunate at Newcastle on second occasion (left well clear two out) but that form still reads well; versatile ground-wise and won over an extended 2m3f on hurdles; not ruled out on stable debut (same ownership). |

5 yo Gelding
OR: 130
Built upon his previous hurdling promise (including in Britain) when easily making all in France (2m3f, heavy) in May; has since left Noel George & Amanda Zetterholm (remains in same ownership); this 5yo brings potential to his chase and stable debut and could have a major part to play.

2nd 7 |
18th May 2024 Good 2m 1f 77y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
Runner-up all three stats since returned to Britain in the autumn, in two small-field chases (1m7f/2m) and a novice hurdle (2m4f); raced mainly on soft/heavy ground but has possibilities if he handles the conditions here. |
14/1 |

2nd 1 |
13th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 4f 145y Class 4 |
11st 12lb |
Made all to win a conditions hurdle at Compiegne last May (2m3f, heavy) when trained in France; good second in a Wetherby novice handicap chase on yard debut in November (1m7f, heavy) but bled from the nose and finished lame when last of two in Haydock novice chase last time; sound chance if back to his best. |

8 yo Gelding
OR: 135
A good run followed by an ordinary one last autumn on first two chase starts; returned to fences for last month's reappearance at Carlisle (2m, soft) and won in good style; he's the only one of these who is proven over fences and is a solid candidate.

19th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 4f 110y Class 2 |
11st 12lb |
Runner-up to course specialist at Kelso (2m5f, soft) in February then won easily in small field there (2m1f, soft) latest; has run well on all four visits here and further improvement can't be ruled out, but he's back up in grade and needs to be better than ever to defy a 7lb rise for last time. |

1st 1 |
10th Mar 2024 Soft 2m 1f 14y Class 3 |
11st 10lb |
Got off the mark over fences at Carlisle (2m) in October and he comes here on the back of a good second in 2m5f handicap here 23 days ago; he can't be discounted back in trip now. |
6/4 |

2nd 3 |
16th Feb 2024 Soft 2m 5f 133y Class 2 |
11st 2lb |
raced in third, outpaced and lost position after 3 out, rallying when left in third 2 out, went second before last, no impression run-in |

W: 11st 10lb
7 yo Gelding
OR: 135
Five wins (1m7f-2m3f, good to soft-heavy) from his 11 hurdle starts; this point winner may be an improver now tackling fences (which was the case with his smart brother Valdez) and could have a big say on chase debut.

15th 2 |
12th Apr 2024 Soft 2m 0f 103y Class 2 |
11st 13lb |
Five hurdle wins at 1m7f-2m3f, including on heavy; returned from wind surgery with a close call at Kelso in February but he didn't run much of a race at Bangor (where he'd won two of his previous three course starts) three weeks ago which puts him down the list this time. |
33/1 |

6th 1 |
23rd Mar 2024 Soft 2m 3f 123y Class 2 |
12st 0lb |
5-10 over hurdles, including comfortable win in this race a year ago (good to soft); not much went to plan on seasonal/chase debut in the autumn but, following another break, he lost out only by a neck when back over hurdles at Kelso (2m, soft) last month; ought to be on the premises again. |
7/2 |
