Talented but fragile according to his trainer; his only defeat over hurdles came in a Grade 2 and he's potentially on a good mark now chasing; had wind surgery.

11st 5lb |
Beaten for the first time under rules when sent off favourite for a Grade 2 at Sandown (2m4f, good to soft) last time, having raced freely; had previously made all and looked impressive on his stable and hurdles debut at Chepstow (2m3f, soft); big player. |

2-2 under rules, winning Fontwell bumper (good to soft) for Harry Whittington on first occasion; impressive in Chepstow maiden hurdle (2m3f, soft) on debut for Paul Nicholls, soon in a clear lead and scoring by about 9l unchallenged; smart prospect who commands respect. |

Has jumped well in winning his two handicaps over fences (2m), both small-field affairs on good to soft; has a collective rise of 16lb to overcome and he's tackling classier opposition now, but looks very progressive.

Winning novice hurdler last season and jumped well when comfortably accounting for Rose Sea Has on his chase debut at Uttoxeter (2m handicap; good to soft); up 7lb but he's a 6yo heading in the right direction. |

Placed in two Grade 1 hurdles in France; has yet to land any real blow in Britain but ran well for a long way on his return to fences at Aintree (2m handicap, good to soft) when weak in the market; will need to jump better than he did that day but he's a possible.

29th Oct 2023 Good To Soft 1m 7f 176y Class 3 |
10st 13lb |
Placed on testing ground in two Grade 1 hurdle races for 4yos in France, also a close third in his only appearance over their fences; had wind surgery last September and made a quiet start for this yard in four handicap hurdles last term; dropped 18lb since British debut and this trainer's first runner since the spring needs a close look if strong in the betting. |

19th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 0f 179y Class 3 |
12st 0lb |
Placed in Grade 1s when trained in France; it's been a quiet start for this yard and all his form is on soft or heavy ground, so he has questions to answer on a few counts this afternoon. |

Dual novice hurdle winner (2m3f/3m); made a solid start to chasing career last season, twice finishing runner-up and latterly third in a handicap won by the classy Monbeg Genius; seems to lack concentration at times (cheekpieces were new last time) but the ability is there to win off this mark.

3rd Feb 2023 Good To Soft 2m 7f 131y Class 3 |
11st 8lb |
Did well as novice hurdler and has made a pretty solid start to chasing career this term, without a win but he was a close second at Ludlow (3m1f) on latest start; looks better over about 3m than shorter; the addition of cheekpieces is interesting after he launched his challenge too late last time. |

6th Jan 2023 Good To Soft 3m 1f 125y Class 3 |
11st 9lb |
Did well as a novice hurdler last season (stayed 3m) and made a good start to chasing career at Aintree (2m4f, good to soft; first-time tongue-tie) when beating all bar an improver; Exeter (2m3f) was a backward step but he's better than that and this sort of trip could suit him. |

Promising novice hurdler last season (won twice) and was 15-2 for his chase debut at Ascot (2m3f handicap, soft) only to depart at the very first fence; should be seriously involved with a clear round.

Promising novice hurdler last season, who doubled his tally when quickening clear to win readily at Warwick (2m3f, soft) in March; could easily have a lot more to offer over fences this term; respected. |

19th Apr 2023 Good To Soft 2m 4f 56y Class 2 |
11st 6lb |
Wandered around before and after final flight but asserted on run-in to score at Warwick (2m3f, soft) last month; now 2-4 over hurdles and should be fine on today's quicker ground but others have stronger form. |
12/1 |
