15th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 0f 87y Class 1 |
11st 7lb |
Won by clear daylight at Southwell (soft) and Warwick (good) but tackles a very different calibre of opposition on this severe rise in class; falls into the 'could be anything' category but unlikely to be good enough. |

OR: —
Two-time bumper winner (2m, good/soft) who was hampered early when tailed off at 33-1 in a Grade 2 at Aintree in April; makes hurdle debut in warm race but he has potential and could give a good account.

Runner-up (albeit well beaten) in the first of his two bumpers and showed promise when 1l second on hurdle debut at Uttoxeter (2m, good to soft) last month; improvement needed but he's in good hands to progress; wears a first-time tongue-tie.

Half-brother to high-class chaser Any Second Now; pulled up in a point and tailed off in a Chepstow maiden hurdle, but there was also a second of 14 in bumper at Chepstow (good to soft) in between and he's had wind surgery since latest outing; interesting to see his market strength. |

19th Mar 2023 Soft 2m 0f 11y Class 5 |
11st 5lb |
Half-brother to high-class stayer Any Second Now; pulled up in a point on his debut last April; clear promise in a dramatic bumper over C&D last month, staying on when hampered by a faller in the final furlong; open to improvement but it may not be until his stamina is more fully tested that he flourishes. |

OR: —
Won Kilbeggan bumper (1m7f, good to yielding) on debut in April and ran well in defeat the next twice for new yard, then won on last month's hurdle debut at Sedgefield (2m1f, soft); improvement needed under a penalty here but latest form has been franked and this likeable prospect is not ruled out.

22nd Oct 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 178y Class 4 |
11st 4lb |
Easy winner of a Kilbeggan bumper (1m7f, good to yielding) in April on sole run for Lorna Fowler, after which he was sold for 130,000euros; beaten in two good-ground bumpers for new yard, running to a fair level when second over 2m1f here 19 days ago; bred to do well over obstacles; rain would ask a new question of him now switched to hurdles. |

11st 9lb |
Bought for 130,000euros after winning a Kilbeggan bumper (good to yielding) by 14l and although a bit below that level at Newcastle, he still ran well; penalty doesn't make life easy but he's a strong contender. |

Won by 6l on debut in Irish maiden point (3m, soft) in March and changed hands for £45,000 later that month; makes rules debut with up-and-coming stable in fine form and could go well, especially if strong in the betting.

Three wins from her 29 Flat starts and she stays well; however, she's on a losing run in that code and is probably best watched on hurdle debut.
